"Terminator: Salvation"


  

          

I have tix to the midnight show, but it's a damn hurricane outside, and I'm gonna have to wait til the noontime show tomorrow.

Reviews online have been oddly split... some think it's mechanical and heartless (ironic?) and others think it's a fun action flick with great special effects. The NY Times notice leaves me pretty optimistic.

Anyone seen it? Thoughts? And let's try to keep spoilers out of the subject line, people.

It was fun, and the beginning was really good... but...
May 22nd 2009
27
Not one element of this movie made sense.
May 22nd 2009
30
Clearly an over reaction.
May 22nd 2009
31
Name one thing in the movie that made any sense.
May 22nd 2009
32
      You're still over reacting, lol.
May 22nd 2009

           Not liking the movie isn't overreacting.
May 22nd 2009

                bingo
May 22nd 2009
40
                And this isn't the least bit contradictory?
May 22nd 2009

May 23rd 2009
64
also, the whole time travel shit just gets very convoluted and dumb
May 23rd 2009

There's a strict one Terminator at a time rule, apparently.
