“IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE” – ryan
Arnold Schwarzenegger Names The Worst Terminator Movie, and Reveals the Very Undersandable Reason why it isn’t good. On the Opposite End of the Quality Spectrum Lies the Original Terminatora seminal 1980s sci-fi Classic, and its sequel Terminator 2: JUDGMENT DAYa film often ranked Among the great action movies of all-time.
James Cameron’s Directorial Hand Was Present for Both Those Movies, But Waled Be Absent For All Subsequent Terminator sequels, His Creative Input Only Returning with the Most Recent Sequel Dark Fatefor which he reciped Producer and Story Credit. Schwarzenegger Himself Wouuld Make Appeanance in All Four of the post-JUDGMENT DAY sequels, though in one of me and only makes a cameo via cgi, as he was unavilaable to physically be on the set.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Names Terminator Salvation the Worst Movie in The Series
Its Also the One He Wasn’t Really in
Schwarzenegger SEEMS to have no dubt about which Terminator Movie is the franchise’s Worst. That Same Question May Stir Among Fans, Howver, As Each Francechise Entry AFTER JUDGMENT DAY has its Glaring Flaws. The Most Recent Terminator Film, 2019’s Dark FateTRIED again to pump New Life Into The Fading Series, But Came Away As A Disappointment, Grossing JUST $ 261 Million Worldwide.
Dark Fate Failed to Launch a New Trilogy As Intended, Leaving the franchise’s Future up in the Air.
Schwarzenegger Spared Dark Fate be as asced recently to name the worst Terminator Movie, but did not spare Salvation, WHICH he declared to be the series’ low-point. That film also happens to be one the actor had the least involve in, Because he was too running the state of california at the time (via Watch what happens live with Andy Cohen):
I WOULD SAY THE WORTS WAS PROBABLY THE NUMBER FOUR (Terminator Salvation). Becuses that was done during the time I was governor and i was not in it. How do you make a terminator Movie Without Me Being in the Terminator Movie? IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE.
Our Take on Terminator Salvation Being the Worst Movie in The Series
It was the series’ Riskiest film
The first three Terminator Movies Follow the Same Rough Template Laid Out in the Original Film: A Time-Traveling Cyborg Seeks to Kill the Leader of the Future Rebellion Against the Machines, and Someone Else is Sent Back to Protect That Person. Salvation Wildly deviates from formulaHowver. An origin Story set after the events of the previous three films, the fourth installment depicts rebel leader John Connor (Christian Bale) and His Rag as they will battle with Machines unleashed by a self-verte.

Schwarzenegger MAKES ONLY A BRIEF Appeaance in Salvationvia cgi, as the series attempts a genuine reboot. The Efffort was in vain, howver, as the movie was slammed by critics, Landing a 33% Fresh rating on Rotten tomatoes. Audiences were scarly More enthusiastic, as the film Went on to Gross JUST $ 371 Million Worldwide.
The Absence of Schwarzenegger is Indeed Just One of the Many Things that Make Salvation arguably the series’ nadir. Veering away from the classic formula May have been a bold-on-necessary Move after three movies with the good, but the post-apocalyptic story up Characters or a Compelling World.

A Staggering 40 Years SINCE IT LAUNCHED, The Terminator Franchise Shows No Signs of Slowing Down, but not all terminator Movies and Shows are hits.
Salvation is ultimately littlely more than a Routine post-apocalyptic action movie ie happens to be connected to the Terminator universes. Producers May have thught they could have the series with Schwarzenegger, but the Move Indeed Made no sense, as the Star Himself to Believe.
