At first back in the late 1980s we got to see big Arnie in one of his greatest roles as the non stop killing machine called the terminator. Later we saw him again but this time as the hero in terminator two, Judgment Day where he saves the day from the new and improved terminator chasing Sarah Connor and her son John. In Terminator 3 there was another twist as big Arnie comes back to play the hero and faces a strong woman terminator with a few tricks up her sleeve. It was around this time that the Sarah Connor chronicles showed up on TV as a series just before the Terminator 4 movie came out. With more action and special effects you might say that the terminator 4 movies is definitely the pick of the bunch unless you are a devoted fan to the Terminator series then you might just pick the original as your all time favorite.

Terminator Salvation is based in the future where the machines have a very strong foothold on the country of America. There are pockets of resistance here and there however these people usually find themselves alone and in trouble. Either dead or as slaves the people of earth end up which is why they need to stop the machines before they are allowed to take over the world. In the new movie you will get to see several other types of terminators like the hunters and destroyers plus the little spies that fly around looking for the last surviving people. Killing these people is usually only the objective of the terminators while a new one is sent out into the wastelands looking like a human and searching for John Connor and his father Reece Kyle. It is this half machine half human terminator who is the last hope for mankind because he is the only one that can walk right through the front doors of the enemy base. Once inside he finds out the truth and is able to help the last of the humans to destroy the terminators building plant. The story works out for the best in the end with all of the heroes except one surviving the hard times in an uncertain world of death and destruction.

Just like all the other terminator movies the forth one is action packed and full of great effects as well as cool stuff blowing up and the bad guys copping hell. Set in the time close to the end of the war when John Conner is a man who has seen many battles and many people die by the machines hand. It is a long way off in the future and suddenly a man appears from nowhere that has one thing on his mind which is to find John.

After the good guys get chased around by the bad robots and some of the goodies get caught by a giant transformer type monster they end up in a prison camp that is for using people first for workers and then for fuel. The heroes escape by the skin of their teeth only to face more problems late once they find the camp with john in it.

Our new hero who was zapped from nothingness like one of the time machines from the first three movies and did not know why he was there however after an accident outside everyone sees that he is a robot, cyborg killer most likely sent to kill the resistance. After escaping again, this time from his own people he manages to change the fate of what is happening around him and saves the others from harm by destroying the robots base.

Terminator 4 is now out on DVD which is one around $20 to watch it as often as you like. Once you have purchased the DVD get your mates over for a Terminator marathon with plenty of snacks and drinks. You will love all of the new machines and bad guys in this latest movie.
