Terminator Salvation: Mindless Fun (The Good Kind)

[Lumenskir]

Surprised that no one immediately made a thread about this on Wednesday. Did T3 and Chronicles really erode the fanbase that much?

Anyways, of the three blockbuster movies I've seen so far this summer, the latest Terminator is definitely leagues ahead of the boring crapfest that was Wolverine, but nowhere near as through-and-through enjoyable as Star Trek. However, it does have some of the best action setpieces I've seen so far this year, but the dead space between the fun is just a slog sometimes.

If you haven't seen it, don't go in expecting a proper Terminator movie formula. This is, basically, a zombie apocalypse movie except with machines. There's no time travel shenanigans, no implacable men, and instead there are a whole shit ton of firefights and CGI. It still benefits greatly from not thinking about the plot, but in a logistics/worldbuilding sense than a paradoxy one.
