A man frantically searches for a teenage boy amongst the human barrage of hysterical hostages plowing each other down after their recent release from sure death. He points his weapon, ready to shoot the enemy, desperate to find the boy. "Kyle Reese!” he yells above the deafening sounds of their screams. He makes his way through the ensuing sea of flesh, his eyes dart back and forth scanning them as they shove past him hoping for any recognition. He has but one mission; survival. Not only of his own, but the whole human race. One man holds the key, his father, Kyle Reese.
Terminator Salvation, directed by McG, is the fourth installment to the Terminator series. It takes us to the future, a world where we have only caught glimpses of in the previous three films. The film begins in the past and introduces a new character to the story, a death row inmate named Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington). He signs his body over to Skynet for research. After he "dies" from lethal injection, he resurrects in the future, but not entirely human or machine. Searching for answers, he encounters a teenage boy, Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) in the carnage of what used to be Los Angeles. Together they travel to join the resistance and John Connor. Christian Bale plays a mature John Connor who is fueled by his mother's taped voice about what is to occur, and what he is destined to do. He must find his father, Kyle Reese, before the machines do. He must save him in order to save himself and the whole human race.
Beneath the sound of machine grating destruction and boom deafening vibrations, screenwriters John Brancato and Michael Ferris explore the underlying hope of human survival. The human drive to survive is a constant theme in Terminator Salvation. Humans build machines for survival, but its salvation from annihilation depends on the human heart. A heart that half human, half machine, Marcus Wright still possessed. That hope of survival lies in the belief that we can change our destiny. The movie leaves us with the premise, “There is no fate but the one we make.” Doesn’t everyone deserve a second chance?
