DVD Review – Terminator Salvation

In 2003 Marcus Wright is a convict on death row sentenced to die by lethal injection. In his final moments he signs his body over to Cyberdyne Systems. In 2004, Judgment Day occurs and the remaining human survivors find themselves at war with Skynet and the machines.
Now in 2018, John Connor is the leader of the human resistance and is attempting to destroy as many Skynet headquarters as possible when he discovers the machines newest design, the T-800, a machine surrounded by a human shell. What Connor fails to see as he is escaping the aftermath of his latest attack on Skynet is the one other man that has managed to escape unharmed, Marcus Wright. Marcus is alive and well but has no memory beyond being on death row. He has no idea what year it is or what has happened. It is not until he meets and befriends Kyle Reese and little Star, members of the Los Angeles branch Resistance that he learns of Judgment Day and the war of man against machine. Tragically, before all of this new information can be digested he is thrown for an even greater loop when he learns that Cyberdyne has turned him into their latest weapon, half man and half machine, the ultimate infiltration and destruction machine and they are using Marcus to get to Connor.
