Love that this trailer is mostly long shots (well, for a trailer, anyway) and the cuts don’t get crazy until the music does near the end.
On another Terminator note, I find the bare metal skulls kind of terrifying. The end of whichever trailer it is where the face comes up out of the L.A.-landscape? Just no.
In the face of certain death. (Can’t wait.)
Terminator Salvation (2nd trailer)
Item the first: I don’t remember having purposefully watched the original Terminator (T2, yes; but I was 13, give me a break), but it seems like a good idea to watch only that ahead of Salvation. (Not least because DFW’s “F/X Porn” is pretty convincing.)
Item the second: the 10 seconds from 1:19-:28 are intense. Devastating might be overstating it, it’s just a trailer, but still. That moment of confrontation with the proof that you aren’t what you believe you are…ouch.
