The fourth installment of the Terminator series follows an adult John Connor (played by Christian Bale) as he attempts to organize a human resistance force which could prove to be mankind's last true hope in the war against the machines. Opening in the year 2018, Terminator Salvation finds John Connor's certainty about the future shaken by the sudden appearance of a mysterious stranger named Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), whose last memory is of sitting on death row and awaiting execution. Unable to determine whether Marcus was sent from the future or rescued from the past, Connor begins to wonder whether there is still any hope left for the human race as the robots grow more powerful and aggressive than ever before. It appears that Skynet is preparing a devastating final attack designed to eliminate the human resistance once and for all, leaving Connor and Marcus with no choice but to strike back at the cybernetic heart of Skynet's operations. Once there, the two battle-scarred soldiers discover a devastating secret regarding the potential annihilation of all humankind. Anton Yelchin fills Michael Biehn's shoes as a young Kyle Reese in the first installment of a planned Terminator trilogy from director McG (Charlie's Angels).

Re: Terminator Salvation
I can't be the only person who has been to see this film! I went this morning, using the last of my free Renault tickets. I'm just going to have to win some more, aren't I?
I have seen the previous Terminator movies, with Arnie in them, but I've watched them all on TV. I wasn't really sure what to expect, or whether I would enjoy it, but I found myself getting engrossed in it. Although a very violent film, there was little in the way of blood and gore, and perhaps that's why it has a 12 classification. Also, there was no profanity at all, which is a blessed relief, when so many films have foul language written into virtually every line of dialogue. There is a place for foul language, but not in every film!
Christian Bale has had mixed reviews in this film, but he did a fine job, as did Sam Worthington, the Australian actor whom I have only just come across. I will watch out for this young man in future films.
The film is the 4th in the Terminator series, and I expect there will be others. Has Christian Bale signed up for any more?
Also, like a great many of these modern action films, there will be an X-Box or Playstation Game out anytime soon - if not already. (I don't have these consoles at home, but we now have a Wii).
7/10 from me
