Review of Terminator Salvation (2009) by Jacob — 18 Jun 2015
Terminator Salvation does little to salvage the franchise providing another loud, dumb, and unnecessary film in the Terminator franchise. While the story is not a straight up retread of the previous films it is uninspired filled with tons of tropes; loud and dull action; and thiny written characters whose arcs are predictable and as lifeless as the machines they are fighting.
A gritty Terminator film set in the future in a prequel sequel isn’t a bad idea but without anyone interesting to connect with or action scenes that are shot well the film falls on its face. Even if the film is entertaining at some level it lacks any staying power and will be forgotten about shortly after one leaves the theater.
