"Terminator Salvation" is a science fiction action film directed by McG. It's the fourth installment of the Terminator film series. It tells the story of the war against machine that have started in 2018.
Cast
- Christian Bale as John Connor
- Sam Worthington as Marcus Wright
- Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese
- Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams
- Bryce Dallas Howard as Kate Connor

- Michael Ironside as General Ashdown
- Roland Kickinger as The Terminator / T-800 (Model 101)
- Jadagrace Berry as Star
- Terry Crews as Captain Jericho
- Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor
First two parts are classic and the Terminator isn't the Terminator without Arnold Schwarzenegger - that are facts. But if I shut my eyes to it I may say that the fourth installment isn't very bad. Good visual effects and music can make any action film exciting to just have fun.
As for acting, there's nothing outstanding but such performances as Christian Bale's John Connor, Sam Worthington's Marcus, Anton Yelchin's Kyle Reese, Moon Bloodgood's Blair Williams, Bryce Dallas Howard's Kate Connor seems quite fine.

Kate Connor: It has a hybrid nervous system. One human cortex, one machine.
Marcus Wright: Blair, what have they done?
John Connor: Who built you?
Marcus Wright: My name is Marcus Wright.
John Connor: You think you're human?
Marcus Wright: I am human.

Marcus Wright: What happened here?
Kyle Reese: Judgment Day happened.

* * *
Kate Connor: What should I tell your men when they find out you're gone?John Connor: I'll be back.
* * *
