Terminator Salvation (2009)

Not quite a full re-boot of the franchise (many obvious nods to the previous films take care of that), but this is more entertaining fare from the Terminator series. As the battle of humans vs Skynet rages on, there is plenty here for fanboys with some expected wry humour, set pieces and explosions (not just with Christian Bale on set between takes!). Looks good on the silver screen and will certainly have its detractors, but I agree with Empire and give this:
