Terminator Salvation seems to have lost the spirit from the previous films, it just doesn't feel like a Terminator film. Maybe it's because of the absence of Arnold Schwarzenegger or maybe it's because the film doesn't use time travel as a key plot device, but whatever it is, the film feels lacking. The film's plot wasn't that great, it's not as if it is confusing at times, but it feels as if it had no direction. Some of the new types of Terminators feels like a major departure from what was depicted before. A big part of the film has the Resistance having access to planes and helicopters, but considering that these types of vehicles would need a fairly large base, it's a wonder that Skynet hasn't wiped those out already (especially when Skynet was depicted as all powerful). The climax of the film was disappointing, it wasn't exciting and it didn't make the hour of relative boredom before it worthwhile. I'm not going to say that there were neat concepts in the film, coz there wasn't, it all feels very generic and for some reason, somewhat reminds me of War of the Worlds.
