10 Movie Flops That Will Become Cult Classics

Salvation is unique among Terminator sequels: it has no use for humour, time travel paradoxes or any cast member from the previous films (using Linda Hamilton’s voice and digitally mapping Arnie’s face onto another actor’s body don’t count).

That may explain why it was the first Terminator to miss the #1 spot at the box office and with takings of $371 million the lowest grossing entry in the series (even Genisys made more money). But there’s a terrific cast headed by Christian Bale, the first Oscar winner to play John Connor (and more intense than any of his predecessors), and the movie’s action scenes reward a second viewing.

Special mention has to be made of the attack by the Harvester Terminator, which simply put is one of the most accomplished moments in any recent action movie. Buildings are demolished, Moto-Terminators are employed, dragged for several miles and hurled into the air, then once the HK-Aerials get in on the action, bridges are destroyed before Resistance planes engage them in a dogfight.
