On three different occasions in the 21st century, someone has tried to get the
Terminator franchise back up and rolling again, despite the entire saga coming to a pretty clear conclusion with
Terminator 2: Judgement Day. And on each of these occasions, the resulting films have produced zero sequels and had steadily declining domestic box office results. In the middle of the two most wretched entries in this saga (
Rise Of The Machines and
Genisys) is
Terminator: Salvation, a McG directed effort that brought Christian Bale aboard the franchise as John Connor and surprisingly comes out as the best post-
T2 movie in the franchise, though don't take that as a glowing endorsement.
