I went in with low expectations- but I can honestly say this is the Best Terminator yet!
I know that's hard to hear- but the acting (especially Sam Worthington and the guy who plays Kyle) and story progression is great. The mood and setting really fits and is much better than previous visions of "the future" as portrayed in other Terminator films.
This is worth seeing in a good theater- the sound is AWESOME- you won't be disappointed.
Glad to hear director Mc G has been already green lit to direct the next one!
