Terminator and Blood

Well watched Terminator Salvation and the live action adaptation of Blood the Last Vampire recently and here are some thoughts.

Terminator was decent overall but some parts felt predictable and the story wasn't very compelling for me. Everything worked out well and no major complaints on the movie. I'd say it's worth the watch if you enjoy robots and explosions.

I didn't even know that there was going to be a live adaptation of Blood but I didn't mind taking a look at it. Although it is a somewhat older anime movie (2000) and provides a decent story to a movie full of monster slaying. Most scenes provided recollections of the original anime movie and in its entirety, seemed to fit well. I can't recall the exact details of the original but the live action movie did not follow the plot to a T which I guess is fine. I also enjoyed watching Blood+ which takes place in an alternate universe. This probably threw me off from some details in the original movie and live action so I could just be confused. I may rewatch the original and see if my memory holds up to compare the two. Just wanted to say that some of the monsters' effects stick out like a sore thumb rather than blend into the picture which I've been accustomed to but may be an eyesore for some. It's a decent movie but I'd recommend watching the original anime movie first to truly capture the essence of the movie.
