Terminator Salvation Review

In the movie Terminator Salvation, the franchise brilliantly focuses on the theme of salvation.

In Terminator Salvation, the terminator, a machine designed to kill eliminate humans, is represented as a savior. Terminators up to this point, with a few exceptions, have been killing machines. It is accepted by Terminator fans that Christian Bale’s character, John Connor, will eventually lead the human race to fight the machines. This is exposed in previous movies through time traveling terminators. The focus of this movie turns to a new, more advance terminator. This terminator, Marcus Wright, is a terminator constructed off a human about to be executed. His character, I believe is the focus of the movie. The Marcus Wright accepts his punishment for unknown crimes and wants to be put to death. His fallen character is personified with being half machine. The salvation of his character voices the fight of humans to be more than machines, to have compassion. (SPOILER ALERT) By the end of this movie Marcus finds his salvation by an act of compassion. He rebels against Skynet, the central program that defines the machines, and after John Connor is injured, gives him his heart.

The human race finds salvation in following John Connor. The decision proposed to surviving humans, is to join an assault on Skynet. At the end of the movie, we find out that the machines pretended to be vulnerable to trap the humans. The leaders of the assault are quickly killed. The humans are faced with the decision to attack or not. John Connor, being aware of surviving humans within the Skynet, tells the humans not to attack Skynet out of compassion. He tells them if we act like machines, without compassion, then what is the point of fighting the war. The majority of the humans in turn back down and the leaders, who continue with the assault, are killed. John Connor steps into his role as the savior of the human race.
