What’s the story?
John Connor (Christian Bale) attempts to lead an attack on Skynet, a network controlling thousands of terminators, in the year 2018. He discovers plans of creating a new type of terminator – one that incorporates real human body tissue. Meanwhile, terminators are collecting more and more humans for this plan. Survivors are hiding to remain alive. As far as everyone’s concerned, the battle against Skynet has been lost. However, that changes when Marcus Wright (Worthington) comes into the picture, because he possesses a quality that no other human does.

Why see it?
If you’re looking for a movie with lots of action, this is the perfect one for you! It keeps you on the edge of your seat. Directed by Joseph “McG” McGinty Nichol, this movie remains the most expensive independent production in history, and it is definitely worth the money as you will be on the edge of your seat the entire time with all the special effects!

Problems?
This movie constantly has lots going on, which at times can be hard to keep up with and understand. And of course, any Terminator fan will argue that the fact that this film is missing Arnold Schwarzenegger just doesn’t make it nearly as great as the others.

All in All:
An action-packed film with something always happening.
