sad to say that terminator salvation fail to resurrect the franchise with the same quality that batman begin resuscitate the batman or star trek resurrect that franchise . t be the huge misfire that it appear to be from read all the critic bash it . it may not be the exact unsatisfying continuation of the t3 dud but it a new type of unsatisfying mess . just like poseidon and pink panther and it clear hollywood just want to cash in on nostalgia instead of create quality and original concept . bad film on nearly every level . disappointing to say the least . the movie be a one note bore until john conner one man raid to end the film . the dialogue be atrocious . slip in the i will be back line be a force a line a i have ever see . in fact and it draw an audible groan from the crowd i saw it with . leap in logic and rather mundane action drop this film to the bottom of the barrel in term of summer blockbuster material . i honestly can not think of one thing the director do right . shoot this one note crapfest through panty hose to give it a grainy feel may have seem like an artistic touch but all it do be add to the unsavory feel and genuine disappointment this movie will generate .
