Mindless sci-fi war film is a series of explosions connected by a weak plot. The fourth installment of the Terminator series foolishly disregards the format of the previous films, which focused on an identifiable Terminator to root against. As a result, the movie lacks that emotional element that would allow you to connect with the characters. It seems music video director McG is more concerned with explosions than actual plot. Actor Sam Worthington plays the only interesting character, a former death row inmate who mysteriously awakens from hibernation in a research facility. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who appears briefly via CGI, is sorely missed.
