We have seen the future in “Terminator Salvation,” and the future is noisy.
| TERMINATOR SALVATION |
 Director: McG Cast: Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Moon Bloodgood, Common, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anton Yelchin, Jadagrace Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and language Running time: 114 minutes ((box)) ((Two stars out of four)) |
This fourth flick in the “Terminator” saga takes place in 2018, 14 years after Judgment Day. John Connor is a rising force in the resistance against Skynet, the artificial intelligence network that started thinking for itself and eradicating humanity. He has seen destruction and listened to the recordings left by his mother that foretell his future, but he has yet to send anyone back in time in hopes of stopping it, including the man who will become his father.
