Seen on: May 21, 2009

The players: Director: McG, Writers:Anthony E. Zuiker, John Brancato, Michael Ferris, Cast: Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Moon Bloodgood, Common

Facts of interest: McG also directed "Charlie's Angels," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "We Are Marshall."

The plot: John Connor (Christian Bale) leads the human resistance through the battle against the machines after Skynet has destroyed most of the world.

Our thoughts: Sure, McG’s “Terminator Salvation” is not as good as I expected, and it’s by far not as awesome as the new “Star Trek,” but I also admit I don’t really feel all the bad press the film’s been facing. I agree the fourth installment in the popular “Terminator” series has its problems, but to be honest, I found it quite entertaining.

J.J. Abrams’ reboot of “Star Trek” won’t hit theaters until May 8, 2009, but that’s no reason for Paramount not to kick off an early marketing campaign. TrekMovie recently caught a glimpse at four new character posters from the upcoming sci-fi action flick, and you can check out all of them below.

The new posters feature John Cho as Sulu, Simon Pegg as Scotty, Anton Yelchin as Chekov and Karl Urban as McCoy. I’ve never been a gigantic “Star Trek” fans, but I do have to admit I am looking forward to this new take on one of the most popular sci-fi franchises ever. Also starring are Chris Pine, Eric Bana, Winona Ryder, Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto.
