I'm not a BIG fan of sci fi movie, the futuristic space ship and nuclear explosion doesn't give me that much of adrenaline pumping effect like how it did to those with XY chromosomes. I went to watch both star trek and Terminator salvation since there are alot of good comments
Star trek was a pure enjoyment. I never really watched Star Trek series before, however i find it easy to understand compare to Terminator Salvation and Star Wars series. J.J. Abrams has indeed succeeded in making a movie which is both entertaining to both the die hard trekker fans and to those who have not seen Star Trek before. The storyline was simple yet interesting, and the cast were simply outstanding. The highlight of the movie was the interaction between the major characters: Spock, Kirk, Sulu, Chekov etc. In fact, all the cast were not so famous but they were all talented and pretty much stood out on their own. e.g. The Samurai Sulu, the funny Chekov who cant pronounce the 'V', and last but not least, Spock who is so cool yet so full of emotion. Gosh i loved him so much! Zachary Quinto really played the character well. His expression of being a taught-to-be emotionless young vulcan yet with so much of emotions in him yearned to give it all out was simply spot on.

old cast versus new cast
On the other hand, the cast in Terminator Salvation are forgetful. Christian Bale (John Conner) acted like a co star, nothing about him stood out, except those scene he was kick assed by the Terminator Arnold. His radio broadcast speech was a bit plain if you compare to Will Smith's in I'm a legend's. The Marcus character has alot of loop holes, the kissing scene with the cancer researcher was meaningless, the part where he suddenly appeared in Skynet main controller room and underwent the skin rejuvenation process was not making sense. At the end of the movie, i cant recalled any memorable scene except the endless earth shattering explosion and shoutings.
Anton Yelchin was totally not there. His less than 10 mins appearance as Chekov in Star Trek give greater impact than his Kyle Reese role. He showed no resemblance to John Conner (although he supposed to be the father of John Conner) in terms of his characteristics/ appearance.
Can anyone tell me whether is it the real Arnold Schwarzenegger who make an appearance in the movie? I thought he quit from the entertainment business after he became the governor. It will be hilarious for the Californians to see their beloved Governor naked in the movie though.

good to know that terminator is not cinema worthy. I can strike that off and wait for DVD instead!! But what a shame, coz i love Christian Bale.
It can be entertaining if you just looking for pure action and sci fi(explosion, fighting with machine) scenes, however it lacks of character i would say.
I have watched both.
Prefer Terminator Salvation (atleast there is something NEW e.g. StarNet created Marcus - a machine with human flesh, which is far more perfect than T1000 in liquid form);
Star Trek (a bit disappointing, expected something new but nothing new, just like the series).
Hello. And Bye.
