this go close to the original terminator than any of the others do which be only a good thing . it have a kind of darker mad max feel to it by show how pocket of people around the world survive judgement day and be now face the struggle of survival against nature and most importantly skynet . the contemporary sharp cinematography be in the direction of transformer and war of the world with a bit of matrix in there for boot . christian bale bring a lot of credibility to the role of john conner but surprisingly isn not the main focal point of the film . i would have like to have see him more in it . the rest of casting be pretty good with some good performance . it contain a lot of nod to the other terminator film ( except perhaps t3 but the less say about that the good ) and but keep it own individual identity a a brilliant action film follow in great footstep . watch it .
