Terminator Salavation the fourth film of the series is an entertaining but ridiciculous movie. Following on from Termintator 3 the rise of the machines the story picks up John Connor (Christian Bale)survivor of Judgment Day, now a senior commander of the resistance plotting the downfall of the 'self aware' SkyNet. An almost too good to be true solution is immediately detirmined through the discovery of a radio frequency which when transmitted paralyses any machine within its range. The subsequent plot follows the testing of the new weapon against machines of varying sizes, each time sucessful, and this leads to the verge of a full scale attatck by the resistance against Skynet. I can't be arsed to carry on completing a description of the entire story - a bit like I suspect happened in writing of the script for this film. How was the solution detirmined by the resistance? and how did John Connor single handly infiltrate SkyNet? to name but a couple. The bit that annoyed me though was the use of the female pilot who must be an offense to any femminest watching. She is introduced with all the attitude and protense of a gutsy, tough, respectable member of the resistance. This is immediatley dispenced in a fight scene, against a bunch of sex hungry thugs, where her attempt to escape is an emulation of an enclosed fly defending itself against a million fly swats beating at a 1000 beats a second. Saved by her mysterious newly found companion she falls in love with him to such an extent that she later is willing to potentially sacrifice the entire resistance on the basis of a strong heartbeat. Shes know this guy not even 24 hrs! Her character was a joke and her impossible to take seriously. The film was entertaining but it could have been mcuh much more and the attack of this blog lays on the writers door. Will I be back for the next one? maybe.
