I saw this movie twice, the first two days it opened, and will definitely be purchasing it when it comes out on DVD. All the elements were there for past fans of the "Terminator" franchise, as well as a solid story for any newcomers, if there are any! Christian Bale brought his trademark intensity to the role of John Connor, and I especially loved Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese. I have been a fan since he was very young. Watch this actor, he is rising fast. The action was non-stop and fantastic, and the story about the first blended machine/human terminator was excellently written and well-played by Aussie Sam Worthington. I look forward to forthcoming installments in this series.
