i be actually rather surprised that this film be as enjoyable a it be . after read several scathing review i be very worried go into this film . overall i have a good time watch it . now i should preface this with the fact that i be a huge fan of the terminator film or franchise . i think that overall the look be amazing and the action and cg be great and the acting be mostly good . i think the film suffer from not enough character development and i think that mcg be on the right track and but need a tight script and story to work with . you can tell in the film that he be a fan of the first film . i definitely get a kick out of all the throw back to the film . not just the obvious one like the music choice or one liner and but also subtle thing like single hand shotgun cock or single hand pipe blow and or the choice of setting and shot . i have to say that anton yelchin a kyle reese do a fantastic job . he be probably my big worry in the film a michael biehn and kyle reese be probably my favorite character in anything ever and so basically he have big shoe to fill . well i do not think it possible and but he actually make me love that character even more . so mad prop to him . again i think this be a very valiant effort by mcg and he need to work out a couple kink for the next film and which i really he get the green light on . basically there be a few of loophole and inconsistency which could bring you down if you linger too long on them and but if you be able to get past that it be definitely worth watch . but those be in all the film and even the second have some . ( i be not say it good than and so do not stone me . ) in short i have a lot of fun at terminator salvation .
