This is surely much better if you enjoy movies like Transformers and post-apocalyptic films like Mad Max set in desert type environments. I have no attraction to either of these, so Salvation is mostly a miss for me. Lots of huge action with robots, loud sound fx, quick edits, etc... a few good moments with the main characters but overall nothing special. Reminds me a lot of scifi movies that flopped in the late 90s/early 2000s because there's just no real substance. Genisys is a much more enjoyable entry in the franchise with a lot more character. I may watch this one more time like 20 years from now, or maybe not.

Starts off with a bang in the excellent opening sequence, but quickly turns into a mediocre drama that is a bore to watch. The good moments are when Clint is off doing his thing, tracking down the guys who did him wrong. Unfortunately those moments are few and the bulk of the film is spent in this town with a hanging stage, long drawn out scenes that are just a total bore to sit through.

Kind of interesting, but the original is superior in pretty much every way and setting this remake in Mexico really doesn't make any sense. The main character being Chinese creates a lot of problems with the story, like the criminal with the gun guitar case just happens to also be Chinese, and somehow the guy stumbles upon a Chinese crew in this Mexican town? The main value here is as a curiosity, but I can't say I really like this movie all that much...
