The UnPopular Opinion: Terminator: Salvation (Video)

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Welcome back to The UnPopular Opinion! The UnPopular Opinion features different takes on films that either I hated, but that the majority of film fans loved or vice versa. We have always hoped this column will promote constructive and geek fueled discussion. Now, with us entering the visual world, you can get pissed off in a whole new medium!

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE was released to critical positivity but the audience just wasn't there. Maybe it was due to the fact that DARK FATE was the second reboot of the franchise and third timeline variation since TERMINATOR 3. Well, much of that misdirection stems from the reception of McG's TERMINATOR: SALVATION. Derided as boring, SALVATION is actually a damn good military action movie and one that should have spawned the planned trilogy that would have taken TERMINATOR from time travel saga to dystopian epic. Check out my reasons why TERMINATOR: SALVATION is so overlooked in the video above.
