Great movie, a huge improvement over T3.
This really was a film for fans of the series. Everything from the CSM-101 appearance, the scar, the tapes, the photo, etc. Lots of homages to T1 and
T2. Even the opening credits were like T1's.
My biggest complaint with the film is the music.
I liked it and I bought the soundtrack, but its missing a key element.
That missing key is the theme from T1 and T2. Some music from T2 does return, but not the theme. The drum beat/banging from T2 is in it and a more
minor piece from T2 is done in acoustic guitar. I have a knack for picking up these kind of things.
My second complaint, is the Edit. 30 to 40 minutes of film was cut out to make the film PG-13 and keep a high pace. The film should have kept the
slower dramatic scenes like Kate's pregancy and the brutal violence showing how horrifying the machines really are.
Other than those two things the movie was great. I personally enjoyed it more than Wolverine or Star Trek. Note I'm not saying its better than Star
Trek, just that I liked it more. I'm a big Terminator fan not a big fan of Star Trek.
One thing to add, this is for Fallout 3 fans.
Lots of visuals in the film look identical to Fallout and made the film even more enjoyable for me. So now I have my hopes up that one day we may get
to see a Fallout film, especially since I now know its cinematically feasable.
