First reviews of Terminator Salvation


From slashfilm, Gandalf The Grey over on AICN says that he went in with low expectations but “actually came out of the cinema quite uplifted and hopeful.” He admits that the film “isn’t as convincingly done as the Batman reboot” but its “a good beginning for this storyline.” He called Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “brief” cameo “a cool moment”, and mentioned Danny Elfman’s score was “too loud and big for the movie.” Here is a short excerpt:

“Action is the keyword for this movie, which of course most people who goes to see this franchise will be expecting. I found that it had a little too much action, so that our characters wasn’t told in a way, that we could really bond with them. It lacked some more small moments of quiet interaction. The effects, however, are well done.” … “All in all I came out of the cinema with the belief that we may still have great stories from the Terminator universe, and that we at least have a fine piece of action movie, with the potential for a good story arc.”

Meanwhile, former Saved By The Bell cast member turned Extra correspondent saw a press screening and tweeted his first reaction: “Just saw Terminator/Salvation and Arnold makes a cameo as the old school terminator! Super cool surprise.. Good effects.” The Hollywood junket screenings happen in the next couple days, so I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot more early buzz soon enough.
