Terminator Salvation 魔鬼終結者：未來救贖

Whatever he did to get on death row haunts Marcus in his second life, as does the vague memory that he used to be human. What will likely haunt Bale is the thought that another supporting player has stolen his movie (see: Heath Ledger, "The Dark Knight").

McG employs a scheme bleached of color and informed by ash and grime. The world he presents to us is all plausibly scorched and hostile – Los Angeles, post-Skynet-attack, is particularly affecting. It's there that Marcus finds the L.A. contingent of the rebellion – both of them: the teenage Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin), who is supposed to grow up to be John Connor's father (see what we mean about that time-warp collision course?) and Star (Jadagrace), a mute, charming rebel grrrl with a great sense of timing.

The dark mood of "Terminator Salvation," which is relieved occasionally by the script going completely out to lunch, might have come off as pretentious but instead seems tonally organic and relatively believable. The action is startling and visceral, and adds to a movie that's as believable as it can be when its subjects are besieged humanity, occupational forces, rebel insurgencies, torture, lawlessness and warfare by remote control. Anything resembling real life in "T4" is no doubt a total coincidence.
