Terminator: Salvation Review

Dear bloggie,

I wanted to blog on this last week, but I almost got terminated. So since it been 1 week already, and I ain't puking blood from any part of my body... Here it comes...

Cheng, cheng, cheng... "Terminator: Salvation Review"

Simple plain english with no machine code, doesn't deserve salvation. You see Terminator story resolves around machines, and through the whole movie, I indeed feel like I'm watching a machine. Sure, the CGI is cutting edge, blablabla, etc but where the f8ck is the human elements!? The whole bloody plotline was so bloody predictable if you could actually comprehend the confusing storyline to begin with. The main plot resolve on the theme of salvation which comes in the form a dude (God knows wtf his name is de) that decided to sell his body part for a human research for the better of mankind (Yea, right. Didn't these ppl seen enuff Hollywood movies to know this is a bad guy line?) to redeem himself for his crime for killing dunno who la. Hence he ended up as a half man, half machine and interwoven into John Connor's struggle to take down Skype Skynet. Then taking a book out from the Matrix, Machine actually very yam sap one, actually the 1/2 man 1/2 machine is a spy to backstab Connor. Then come the crux of the movie, when the 1/2 man 1/2 machine opts to betray the machine to aid Connor. Tis scene is supposed to be the core of the entire movie, a man more machine than human, why would he choose to betray his own kind to aid humanity? I failed to see the angst in the 1/2 man 1/2 machine being torn between 2 things he is, yet fully isn't. Instead the choice of him betraying the machine was clear from the start, just a matter of his human side overriding his machine control. I was expecting much much more than this "Just Do It" scene...

Yet again, I doubt even a strong performance at this part could salvage this movie. Then we got a short cameo of Arnold naked again, then the 1/2 man 1/2 machine donates his heart to John Connor to redeem himself and salvage humanity. Wow! Wat a way to end this movie... Nail to the coffin...

Final Verdict: If I had to pick between re watching either the ancient T2 and this, I would hands down choose T2.
