Terminator Salvation Trailer Insists On Blowing Shit Up

Terminator Salvation

Having just watched The Dark Knight last night, I am in the mood to talk about great practical effects, similar to those that McG has been promising to use in Terminator Salvation. And based on the explosive shenanigans found in the brand new trailer below, which was released on Apple last night, I’d say we’re in for a treat. Christian Bale looks dirty and angry as John Connor, a real man on a mission instead of the curiously wussified kid on The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and the film has a definite grit to it. As I’ve said before I’m still betting that sometime in late May ‘09 we will be looking at McG and saying, “Hmm… I guess hes not actually that bad.”

The film follows the story of John Connor (Bale) and the war between humanity and the robot uprising. It will take us back to the dystopian, war torn world that James Cameron’s original films showed us oh so briefly. For fans of the Terminator franchise, this is the movie that they’ve wanted to see since Terminator 2 (we’ve all sort of forgotten about that third film). Check the trailer out for yourself below.

Terminator Salvation is in theaters on May 22nd, 2009.

    Looks like what I hoped Transformers would have been & I can only hope the new one is half as good as this loos because this looks AMAZING! I'm about to pull a Cartman & freeze myself for this movie.
  • my mind has officially been blown.
  • Looks really good. Hopefully a lot of the bad rumors about the film are indeed false like has been said, and they're not just lying to cover up a horrible story point, because this movie is making my special parts tingle.
  • Every time I see another trailer for this movie it makes me want to see it more. If they can pull off a successful reload of the franchise with this film then we may actually get the movie we have all wanted since we watched the Human Resistance fighting the machines in the future from the first movie. Don't get me wrong I loved the first movie, but I walked out of the theater saying to myself, "If only they would show us the fight in the future from Reese's point of view."

    I guess I'm one of the few oddballs out there that think Terminator 3 was better than Terminator 2.The main thing T3 has over T2...NO EDWARD FURLONG!
  • Daaaamn! Bryce Dallas Howard is hot as hell!
  • This looks very nice indeed. But what do I know, I not only remember Terminator 3, I actually enjoyed it.

    More like Terminator Salivation. With this and Transformers 2, next year is Year of the Motherfuckin' Robots

    Don B. you obviously have bad taste in movies if you think T3 was better than james camerons T2

    This movie if successful, will be my T3 to me, cause the T3 now does not exist for how much it sucked ass

    Looks like they are reimagining this franchise. Into a Transformer, Robotech mess. The line, "this isn't the future my mother told me about" doesn't make me happy. This really looks like shit.
