Sam Worthington is a death row inmate who donates his body to CyberDyne (I hope I spelled that write) which is the company that created Skynet, that super computer that gets mad at people and blows up the world causing Judgment Day. So Bale plays John Connor, the 3rd actor to do so on the big screen (unless you start counting up the # of John Connors on IMDB then he’s the 6th actor to play John Connor, including the TV show) who is the son of Sarah Connor and supposedly the man who will save the humans against the machines. This film takes place after the war has already started and there are machines everywhere. That little annoying kid from Alpha Dog (the one who gets kidnapped) plays Kyle Reese, who was introduced as John Connor’s father in the original Terminator.

Basically a lot of humans don’t like Connor because they don’t believe he is the messiah. The war guys in the submarine come to the ingenious conclusion that they must attack the machines with some new sound vibration thing they found that renders the machines unconscious. Basically think of all the new age sound wave kind of things and you have the basic concept.

This film is indeed rated PG-13 but that didn’t stop it from being an action packed thrill ride from start to finish. I actually liked this film quite a bit.

Ironically its 1 of 2 films I’ve seen recently that takes place in San Francisco, the other one being Star Trek.

Arnold makes a guest appearance as well.

Pros: Non stop action thrill ride
Cons: I didn’t really have any
Verdict: 8.5 out of 10 Go see it
