Terminator: Salvation

May is creeping closer and closer and we all know what happens in May, apart from birds nesting etc., the Future Starts! With the start of a whole new Terminator trilogy! Starring Christian Bale, the flic is set in the none too distant, but eerily post apocalyptic future. The only thing standing between mandkind and total annihilation by big scary robots is, once again, poor John Connor.

I must say that, when I watch Terminator:SCC I often get the same feeling I got when watching Frodo and Sam plodding through endless mountains on The Two Towers: poor lambs, they still have the entire Return of the king to go before they get to *&^%$ Mordor!

Young John is already having such a hard time of it when he should be chasing girls and hating his mum like a proper teen. As if being a teenager isn’t bad enough, he has to fight killer robots and figure out the future from his basement wall. And take orders from his mum, which must sting just a little.

Anyway, in Salvation he’s all grown up and Christian Bale, which must be good news. I always hope Kate Winslet will play me in the movie, John must be well chuffed that the Dark Knight himself is taking on the role! On second thoughts, I’d like him to play me as well.

Fans have been so thrilled about Bale signing on and the glimpses of trailers that producers decided not to wait til next summer to see how well Salvation will do: they already signed Bale on to do all three! Director McG is rumored to stick around for all three as well.

Terminator 2 or rather 4, (this is going to be one of those confusing series like Star Wars, where part 2 is actually part 5. I hate it when that happens!) is scheduled for summer 2011. I’ll just go and set my popcorn timer.
