And Skynet not only targeted Connor, but also tried to capture Kyle Reese in order to lure Connor to Skynet and kill Kyle before his future trip back through time. Instead, the organization seemed determined to kill him after he had become a minor Resistance leader. Another interesting thing about the story is that the aim of Skynet was not to kill John Connor before he could join the Resistance.
Instead, Skynet used a cyborg to form a close tie with Connor in order to arrange for his death at Skynet headquarters. And ”TERMINATOR SALVATION” revealed an interesting twist to the narratives of the second and third films.
#TERMINATOR SALVATION 2009 MOVIE#
For once, Arnold Schwarzenegger did not appear in the movie as a major character. Brancato and Ferris’ screenplay for this fourth installment proved to be quite different from the other five films in which no one character had traveled back in time to protect a member of the Connor family or anyone else linked to the Resistance leadership. Despite my complaints, I discovered that I liked the movie. I feel that it could have been better paced. I feel that director McG or screenwriters John Brancato and Michael Ferris had rushed it a bit. I like it a hell of a lot more than the original ending. If that had been the ending shown in the movie theaters, I would have been tempted to throw my shoe at the movie screen. First of all, I thank God for the person who had leaked the original ending, because I hate it.
But when the ending was leaked on the Internet, the screenwriters created a new ending.
#TERMINATOR SALVATION 2009 SKIN#
Many moviegoers had complained that the filmmakers did not stick with the original ending, which called for John Connor to die and for his command to have his skin grafted upon Marcus Wright’s body in order to continue the Resistance. However, I am still slightly uneasy about it. I had posted this complaint on one of the movie’s blogs and was told that it was possible that fifteen years of fighting machines may have eroded John’s memories. Instead, the only thing he had remembered during his first meeting with Marcus Wright was that the latter reminded him of the cyborg who tried to kill his mother Sarah Connor in 1984. Another problem I had centered around John Connor’s inability to remember that two previous T-800 Terminators had saved his life in the past. Aside from a few lines in the movie, she barely said a word. Quite frankly, I found Jane Alexander’s presence in the film as another Resistance leader named Virginia to be too short and a complete waste of time. The editing style created by Christopher Rouse for the "BOURNE" movies directed by Paul Greengrass has become very popular in the movie industry. In fact, I have been complaining about a lot of editing in movies for over 15 years. Another problem I had with the movie was Conrad Buff’s editing. Perhaps McG was a director incapable of handling those with little acting experience. Which I found surprising, considering how impressed I had been by his performances in movies like First of all, singer-turned-actor Common seemed incapable of delivering a decent performance in this film. How do I feel about ”TERMINATOR SALVATION”? Well. The movie not only revealed how John Connor first met his father – the teenaged and future time traveler, Kyle Reese it also focused on a death row inmate named Marcus Wright, who had signed over his body to Cyberdyne Systems over a decade earlier and ended up being used as a prototype by Skynet (Cyberdyne Systems) for the T-800 Model 101 Terminator and as a tool to capture and kill Connor.Īs far as I know, the movie had received mixed reviews from both the critics and moviegoers. For the first time, a movie in the ”TERMINATOR” franchise did not feature the time travel of one or two of its characters. Or being intrigued by them – including this latest film.ĭirected by McG, ”TERMINATOR SALVATION” told the struggles of Resistance leader John Connor during the war between humanity and Skynet – the artificial intelligence system that became self aware and revolted against its human creators – in the year 2018, which was three years ago. Yet, every time I have seen any of these films, I end up enjoying them. again, I had to be dragged to the theater. And as for the fourth installment in the franchise, "TERMINATOR SALVATION". I had to be dragged to the theater to see "TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES". Not that I really cared, since I never did make the effort to go see either movie. I never saw "THE TERMINATOR" or "TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY" in the theaters. For some particular reason, I have never been in the habit of anticipating a movie from the "TERMINATOR" franchise.
