Terminator Salvation: Why I like it despite of the bad ratings?

Why Bad Rating? Read Here in RottenTomatoes.

So despite of it, giving the movie only 34% rating, I wasn't disappointed like the Angels and Demons and Wolverine, and not so really amazed like Star Trek or Harry Potter. It was just enough and worth it and just reached my standards. I would give the movie 78%. For the good story, great special effects (the robots and the machines) and the visual effects & prosthetics.

The movie was set on the year 2018 after the Judgement Day predicted by Sarah Connor. John Connor was the key to the destruction of Skynet and the salvation of humankind from the machines. So if you really know the story of the Terminator, and watched the previous movies and even the TV Series, you will really appreciate it.

The terminator here is still Arnold Schwarzenegger (I hope I spelled it right) in 3D. I read once in an article that Arnold said he will be part of the movie but will not act it, so McG, the director of the movie (also the director of Charlie's Angels 1 and 2 movies, and Chuck series), decided to do it in 3D. That's why he looks not real in the movie. But it wouldn't be Terminator without Arnold, right?!

The story also revolves on a human cyborg (human flesh, heart and brain, chip controlled nervous system and eyes..haha) that seeks answers on why he's like that. And also the salvation of Kyle Reese, father of John Connor.

Trivia: the guy who played Kyle Reese also appeared in the movie Star Trek (the russian/german guy).

So overall, the movie was really worth it and a must watch!
