Terminator Salvation (Terminator 4) review
Overall I thought Terminator 4 was a pretty good movie–obviously there is some difference if you’re considering it a part of the rest of the Terminator series, I’ve heard many people claim that it doesn’t match up to the other terminator movies, but I felt differently, I think it does match up in some ways.
Obviously it doesn’t have Arnold or Edward Furlong as in Terminator 1 and 2, but it definitely added to the story quite a bit for me. It did take the Terminator series in a new direction, perhaps Furlong had been made too nice in Terminator 2 and it would’ve been a bit weird to see him suddenly bust out like John fucking Rambo and start shooting the shit out of everyone when we’re all aware as an audience that he has been a ‘nice guy’ in the previous movies (or rather, the previous movie he was in as he didn’t play in Terminator 3 or Terminator 1). The absence of James Cameron as director is felt clearly in the movie just from the different tone it has. However I’m not sure the same tone would’ve been possible without a complete change of actors and directors, I wonder what Terminator 3 + 4 would’ve been like with Furlong, Schwarzenneger and James Cameron but I’m not sure what I would’ve expected–undoubtedly something entirely different though.
