Terminator Salvation is a huge upgrade from the previous action packed and suspense filled series. The new characters help to bring the story to life, while the short appearance of Arnold Swartzenager, in the buff, reminds you of the previous "I will be back" drama. The new technology and great special effects really work to bring the movie into the present with more realistic looking machines and robots. The new cast includes Christian Bale as John Connor, Sam Worthington as Marcus Wright (the half human half robot side kick) Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese (John's Father), and even a special appearance by Common playing the role of a member of the resistance. Marcus and John who start off as enemies, end up helping each other in their mutual battle against the machines and their search and rescue mission for Kyle. The double lead character forces viewers to pick a side which makes for a much more interesting movie. In the end things all fall into place and you are finally enlightened on the story behind the Terminator series. I would give this movie two thumbs up for its ability to create a more present day addition to the series and for the superb acting by the lead characters.
