      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      With storytelling as robotic as the film's iconic villains, Terminator Salvation offers plenty of great effects but lacks the heart of the original films.

      Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online It was good, but not great. Rated: B Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Missing is Cameron's signature action modification, best exploited in Aliens: the strapping female heroine. McG's testosterone-juiced world feels a little doomed without her. Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Laremy Legel Film.com It brings me very little joy to report that this version of the popular Terminator franchise is silly, obtuse, and pointless. Rated: D+ May 6, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review This rather cold exercise contains a synthesized quality and feels like it was executed by an artificial intelligence. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine 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] Rated: 6/10 Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies I liked “Terminator Salvation” and while it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, I think it has a place in the series.

      Mike loved whole experience Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/21 Full Review KB B It was pretty good but not my favorite in the series. Watch it when there's nothing else on. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Oscar S This was definitely an underrated movie should be watched Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Aaron C I genuinely don't understand the negative reviews this film gets, just watched this after years of putting it off because of the negativity. All I can say is Wow, what a film apart from the first 2, this is easily the best in the franchise. Casting is good , with Sam Worthington stealing the show. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S It was an action packed but story wise, it was so bleak. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Zinny Underrated take on the Terminator Franchise, i was left wanting a sequel to the original two terminators and this scratched that itch. I was left a little confused with the ending as it seemed final, but it would be neat to continue this movie with the plot line developed in Terminator: Salvation. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
