Trailer Review: Terminator Salvation (Trailer #3)

Posted by Paul Clark


Up to this point, I’ve been pretty down on the upcoming fourth film in the Terminator franchise. And while I wouldn’t exactly say this latest trailer has made a believer out of me, it’s finally showing some potential to be good, and that’s a start. If nothing else, this is the first evidence that there are some new ideas at work here, rather than the same regurgitated Terminator mythology that gave T3 its same-old-same-old vibe (let’s see- how about we make Arnold the good Terminator… again?). I like the twist of including in the story a machine who believes he’s a human, which could bring some interesting human/machine ideas into play. But mostly, this looks like a pretty good dystopian SF actioner in which a lot of CGI stuff gets blown up real good. And I’m fine with that. If McG doesn’t, y’know, McG it up, this might be entertaining.
