Terminator: Salvation

Plans of seeing Terminator in IMAX didn't really work out. Which sucked. But it's alright. I'm glad I saw it, either way.

I have never seen a Terminator movie before this one. Not one. So I had really no idea what to expect walking into the theater, other than I was about to see some cool special effects go down. I was definitely impressed though. At the beginning of the movie they give you a short rundown of the background story, and they kept it short and sweet. After the few paragraphs at the beginning, I had no problem following the story and who the characters were talking about. There really wasn't much purpose to the plot at all. Basically, John Connor had to save his father (who is younger than him) and send him back to the past so John Connor could exist. But you never see the dad get sent back...I wonder where that will go...

The special effects in the movie were amazing. They were very well done. Remember two-face from The Dark Knight? Yeah. He ain't got shit on the Terminators in this movie. Actually I thought two-face was a joke when I saw him but that's besides the point. The effects were great. Tons of cool explosions and amazing make-up techniques.

There are some awesome surprises in the movie too...More for people who have seen the old movies but I still got them and I've never seen one.

Definitely check the movie out. It was totally worth it.
