The movie relies heavily on the audience knowing the plots of Terminator I & II - it also helps if you got to see the Terminator Experience at Universal Studios.
Terminator: Salvation starts with a convicted murderer being put to death and promised a new life.
We then fast forward to the year 2018, when he revives in a post apocalyptic world.
With a new lease on life, he tries to make sense of his new confusing surroundings.
He befriends Kyle Reese as a teenager. Kyle Reese is John Conner's father.
He finds out that his purpose in life wasn't to be terminated as a murderer - instead he is to continue a murderous life as a terminator - Model T-001.
The centerpiece of this movie is suppose to be Christian Bale - as in Batman: Dark Knight his "tough guy voice" is almost laughable - it's hard to understand as he slurs and spits words. I enjoyed this movie, but haven't liked Bale since American Psycho.
I'd give Terminator: Salvation an 8 out of 10.
Sam Worthington is good in this movie. He seems to be the next big star as he was in Terminator: Salvation, Avatar, and plays the lead in the upcoming Clash Of The Titans remake.
Note: there's a fairly well kept secret about the ending of this movie that will be sure to delight you if you're a fan of the original series.
