I saw Terminator Salvation last night, and it was better than I expected it to be. I think this was mostly due to the action sequences, which were more interesting and at times more suspenseful than in the 2nd and 3rd Terminator movies. It was also refreshing to have the movie set in the hellhole future than in present day Earth. I think that helped them break out of the formula.
As far as the plotting goes, the movie wasn't the best, but somehow was able to hide the plot holes better than other films. One plot point that maybe was originally supposed to be a surprise wasn't, since it was revealed in the trailer. But, even if it hadn't been in the trailer, it would have been preedictable. And, while there wasn't any time travel involved in this film, because it's part of a series that have had time travel, it still had some of those annoying time travel plotting issues.
But, overall, I enjoyed the movie and was glad I saw it. Unlike Star Trek, however, I won't be offering to see it again with any friends who haven't seen it yet.
