McG

With the second one, should we be able to make it, I can’t stand how excited I am about it. Let’s just say that it involves time travel, and it involves John Connor once again trying to galvanize the forces of those who think he’s crazy.

I suppose there's a place for this studio picture's brand of popcorn catharsis. One just wishes the powerful story at its heart felt more genuine and less manipulative.

The action sometimes conjures a thrill-ride's breathtaking quality or, in other words, Terminator Salvation's only hope of redemption with audiences.

Their spy-prying...and displays of lunkheaded brawn...aren't endearing; they're horrifying, in ways there's no coming back from.
