T4 or not T4...

... that is the question.

I'm really struggling with this one. Whether to go or not, I mean. I missed the press screening/s because I was away and now I'm in two minds as to seeing this at the cinema or waiting till DVD. I've always loved this series. I saw the original Terminator at a pre-release screening where it was advertised as the new Arnie movie. I didn't even know it had robots in it. Can you imagine that? Seeing a film that you no absolutely nothing about and then being blown away. It's only happened a few times in my life and The Terminator was one of them. A few weeks later I saw the trailer at the cinema and was startled to see they should the clip of the endoskeleton emerging from the fire. Now, I'm sure to those watching the trailer it wouldn't have meant anything out of context — except those images have a way of sticking in your mind and so when you finally come to see the film, you're waiting for that moment... thereby spoiling the surprise.

But I'm digressing. Initially I was against the idea of Terminator: Salvation, then I came round and proclaimed myself cautiously excited but the reviews (bar a few) haven't been great and I've got so much else to do and see...
