![]() While the original ending would surely have been a major risk and doubtlessly would have left moviegoers in a state of unmitigated shock, it would also have set the series up for a bright future with endless new possibilities. Or did it? While Terminator Salvation may end with John Connor preparing to lead the human resistance after mankind achieves its first real victory against Skynet, the movie was initially intended to end on a drastically different and much darker note. RELATED: Terminator 2: John Connor's Wife Was In Judgment Day While the movie, which saw an at-best mixed reception, has been criticized on a number of levels, the consensus seemingly comes down to the fact that, despite taking the series into a setting that had only been teased in the previous films, Salvation added very little new material to the Terminator franchise ( a sentiment echoed by series creator James Cameron.) Salvation would also be the first installment of the series to be released with a PG-13 rating, though that would hardly be one of its major shortcomings. It was a brave new world only fleetingly glimpsed in the prior three films, and one that the Terminator series was finally in a position to fully explore. Following on the arrival of Judgment Day in 2003's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, 2009's fourth chapter in the Terminator saga would be the first in the series to take a deep dive into mankind's future battle against Skynet.
