is this considered a "Terminator" movie?
i have not seen it.
shareIt is definitely considered a "Terminator" movie, it's right there in the movie's title, but it's part of the continuity that "Terminator Dark Fate" ignores. Salvation is a sequel to "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines".
shareIt’s not a sequel to T3, it’s a prequel. Although really it’s just a reboot disguised as one.
shareSalvation is a sequel to T3. Terminator 3 ends with Judgement Day happening, and John Connor is an older soldier fighting against the machines in Salvation. Salvation takes place a few years after the end of T3.
shareMy point is that Salvation didn’t feel connected to the other films, it felt inconsistent with what was portrayed. The imagery of the future war and the terminator models was like from Transformers mixed with Mad Max. It had none of the cyberpunk aesthetic the other films had. That’s why it was really a soft reboot. Also Christian Bale looked/sounded nothing like Nick Stahl or Edward Furlong. Salvation was a reboot meant to be the start of a new Terminator trilogy, which is what all reboots want to do.
shareWell, I guess that’s just matter of opinion because the way I view it, it is a sequel to rise of the machines; it just takes place a whole lot earlier where both John Connor and Kyle Reese is a lot younger than from what they were portrayed in the year 2029 before Kyle Reese goes back to 1984.
