betTobba was a sweetheart and took me to see Terminator: Salvation, her treat (because I'm broke and pathetic)! Yay! ♥
All in all, it took me a while to decide whether I liked the film or not. I liked parts of it very very much but then... I hated parts of it too. Balancing that and figuring out which weighed more was hard. I'd watch the first half again but I'm not so sure about the rest.
Beneath the cut are some major spoilers for Terminator Salvation, not overly coherent but who needs that? So click at your own risk.
1. My vocabulary was limited to "Yummi" and "Owie" for a great portion of the movie. Near the end "Lame" was added to the list.
2. Sam Worthington. Holy fuck, yummi. So I'm jokingly slashing John&Marcus all the while. Their love is so intense! And awww he gives him his heart~~~ *throws up a little in throat*
2a. Because Blair doesn't care, no sir. Hot girl don't need no cyborg man!
3. Let's see. John Connor or a SUPER SOLDIER. John Connor. SUPER SOLDIER. Hmmmm.
Oh whatever, let's just kill the SUPER SOLDIER. We probably won't need him when fighting all those machines...
...What the effing crap, yo?
4. EVERYONE knows that Kyle Reese is John's daddy by now. Seriously. Poor kid, talk about issues. It's just so not going to stay a secret. And wasn't that the point? Only Sarah and John knowing. I get that he'd tell his wife but it seemed like they were not the only ones who knew
.
4a. Speaking of John's wife - kudos for not playing the "oh no they're going to kill the pregnant woman" card.
5. Seriously. The heart... Seriously? Man that movie needs an alternative ending like I need cash.
6. Arnold clone. Whyyyy? A little too many nods to Terminator 2 if you ask me and Arnie-clone was total overkill. Yeah yeah I get that it makes sense since he later remodels him and blah blah blah but couldn't he just... be without skin or something?. ("There is a room in this building stocked with full-sized naked Austrian men. Please make this go away, please.")
6a. And... speaking of which. Why go through all this trouble to kill them? They have Kyle in a cell.... poison gas? Electrocution? Garbage dump style crushing walls? Spikes through floor and ceiling? Noooo let's just send a friggin robot in there, that always works really well. There's NO WAY they'll manage to survive that or anything.John never survives terminators, nope! You have them in an empty hallway. Seal it up and gas them! O_o No seriously, we tried Arnie already. It did not work. John made him a pet, have ye learnt nothing? Okay, timeline wise I guess they don't know that ...but hey! They know Reese goes back to make John and protect his mom from... a terminator we presume? I hate that Reese is his real daddy, it just makes no effing sense in any context!
7. SPLOSIONS!!!!!!
8. The only thing worse than azombie terminator coming after you is a terminator coming after you on fire!
9. Sam Worthington. Mrrrrr. Yes it's a point worth making twice, shush.
10. Robots! Cyborgs! People in cages picked up by giant robots! I love shit like that.
11. I'm so glad I didn't pay to see this movie u.u
12. Napped before finishing this list and have now digested my opinion of Terminator and verdict is: Had mr. Worthington not been so hot, the movie would have sucked. The robots were cool though and Moon Bloodgood was hot as hell (despite her unfortunate name)... But that's about it.
13. Her name is Moon Bloodgood...
14. A little girl. Who doesn't speak. Whose name is Star. ...If not for the CGI I would have thought this movie was made in the 80's...
Penny: i'll see it when it comes out on dvd
Me: yeah
Me: funnily, there was so much action on the first part of the movie I was kind of leaning back going, "I'm sure it's easier to see what's going on on DVD" XD
Penny: wow
Penny: that's.. kinda not good
