Terminator Zero Creator Defends Critically-Hated Terminator Sequel, Salvation

As a long-time aficionado of the Terminator franchise, I find myself in a peculiar position when it comes to the often maligned installments in this beloved sci-fi series. And, oh boy, have there been some doozies! However, I must admit that I’ve developed a soft spot for one such movie: Terminator Salvation.


Mattson Tomlin, the mastermind behind Netflix’s highly praised “Terminator” anime series, has defended one of the most criticized movies in the popular science-fiction franchise, “Terminator Salvation.” During an interview with Discussing Film, Tomlin openly admitted that his favorite “Terminator” movie is the 1984 original. He further expressed his fondness for “Terminator Salvation,” stating that it continues to amaze his filmmaker mind and leaves him puzzled by asking, “How did they manage that?”

“I have a deep affection for Salvation. I believe critics may have been too harsh towards this film. When you consider its action scenes, gunfire, and explosions, it’s quite impressive. It’s rare to find a Terminator movie where the skeleton seems so weighty that it leaves me questioning, ‘How is this possible?’ As a filmmaker myself, I understand many of the cinematic tricks. Yet, when watching Salvation, I’m consistently amazed by its special effects and techniques, wondering, ‘What’s the secret behind these stunning visuals? What makes this movie so unique?'”

It seems like you’ve provided a list of common movie tags used in IMDb (International Movie DataBase). These tags are used to describe various aspects of a film, such as its genre, directors, actors, and cinematographers.

It seems that in the movie, Tom Hanks subtly finds much to enjoy, even as the story depicts both the literal and the metaphorical weight of the characters and the conflicts they bear. This might be a lesson for us all. Even in films with major flaws, there is always something to appreciate.
