So the story. It starts in 2003, it shows Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) on death row. Dr. Serena Kogan walks into his cell, and asks him to donate his body to
After that point the story is pretty bad. Reese is from the first, so he is Connors dad. Connor has to find Reese. Because if Reese dies, John Connor isnt born, and the Resistance will fall. Thats something i didnt understand until i read it online, since i havent seen the first Terminator movie. When i was watching the movie, i didnt know that, so before i read that, i thought the story was horrible. So i recommend you see the others, if you dont you might end up like me and be lost.
While the story doesnt really unfold very clean, the movie really relies on its action. It delivers, and thats something you expect from the franchise. Chantal Feghali does a amazing job on the visuals of this movie, he also did the visuals on Cloverfield. Never in this movie did i think that a explosion was fake, or was made with cg. The sound which was done by Ron Bartlett and D. M. Hemphill make every explosion come to life. All the machines give off this low pitched sound, kind of like the sound the aliens made in War of the Worlds. I think the visuals are the strongest part of the movie. Its what youd think of when you picture Earth after Judgment Day. It reminds me of Fallout 3. Just nothing but brown, grey colors, and buildings crushed every where, cars rusting on the roads. Just beautiful.
So all in all, Terminator Salvation is saved by its great acting and fantastic visuals. While the story doesnt deliver, its can be over looked thanks to the fantastic other peices of this movie.
