After a mediocre third entry this latest sequel in the Terminator series is a refreshing change of pace. The emphasis is mostly on action as the human drama takes a back seat to the spectacle this time out, but the eye candy is amazing and the action is thrilling. My favorite bit involved an aerial combat sequence between a jet plane and a Terminator ship (the flying Hunter-Killer's seen briefly in the first two films). TERMINATOR SALVATION could have used some additional time on character development but the cast does well with what little material they have to work with. It may not be a classic but it's a fun ride to the very end.
