I'm now in no doubt, the Terminator series ended, and ended well at Terminator 2. Man, that was a good film. I was unsure about whether or not Terminator 3 was necessary, but after watching Terminator Salvation, I'm now sure that everything since T2 was redundant.

Like Live Free or Die Hard, this fourth film in the series has none of the qualities that made the previous movies so good. It lacks everything that makes Terminator the brilliant films they were. In fact aside from having the checklist of items that have previously featured in a Terminator film, it didn't feel like a Terminator film at all - instead just some mediocre sci-fi action film, with a lame plot and some nice effects.

Note to McG: firstly, you have a stupid name, secondly just having the lines "Come with me if you want to live" and "I'll be back" doesn't make it a Terminator film.

Such a disappointment, don't waste your time.

Conceptually this movie seemed like it had intriguing potential. Unfortunately, it ended up just being absurd. That would suggest I hated it but I didn't. It was bad because of it's unsatisfying resolution, but some of the disaster scenes are pretty awesome so that makes up for it in parts. I wouldn't recommend anyone bother with it, but it entertained me.

Nicolas Cage is such a hammy actor, if you're able to just accept that as the status quo you'll be okay. If not, this movie will annoy the hell out of you and the ending will only infuriate you more. It was better than Ghost Rider at least...

I'm too much of a Star Trek nerd to judge this movie objectively. I was never sure what to expect going into this film. Would I be satisfied if it was a good movie, or did it need to be a good Star Trek movie? In the past I've been all too aware...

I'm too much of a Star Trek nerd to judge this movie objectively. I was never sure what to expect going into this film. Would I be satisfied if it was a good movie, or did it need to be a good Star Trek movie? In the past I've been all too aware that the two concepts can easily be mutually exclusive.

It is an entertaining film, done as a big budget action film. It's designed to appeal to a broad audience, rather than a niche one, and that's a wise thing to do. The use of the age old Trek plot device of time travel whose effects create an alternate reality is an elegant way of justifying a whole slew of new Trek related adventures.

More Trek can only be a good thing.
