TERMINATOR SALVATION: PG-13 in the US, but don’t let that fool you

So then. The new Terminator flick has been revealed to have got a PG-13 rating for US screens. This has caused a rather shocked reaction from some people, which I can kind of understand, but wait, it is still going to kick your backsides. The PG-13 rating is now rather more flexible than it has been in the past for a start, plus with the action of Terminator Salvation already being known to feature more robot action than bloody cyborgs, I think it is pretty safe to say that we’re still in for one hell of a Terminator flick.

Look, no matter what it turns out lie, it can’t be worse than Rise of The Machines. The trailers and clips look fantastic, exactly what the Terminator franchise needs to keep itself going and find a new audience without the presence of Schwarzenegger (beyond the rumoured CG mapping of his face onto another actor’s body in a brief scene). Don’t think that this is going to be a kids film.

It is clearly a valid new Terminator story and a very valid entry in the franchise. It may lack the bad language and some gore, but those aren’t really bad losses. WB made the right choice here. It looks like with Terminator Salvation, there will be a lot of humble pie being eaten when McG finally gets to prove himself in such a way. I can’t wait!
