Terminator Salvation by Antonio Martin
An oasis in the desert
The room to overflowing. Spectators await the time of the rise of the curtain with a mixture of excitement, some nervousness and anxiety. He notes that many are big fans of the Terminator franchise, like me.
I remember the second installment was the first time I saw a movie in a theater. I was nine and the image of T-1000, the enemy of Arnold Schwarzenegger, dying in liquid metal and perishing swallowed by the lava, has haunted me all my life. It struck me very much.
Later I learned that this was due to genius Stan Winston, the fabulous visual effects technician who died of cancer just after a new adventure in Terminator Salvation. For this and many more reasons, as this is the saga of science fiction and I most enjoyed along with Allen, expecting wonders of this below.
Although logical questions. McG directing ¿? Does the same person who was responsible for the two films on Charlie's Angels? Had to give him the benefit of the doubt. Finally, the result is very, very entertaining. Peliculón But neither is nor, surprisingly, gives great prominence to the main character, John Connor, played by Christian Bale. This revelation has a name: Sam Worthington (Marcus). In a film that highlights not just to break molds or his originality, his character is quite a find.
Now notice: if you want me spoiling anything, stop reading now. I said NOW. You are warned.
It gives me goosebumps to hear, after a dull opening credits to the utmost, the soundtrack for Brad Fiedel, suitably modified here by Danny Elfman. He begins the film. They have the character of Marcus, who was sentenced to death by lethal injection. But a mysterious woman (Helena Bonham Carter), suffering from cancer, convinces him to donate his organs to a project whose objective is not disclosed.
The action moves to 2018. Years after the Day of Judgement. Mankind has been wiped out almost entirely by machines and survive only small groups.
"If you're listening to this, you are the resistance," said Connor in a radio message. In Bale's role suits him like a glove. Is again strong and credible, but his character or the court gives you all you expect, nor has the depth required. He's a leader, seen by many as the messiah who will lead the humans to victory, but he does not have as clear. "This is not the future that my mother told me," he says.
The truth is that is overshadowed by Marcus, who wakes up with self-doubt in this apocalyptic scenario and desert does not recognize. Why are you alive? Quickly trace friendship with the young Kyle Reese (the soldier sent by Connor in the first film to protect the life of Sarah, her own mother) and Star Together with the small machines face until both are captured and taken to Skynet (the enemy base), where experiments with humans to find the ultimate weapon that completely eradicated.
On the way to San Francisco, where curiously has the Skynet base, he runs into Connor and the rest of the survivors. Due to the explosion of a mine, Marcus discovers his true nature. Here begins the best of the film, the psychological confrontation between Connor and him.
After a show of explosions and shots for salads, you reach the climax ... but I will not gut how it ends. I anticipate that Skynet has prepared a surprise.
In any case, it was very enjoyable 105 minutes, despite the pace videoclipero director of the F / X sings a lot in the battle sequences at the beginning of the film, and that some characters are huge blobs that do not add anything, such as Barnes (Common) and Kate Connor, John's wife, who spends the entire film and release four sentences pregnant with Bryce Dallas Howard pouting.
Okay, the wonder is not expected, but what joy to see Bale is to say, with your everlasting ornery face: "I'll be back". And it does not have much paint to lie. If accompanied by the box office, he will, no second and third. (Or fifth and sixth, depending how you look).

Man, how that "there is the wonder that we expected"? If the truth is that the third party was a complete hodgepodge. Particularly I was not expecting more than another stupid Hollywood more and perhaps that's why I loved this Terminator Salvation. Highly recommended.

Please ... Do not be afraid to spoiling, do not lose yourself anything. You better have put together a couple of geeks terminator for the script, which for 20 hard make you a masterpiece. I prefer to dream with this futuristic mythology that james cameron to see this van artificial firecracker, the future is not that we expected, we know that the story revolves around the year 2018 and the future that appeared in previous installments from the year 2029, but what I find a violation of the saga is the story as contrived and as Hollywood. For those who are offended, Marcus does not paint anything, is a character rather Spielberg's Artificial Intelligence that this film itself, these giant robots, those bikes, these mechanical snakes .... why is: TRANSFORMERS?, the machines from time to exterminate vex have mercy and pick up people, but what the hell this is, WAR OF THE WORLDS?, where is that dark future, frightening, violent sci-fi is precisely why people come to see her movies, and skulls on the floor?, it is not true to the genre, because a couple of terminators out does not mean that the movie could have been otherwise entitled, with less money and a decent script would have made a masterpiece. The only thing that saves is the voice of Sarah Connor in the tapes, and the scene of chuache. When I imagine the future of the first part and see this movie made me mourn, I prefer to dream to do this America again.

VITO AGREE BUDDY, the film left me with a bitter taste, the truth I wait for that post-apocalyptic world in blue and dark, where THE WAR BETWEEN MEN AND MACHINES YET GIVEN IN THIS FILM ALMOST MAKES NO Terminators SUPPOSED What should be the world full of hordes of Terminators, and will not stain WANT TO REMOVE A JHON CONNORS SKYNET? HELL WHY IS LIMITED TO SEND ONE AGAINST THE TERMINATOR? And being in SKYNET IS TO HAVE MORE APPEARS AND ONLY ONE TERMIANTORS, non-staining, SERIOUSLY THIS FILM I was very disappointed, not pessimistic because if I lingered for a good and has very well done SCENES, PROCEEDINGS ARE REGULAR GIRL I THINK MOVE WAS THE BEST ACTRESS AND THAT OR NOT SAID A WORD, BUT THIS VERSION IS NOT NOTHING LIKE TERMINATOR what I imagine, is APREC OR MORE THAT ARE AT WAR, BUT WHAT IF I THINK OF MOTHER IS A MIND ARNOLD THE APPEARANCE OF SERIOUS THAT DIGITAL is a mind of Mother, did not reach the KE PRICE? Pork ¿INCLUDING DIGITAL IF CAN HAVE REAL? IF THIS IS THE HIGH KE, ARNOLD Jeers KE KE Fuck HAVE NOT PARTICIPATED IN THIS MOVIE REAL.
I put a 7 GOOD OF 10, BUT SERIOUSLY THIS MOVIE COULD HAVE BEEN EPICA And it turns out to be another of the bunch, NOT STAND TO ALL YA SEEN.

This movie is only the beginning (I hope). gives the original idea for more, I guess in the future will be more dark and apocalyptic.

If I add the bigotry that I have for Terminator, I give a 7. Anyway, it's a movie that no one will miss ...
