 Not much. Um,
the movie ends eventually. I guess that’s good. The best part of the
whole movie is Anton Yelchin, playing Kyle Reese, who does it in a way
where he acts different enough from Michael Biehn where it doesn’t seem
like he’s faking his way through the movie, he acts like he really wants
to do right by the character.
Everything else. So much bad in this movie that it’s hard to know
where to start. So let’s begin with Christian Bale.
I like Christian Bale. But he is no actor. He can every so often act
really really well in a film (Prestige, Empire of the Sun, American
Psycho, the Bat-films), but here he’s just going through the motions
and screaming and whispering and growling everything he says. It
doesn’t make him compelling, it makes him a douche.
He growls and screams at everybody he’s around. I wouldn’t want to
follow this savior of the world, I would want to shoot him in the
face and throw him off a cliff.

Two scenes in particular, in
which he acts like he’s growling and screaming for no
reason, when he’s screaming about everyone being dead and
acting like a temper tantrum baby because the resistance
leadership won’t do what he asks of them, and his argument
with Marcus about what Marcus really is. That scene is so
damn stupid that I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off.
And then there’s Marcus. Sam
Worthington is worthless in this movie. |

His accent switches so damn often you
can’t tell if he’s British, American, Australian, or a Texan. It’s
all over the place and it switches more than once a scene even. And
his opening with Helena Bonham Carter is so hard to swallow, now he
knows what death tastes like.
So stupid. So pointless. And every other actor is such a waste of
space in this movie that I can just list them here. Moon Bloodgood.
Common. Ron Howard’s daughter. Michael Ironside. And a bunch of
pointless drones. And of course, Arnold ’s face on Roland
Kickinger’s body.
The movie is a pointless waste of time and is not the big action
movie we wanted this summer. It made me want to watch Terminator 3
again, as at least that movie has a point and ends in a very
spectacular way. This, not so much? The ending of this is so stupid
that it hurts me just trying to piece it back together.
I have so much more to say about this movie, but I’m running out of
space. So I give up, don’t waste any money on this piece of shit.
This film is a piece of shit. Pure and simple. Stay far far away.
