Terminator Salvation
All grown up in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor must lead the resistance of humans against the increasingly dominating militaristic robots. But when Marcus Wright appears, his existence confuses the mission as Connor tries to determine whether Wright has come from the future or the past -- and whether he's friend or foe.
Critics Sentiment
CGI Arnold T-800 fights Marcus and John Connor
Skynet reveals Marcus was designed to lure John Connor
The film drops significantly when Skynet's betrayal of Marcus undermines his character arc, then surges back up for the nostalgic T-800 battle sequence
Terminator Salvation receives mixed but generally positive reception, with reviewers praising the post-apocalyptic atmosphere, Christian Bale's John Connor, and spectacular action sequences while criticizing plot complications and character development issues. The film peaks during the climactic T-800 battle but suffers from convoluted storytelling in the third act.
