The Terminator Salvation trailer came out this week. Certainly a thrilling trailer with its gritty imagery punctuated at perfect points by the rock soundtrack. It looks to be the action movie it aims to be. However, are they really going to tackle this thing about a Terminator who doesn't know it's a machine; essentially similar to Replicants in Blade Runner? Considering the mythology already established (and this is assuming the filmmakers are), how does "thinking T-XXX" fit into the canon? I question whether this is the proper theme to explore when there is the much more interesting concept of John Conner and Kyle Reese becoming great friends and great fighters. After all, this is essentially the only time John Conner will ever get to spend with his father. And it's easier to come to an ending that way since there is something already previously established. Where does Terminator Salvation intend to end up? I hope it won't be "sequel in a box."
