Terminator Salvation

So so
Fantastic special effects. But special effects alone don’t do it for me. I need characters I can feel for, and a plot that I can buy into. Terminator Salvation offered neither. Unlike the characters that I could connect with in The Terminator and Terminator 2 — Judgment Day, the characters in this latest attempt left me cold—like I was on a date with someone in which I had little in common. You know the feeling? Bottom line: I just didn’t care what happened to the characters. Nevertheless, I like Terminator Salvation better than I expected. Probably because of the special effects.

    Haven’t seen the movie yet and couldn’t work up any excitement to go and see it really… will wait till it’s on DVD.
