Terminator Salvation

The name John Conor is synomynous to Terminator as the latter is synomynous to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Of course, there is no way a Terminator movie can be a true Terminator movie without Arnie. Yet in Terminator Salvation, Arnie has a cameo appearance as the future T-800 cyborg, which adds a dash of nostalgia to the classic terminator movie.

This is the 21st century. The civilisation which we have come to know is almost decimated after the faithful judgement day. Skynet is now in control of the world. There are many Skynet machines around the cities, eradicating the human race.

John Conor leads a resistance army to attack one of Skynet underground base and discovers an unusual sight. There are human prisoners. Conor firmly believes in the evolution of the machines, having seen them in his younger days. Skynet has made a big technological advancement from the current T-600 to the new human cyborg T-800.

The plot in Terminator keeps me intrigued and hungry to see what is next. At the back of my mind, I have known how difficult it has been to get rid of one cyborg. I find myself (time and again, throughout this movie), grabbing my seat, wanting to see the resistance win over the machines. Wondering if Conor can really destroy Skynet, fulfilling the prophecy to saving the human race?

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 fairy clouds. The movie is fantastic, thrilling, unpredictable and mind-blowing. It has all the elements of a great action-packed movie with a well-written storyline. Go watch it now. Do not miss out on this excellent movie.
