Montag's Movie Reviews

Terminator Salvation is surprisingly good. Given the disappointingly forgettable summer popcorn flick that was Terminator 3, the fourth title in the series didn't give one hope of being much better.

Aside from a few minor annoyances, like the heavy use and abuse of lens flares ( apparently everything in the future is so bright it causes lens flares. That's how you know it's the future ! ) So what's the move like overall? Click below to read the rest of the review and find out! The movie follows Kirk and Spock as they grow up, and it's pretty funny at times, especially as you see hints of the people they will ...
