By the look of the previews for Terminator Salvation, I had high expectations for this movie. The action was pretty intense and the SFX were very well done. Lots of really cool camera shots and cool technology. What disappointed me most about this movie was its extreme predictability, and occasional cheesy dialogue especially in the end.
References to previous installments of the series felt forced and "last minute."
If not for Christian Bale (resurrected Batman franchise), I probably would have waited to rent it on DVD.
They could have done a better job with this movie. I expected to see something a little more original, that's all.
