Terminator: Salvation (2009)

I had a good conversation about meta-physics and science fiction genre after seeing this film with a friend. It seems to me the Terminator shares quite a bit with the Matrix. I found this Terminator a mildly intellectual exercise and one which manages to satisfy. I.e no major holes in the story, though there are obviously paradoxes. One weird thing which isn't giving anything away I don't think, is seeing your own father as a young kid. How weird would that be? (And then of course, how much weirder, as I was reminded by my buddy, later sending him off to die -- without telling him perhaps -- to make it with your Mom to have you?)
