TERMINATOR SALVATION trailer hints towards THE event of the summer!

I'm absolutely in love with this trailer, TERMINATOR SALVATION is far exceeding my low expectations and from the looks of things, when all is said and done, it may well be the event movie of the Summer. terminatorsalvation-302-38 Borrowing an awful lot from Zack Snyder's way of cutting trailers (i.e. heavy action, cool camera swipes, slow mo effects and the use of a cool record to set the mood... this time Nine Inch Nails), the trailer is loud, it's in your face and it's way cool. It also feels a lot like a blending on Michael Bay's TRANSFORMERS and imagery from THE MATRIX and ALIEN in it's band of isolated survivors, the condensed atmosphere, the grey and rag-tag clothing, Sam Worthington's character of Marcus Wright being shown a reality about himself he wasn't previously aware of, just like Neo. Though there has to be more to this Marcus Wright character right... surely no machine can have that many emotions at the timeline this TERMINATOR movie is set to fit in with Jimmy Cameron's continuity? It's not quite the movie I dreamed of when I saw the images of the future in the first two TERMINATOR movies but let me just say I'm pleasantly surprised at this point. The trailer gives me hope that I'm right to once again bank on Warner Bros. delivering the best of the Summer blockbusters.
