SALVATION!

MOVIE: Terminator Salvation

DIRECTOR: McG

CAST: Christian Bale, Sam Worthington

From a long time you might not have seen a review on this blog. I was actually keeping myself inactive during the time movies were not releasing and even though I caught up with some disasters like Kal Kissne Dekha and X Men Origins: Wolverine , I did not write their reviews because I had vowed that the comeback review I would write would be of a really dashing movie. Well that says it all, Terminator Salvation is a thumbs up!

Coming straight to the plot, Its 2003 when Dr. Serena Kogan convinces Marcus Wright(Worthington) to donate his body for a "noble cause" of medical research. Trust me, you do not want me to reveal what that cause exactly is. The plot moves on to 2018 where John Connor(Bale) is the leader of the Resistance attack and fights the Machines. He gets off an island assuming he is the lone survivor but the remains reveal that Marcus has released himself from the Skynet base. What follows is his adventure when he meets two more humans in the form of Kyle and Star.

The strongest point in Terminator Salvation is surely the impeccable special effects and the humane touch to the Sci Fi script. The experience of Bale and the amazing promise of Worthington heightens the level of cinema completely. Though Christian Bale is the hero of the movie on paper it is Worthington's role which has maximum meat and it leaves an ever lasting impression on the memory of the viewer.

As in the Terminator 3: Rise of Machines, this too follows, infact elevates the unthinkable level of special effects in the form of cool robots and their fight scenes. So, the movie is basically about the clash between Machines and the Resistance(handful humans post the Judgement Day). One of the most catchy dialogues is when Connor motivates the remnant humans via radio as he says, "If you are listening to this, You are the Resistance." Similarly I can assume , If you are reading this, you are going to watch TS this Sunday....Go ahead, its worth it..
