    Seen em both and of the two of them Id go back to the movies to see Star Trek.

    Did like the tie in with Arny at the end though

    Over all Terminator was ok, watchable and enjoyable with only a few "how comes", like "how come them pesky humans still have all those large footprint facilities like airbases and the like".

    I saw it at the weekend too - thought it was OK yet nothing special, but certainly not as bad as the critics made out.

    Plumped for terminator - the missus doesn't fancy star trek, no matter how much I tell her - it's supposed to be good and not geeky ...

    Not watched either but the reviews say Star Trek is a very good film and Terminator Salvation is so so.

    Which makes me wonder why most people on here are saying Terminator?? Are they trying to shed the ‘geek’ image or are they so geeky that they refuse to accept a Star Trek film without William Shatner playing the star role?

    Not taking into account that JA didnt actually write most of his books. The copy he delivered to the publishers was so bad that his editor basically rewrote his books for him to make them readable.

    Purses and sows ears, polishing turds etc....

    In a previous incarnation I worked at his publishers, Harper Collins, and some of the things said about his "talent" were definately not complimentary.

    Me too, it was rubbish, I thought, book and film!

    This one though was much better, well I thought so anyway.

    Still would reccomend Star Trek though... yum J T Kirk was hot (sorry Zeity!)

    Mistake.

    Chucked it out of the speeding train window within an hour of having opened it, and concentrated on getting drunk instead.

    Angels & Demons? Saw it last night, I detest Dan Brown and all his works. Thank <Insert Deity of Choice here> the film was better than the book IMO.
