That’s the take from CT movie blogger Peter Chattaway on Terminator Salvation, which opens today:

Regarding Terminator Salvation, director McG told mtv News that he and writer Jonathan Nolan were influenced by the stories of Luke Skywalker, Neo from The Matrix trilogy, and Jesus. Said McG, “Here’s a guy who’s saying, ‘Listen to me, I know what’s going on.’ Some people listen; some people don’t believe a word he’s saying.”

He has an interesting take on the series. Then again, is this (at right) what Jesus would do?

With luck, I’ll be catching up to Star Trek this weekend, so exegesis on the newest Terminator welcome from those who brave the opening weekend crowds.
