I have seen fragments of the Terminator series, but other than that, I've not really followed her carrer. But I love her from Firefly and Serenity and was curious to know if there is movie worth watching that she did post-Serenity.

Knights of Badassadom is awesome She plays a Renaissance Cosplayer. the film also stars Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones and X-men
shareI'd recommend watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles from the beginning to the end. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than the movies. Summer Glau was excellent.
Too bad it was canceled.
I agree. Summer has said her favorite role was Cameron in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
shareWell, she was hot in everything. But she was really good in Terminator.

Terminator series, it is then!
Too bad though, that she did not do as many movies as one would expect. She was bad-ass in Serenity with those fight scenes.
I saw her in Arrow, but the way they handled her character, it was like they did not really make full use of her talents.

She is terrific in T:TSCC. As a robot who is slowly learning to become more human, she can make you love her / feel sorry for her one minute, be disturbed / scared by her the next. You never know what she's going to do next.
shareWithout a doubt her portrayal of Cameron in TSCC is stunningly good. It's as good as Arnie's terminator albeit deeper and wider as Cameron has to fake emotion, and Glau is able to suggest that her emotion is not simply faked but actually as real as a machine can experience it.
The best example of this is the episode Allison from Palmdale, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1245336/, in which we learn the origins of Cameron. The poignancy with which Glau handles her role is quite lovely despite the tragedy of the outcome.
Terminator is redolent of borrowed time, of living in an already-destroyed place, and especially of the imminent future as being a force to be reckoned with and not just some vague abstraction. Glau does very well showing Allison as a metaphor for that. Unfortunately, the reboots of Salvation and Genisys have forgotten that central idea which even the somewhat-maligned T3 understood. Glau as Cameron remains true to the original metal heart and digital soul of Terminator.
That wasn't Renaissance cosplay, that was LARPing.
