The Blot loves The Terminator. Yes, the franchise has made some weird decisions over the years between countless random continuity changes, bad casting decisions and at least three diverging timelines and yet I’m still hooked. You see, for every bad decision Warner Bros. makes there are countless good ones. I love the television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I actually enjoyed Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and I think casting Batman Christian Bale as John Connor was ingenious. Tying Bale down with a three picture deal was also a nice touch.
In fact, the only downside to the upcoming film Terminator Salvation may be that it’s directed by McG. Now why you’d put the reboot of one of your most trusted franchises in the hands of McG is beyond me. If this just turns into a glorified music video I’m going to be ticked. This movie better be good McG, that’s all I’m saying!
Terminator Salvation premieres in theaters on May 22, 2009.
