Terminator Salvation
Last night we went to movies.
First we had dinner at Sitar, in Cresta. As usual, the food was excellent, and the service really good (the owners take a personal interest, and are always around). I had a Lamb Rogan Josh, with Mango Gateau dessert; the drinks I had, the Mango Lassi and Sweet Lassi are terribly addictive.
Then we saw Termination Salvation. I must admit, I'm in two minds about the movie. I couldn't shake the feeling that we already knew what was going to happen; one of the hazards of a time-travelling storyline, I guess. I liked some parts of it, notably the whole plotline involving Marcus. Unfortunately, the parts I didn't like were just about anything involving John Connor. Sadly, I think Christian Bale has gone and typecast himself; I had no real interest in seeing another terribly intense Batman. The machinery was generally nice, and it was really great to see some A-10 Warthogs in action. Digital Arnie was really well done, but some of the special effects were a little iffy.
I didn't regret seeing it, but it wasn't a great movie.
