The ORB's take: We get to see the future we have imagined 25 years ago when we saw the 1st Terminator.

Movie Review:
I have seen that this movie is getting mixed reviews mostly on the negative side. I read some before I went and saw this film, with the idea of seeing if they really know what they are talking about, or they just want to come up with negative comments about a sequel / prequel like most other sequel's are deserving of. Well, after seeing this film I have to completely disagree with most of all the reviews I have read - One comment that still resonates in my head is that "the movie was only o.k. because all the characters seemed dirty, and solemn throughout the whole film" - I laughed at this because this reviewer makes them-self sound like they have never seen any of the other films and has no clue what this movie is depicting....IT is the end of the world that is being destroyed by machines, if you walk out in the open a machine would either kill you or take you captive for the purpose of harvesting your body and organs for experimentation - I don't think many people would be throwing parties and having smiles on their faces. This movie works! It unfolds the imaginary world that we have created since seeing the first "Terminator" back in 1984, and brings it to life on the big screen. Twenty-five years later we get to see what the future in "Terminator" is suppose to look like. Christian Bale and the rest of the cast do a great job not taking away from what this movie is suppose to be - action and the feeling of little hope for mankind. If you are a fan of any of the "Terminator's" even if you have only seen one of the previous 3, this film is a must see, and hopefully not the last.

What to Watch For: Special effects, Skynet's other creations other than the 3 terminators seen in the previous installments.
