Terminator Salvation Trailer

In the highly anticipated new installment of The Terminator film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

This looks very weak actually.

I always thought the Terminator story could make for a great BladeRunner/2001 style mashup, where Skynet AI starts to increase its methodology in pure deception.

Christian Bale as John Connor will probably get me to go see this.

Terminator motorcycles and a Mecha-Godzillanator might make me regret it.

It all comes down to whether they find a way to make the post-apocalypse war against the machines interestingly fresh, or if they fall onto sci-fi cliches (we're gonna make a virus! or we've got to destroy the central brain/power generator).

Deanosays...

I still can't get past Christian Bale as anything other than a safe pair of hands in these action films. Increasingly he seems a strange choice to play Batman and this film might be stretching the limits of the Terminator story. I suspect that if you take a composite of all the actors who have played Connor you probably end up with Bale anyway.
That big robot at the end looked ridiculous. I just don't think advanced AI would bother with something like that.
