Movie Review- Terminator: Salvation

I loved this movie. Christian Bale is good but the Terminator 1000 is great. The story is effective, the screen play works (although Bale is a little over the top when he talks on the radio), and the action is incredible. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the music. (Are you surprised?) Danny Elfman wrote the score and it's.........................boring. The 6/4 leitmoif is great, but something melodic to counter would be great. That's the reason John Williams is so good. He understood the strength of melody and theme. We don't get that in Terminator.

I hope they make a sequel. The action alone is enough. The machine design work and I hope they can make Skynet more intellectual next time. If the machine's evolve, how can the resistance continue to fight?

as far as i have known, the T1000 is a liquid metal terminator. the T1000000 (from the 4-D movie at universal studios) is the guardian of skynet. the new terminator is actually an infiltrator model. the original infiltrators were raised (never appear in the movies, though) from birth with most feelings supressed. all other terminators were either triple-eights or T800s.
