This is a really good movie. You can obviously see it was on a tight budget, but I think James Cameron really used creativity, instead of money to solve the problem.(One of the only times he did considering Titanic.)Overall it was... Full review

Bale delivers Salvation for Terminator series....Perhaps with a few dud lines here and there and with some poor or hasty editing, Salvation is not without its flaws.....Danny Elfman's aggressive score is fitting for a stark, sepia-toned nightmarescape where the fight for human survival is paramount.....engaging descent into the would-be future of the human race, weighing in some spectacular fight scenes and jaw-dropping special effect sequences..... ...
