À propos de ce film

This highly anticipated new installment of The Terminator film franchise is set in post-apocalyptic 2018, with Christian Bale starring as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

Notes et avis

I look at this film as an alternate timeline. I split T1 & T2 place them together in timeline (A). T1, T2, T3, T4, & T5 is timeline (B) The T.V series is timeline (C) Common is crap in this, he should have been killed off instead of Terry Crews. Christian Bale is okay as Conner. Moonblood, lights a fire in me and I want to date her asap. Marcus is my favourite character. Anton is okay as young Kyle Reese. Don't get the little girl's importance. Production design is nice Cinematography is really nice.

The major flaw to the plot is that it all hangs on saving Kyle Reece so he can go back in time and be John Connor's Father. But John Connor is already alive in the present. So if Kyle does not go back in time what will happen to John? Will he just cease to exist and disappear? If so will his unborn child cease to exist and disappear? I don't think so. Ironically in doing this he nearly gets himself killed when really he could have stayed home and done his radio show. For this reason the plot makes no sense.

OK so this film doesn't hit the high standards of terminator 2 however as I happen to think T2 is the best film ever made, it does have a lot to live up to. After watching this a few times it had grown on me once I stopped comparing it.
