Review: Terminator Salvation

Terminator franchise can not be salvaged
By PETER KEOUGH  |  May 21, 2009
2.0 2.0 Stars

As the other tagline from the movie goes, everyone deserves a second chance. Indeed, the resurrected relics from the original Terminator get the biggest response in this rehash, such as old props like the big-ass tow truck and the motorcycles and lines like “Come with me if you want to live” and “I’ll be back.”

And back they’ll be — I don’t think I’m giving anything away when I reveal that in the end someone says the battle has just begun, or that there are enough loose ends (why is Bryce Dallas Howard pregnant? what was Marcus’s crime? and what’s the deal with Helena Bonham Carter?) to launch infinite sequels if not another, profoundly uninteresting TV series. The sad thing is none of this will surpass in significance or entertainment value the YouTube remix videos of Christian Bale’s rant.
