TERMINATOR SALVATION (C)

Starring: Christian Bale, Anton Yelchin, Sam Worthington, Bryce Dallas Howard, Moon Bloodgood and Helena Bonham Carter
Story: Judgment Day has come and gone. The artificial intelligence network Skynet controls the army of Terminators that roam the post-apocalyptic landscape, killing or collecting humans where they hide in the desolate cities and deserts. Only one man saw Judgment Day coming. One man, whose destiny has always been intertwined with the fate of human existence: John Connor. Now the world is on the brink of the future that Connor has been warned about all his life. But something totally new has shaken his belief that humanity stands a chance of winning this war: the appearance of Marcus Wright, a stranger from the past whose last memory is of being on death row before awakening in this strange, new world. (Warner Bros. Pictures)
Rated: PG-13
Bottom line: In the realm of summer movies, TERMINATOR SALVATION falls somewhere squarely between the declawed WOLVERINE and the out-of-this-world STAR TREK. It’s a beautifully high-powered action movie with dull, robotic acting and storytelling (you know you're in trouble when the computer-generated robots in your movie have more life and soul than the human actors). …and regardless of poor grades and word-of mouth it’ll make a ton of money, gain some new fans and warrant a few sequels - so mark my words…they’ll be back!
