The year is 2018 and the machines are bigger, badder, and bolder than ever. Welcome to the future, or at least the future according to the fourth installment of the Terminator film franchise. Terminator: Salvation stars Christian Bale (Batman, American Psycho) as John Connor, leader against the resistance of a takeover initiated by the machines, created by a corporation called Skynet.
The beginning of the film flashes back to the year 2003 when a death row inmate named Marcus Wright, is persuaded by a woman named Dr. Serena Kogan (Helena Bonham Carter) of Cyberdyne Systems to sign over his body for the purpose of medical research, after his execution takes place. A year passes, and the Skynet system is activated thinking that human beings are too much of a danger to their own existence. The system then kills off millions and millions of humans in what is known as Judgment Day. Years after the event called Judgment Day (in 2018), the terminators who are practically in charge of the world are fiercer and building their armies in hopes to control all living human beings and kill off any humans that pose so much as a hint of a threat.
John Connor who heads the resistance is in an interesting situation. Using history as his guide, via the tape recorder that his mother started recording for him in 1984 to help prepare her son for the future wars, he is thrown some curve balls. Marcus Wright wakes up in 2018 and finds out that he has been part of an experiment that makes him a robot. When Wright crosses John Connor, Connor doesn’t trust him because anything that has the makeup to be a machine is “one of them” to him.
Riddled with chaos, confusion, and a war to win, serving as the last hope for the surviving resistance, John Connor must try to destroy the machines which make the machines fight humanity, as well as combat the original Terminator machine that was programmed to go back in time to kill Sarah Connor so that John could never be born and lead the resistance.
All in all, it was a very intense and action-packed film. I enjoyed it very much. As for Arnold Schwarzenegger, he was not in the film personally, but his likeness was. In the film you will see a computer generated version of Arnold the way he looked in the first film. This is the Terminator that was sent in the first film to kill off Sarah Connor. I thought it was cool how they incorporated that Terminator in this film, referencing the one from the first, and linking to a remark Arnold makes in Rise of the Machines.
I won’t spoil it for you, but I recommend seeing it for yourself, especially if you are a fan of the Terminator movies like I am. I give it 4 out of 4 stars.
