My first "mobile" blog post in the 18-month existence of the HofG. Me and the MacBook Pro are sitting outside on the patio at Natty Greene's Pub & Brewing Co., sipping a new seasonal (the Summerfest Dortmunder Lager), and utilizing the free wi-fi downtown on S. Elm Street. Neato.Took in a matinee today: Terminator Salvation. The trailer:
A surprisingly-rated PG-13 romp into the future to California in the year 2018. John Connor leads the resistance movement against the machines. My mind begins to get swimmy as I try to wrap my head around the timeline: he is to save Kyle Reece from the prisoner camps so that down the road he can send him back in time to protect his mother from a Terminator also sent back in time and also to make sure he is conceived. Whew. So teenage John Connor is the subject of a rescue, and an innovative invention from 2003 is involved. A machine?....or something much more?
A breathy and moody Christian Bale portrays Connor. A re-hash of memorable lines ("Come with me if you want to live." / "I'll be back.") occurs. And a particular credit-less naked politician performs in a cameo role....except he's manufactured via CGI.
Meh. An OK film. The star here is Sam Worthington, the 2003 innovation. Bale could have been anybody.
Good for the popcorn industry. A solid Matinee and matinee only HofG score.
