I've always wanted to know what it was like in that future apocalyptic, machine ruled world and I finally got my wish. An excellent take on the other side of the terminator universe. Instead of the typical matchup of advanced terminator vs. outdated terminator, we get all machines vs. all of the resistance. Director McG has allowed us to see after judgement day, when machines rule the world and witness their relentless brutality and violence. No Arnold, no problem, a great selection of machines to battle, top notch special effects, along with the great casting of Bale and Worthington make up for the lack of the governator. An excellent addition to the terminator franchise, I can't wait to see the what's in store next.
