This rather cold exercise contains a synthesized quality and feels like it was executed by an artificial intelligence.

Terminator Salvation lacks human connection as the backdrop of the story, and if it has any, they're far removed from the films starring Arnold. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 11, 2023

I liked “Terminator Salvation” and while it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, I think it has a place in the series.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 25, 2022

No tricky time travel finds its way into the plot - and, perhaps, such complexities are exactly the ideas that are missing.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 29, 2020

Bale is dull and humourless and lacking in charisma, and the lumbering McG, at the wheel of the unstoppable juggernaut that is a Hollywood summer blockbuster, proves as much of a numbskull as you'd expect.

Who would've ever thought I'd be writing a review saying that Arnold Schwarzenegger would be preferable to Christian Bale?

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

It serves as an OK entertainment with a script that is better not to give much account. [Full Review in Spanish]

Put simply, Salvation has bold concepts and an interesting tone but the characters just aren't all that compelling.

[A]n explosive, exhilarating, entertaining summer blockbuster.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2019

A soulless, cynical film, designed only to mine a 25-year-old cash cow.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 6, 2019

As lifeless as its cyborg villains.

| Original Score: C | May 16, 2019

While the sights and sounds of the Skynet military forces hunting down the rag-tag army are all that an adrenaline-junkie could wish for, the human element falls flat.

I seriously thought my eardrums had burst a couple of times during Terminator Salvation. The movie sounds like jets crashing into a junkyard, one after another...

| Oct 30, 2018

It was good, but not great.

| Original Score: B | Sep 12, 2017

Terminator Salvation is a loud exercise in post-apocalyptic mayhem. When the dust settles and the action subsides, an intriguing story flourishes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2017

I think McG just wants to show he can spend more money blowing up more stuff more better than Michael Bay. And that's just McDumb.

| Aug 23, 2017

"Terminator Salvation" could almost pass as a sequel to "Mad Max," which goes to show just how everyone involved is merely going through the motions.

| Oct 7, 2015

This is big empty turgid gunk, coming more from the brainless Transformers school than the Cameron Big Art Pop philoso-candy cloth.

| Original Score: C | Jun 22, 2013

Everything that made the Terminator films great is absent in this film. The violence, the terror, the basic fear is gone ... In this film, children defeat a terminator.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 29, 2012

Once the screeching din has died down, you won't recall a single line of dialogue, note of music or plot point that wasn't punctuated with an explosion.
