I saw the preview for that while seeing The Dark Knight. Why am I talking about that instead of The Dark Knight? Well, because The Terminator series is just about my favorite series of all-time. If you must know, yes, The Dark Knight was AMAZING, and the character balance in it was simply perfect, and, of course, Heath Ledger's performance was one of legend. I enjoyed it completely and have zero complaints, and I definitely intend to own the movie.
But Terminator 4....I got the chills from the seeing the preview. The fact that the story is FINALLY getting into the actual war of man vs. machine is awesome. If you follow the series and saw Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, then you know that the twist was that Judgement Day and the war could never be stopped; only postponed, and then the world was destroyed in a nuclear holocaust.
Terminator 4 is the continuation of the story and will star Christian Bale as "John Connor", the son of Sarah Connor and supposed savior of humankind, as told by people sent from the future to the past to save him. Terminator: Salvation will finally get into the actual war. THE WAR!!! The thing in which they were trying to stop from happening in the past 3 Terminator movies! The world was destroyed by a nuclear assault which was initiated by a collective A.I. entity that manifested itself within the collection of the worlds computers and their networks. It then spread onto the worlds "smartest computer", known as "Skynet", and then took control of the planets nuclear stockpile ad cyberweapons.
John Connor, his lieutenants, and a small percentage of humankind were able to find shelter and survive the nuclear fallout in multiple government installations. What happens next? Well...I guess we'll find out in Terminator: Salvation. Which you'd all better go see as soon as it comes out.

Looks like it will be more along the lines of the Matrix for special effects. I was hoping that Nick Stahl would reprise his role as John Connor (from T3)... he was cute.

Wow I've been waiting forever for this movie! Ever since I saw the second one waaaay back in the day, I've always thought it would be awesome to see the actual war take place!
I agree 2 was undoubtably the best one, and set the bar high for part 3, which wasn't all that great, but definitely entertaining and worth watching if for nothing else so you know the story for the next one. Nothing beats the awesome liquid metal of the T1000 as a bad guy, are you serious?! Ultimate villian right there, except for maybe Vader.
Might I add, Christian Bale is a perfect selection for John Connor, but damn, I really would have liked it if they cast Edward Furlong instead, he's probably just about the right age anyway, but he's not really that big a name for a movie like this...
Shit, should be fantastic none the less, hopefully James Cameron is in on this one too! I can't wait!

So I saw the trailer at the theater yesterday, and was all, "Hmmm, looks interesting." Then it slapped the Terminator logo on it, then I was all, "Oooh... at least it looks better than the previous ones."
Ha ha, nah nah. I'm just bustin' all o'your balls.
