DVD Review : "TERMINATOR SALVATION" Score C++
I have a special place in my heart for the Terminator Franchise. WHY? Performing as, and being a Live T-1000 stunt actor for the T2 3D shows at the Universal Theme parks for too many number of years I really wanted the franchise to live up to 1st and 2nd Films. After the disappointment of T3, I thought this might be a great reboot. T4, when it arrived in theaters was a mis-fire and I skipped it based on my friends and actual critic reviews. So after gettting a chance to see it in full, I must agree with the critics and my friends and say that not only did it not live up to the expectations we had, it did not even deliver as a reboot to get a whole new audience. T4 basically tried to rewrite the mythology and failed . I really found major faults in the way they tried to even get this one moving. Overall we have lost Terminator as a series....... The TV show "The Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles" did much better service to the series than this film did. I had high hopes for this one and it could have been a continuation of T23D or Even TTSCC. Instead they basically chopped the story in pieces and took little of the mythology to this one...What we were left with for this one is a confusing mish mash of ideas slapped together with a bit of helicopter and laser fire...... In the end this one is unsatisfying for me maybe much more than the rest of you..... I wish this was something that it is not.... See it if you want too
