Terminator: Salvation is still a frustrating and sometimes sequel to the Terminator series. Take a look back 15 years later.
How do you follow up a classic like James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day? Well, you don’t even try and instead make Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, which continues John Connor’s story, so the studio can produce more sequels. T3 essentially served as the movie required to get to the movie the studio wanted to make — Terminator: Salvation.
many of them, like Bryce Dallas Howard’s Kate Connor, look like they just stepped out of a Variety photoshoot. Terminator: Salvation holds its ground as a standalone post-apocalyptic thriller. McG delivers large-scale spectacle and a handful of exhilarating action sequences, such as when a massive “Harvester” somehow sneaks up and attacks an outpost holding survivors:I’d enjoy Salvation if it was called Robot Uprising and kept in one of those discount movie bins at Target.
makes sense until it doesn’t. His vast knowledge doesn’t achieve the desired effect and nearly kills himEnter Worthington’s mysterious Marcus Wright, a human/machine hybrid unaware of his technical side. After bumbling around with Kyle Reese through much of the film, Marcus ends up at Skynet, where Helena Bonham Carter explains how he was designed to befriend and lure John into a trap. As Qui-Gon Jinn would say, “A wise plan,” until you think about it.
James Cameron is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. There’s a reason other directors refuse to follow in his footsteps. His films are classics but requiretime, money, and skill to create. At this point, I’ve stopped waiting for a proper sequel to Aliens and Terminator. Unless Cameron is involved, those films will never come to pass.
