Terminator Salvation (2009)

Not really any reason why this film should have been made except to feature some special effects and make money on a lasting franchise. I expected more with Christian Bale taking the lead, but it really is quite boring.

The Machines still want to kill John Connor (the kid from Terminator 2) who is an adult now in 2018. So the Machines develop another elaborate trap for Connor involving another sophisticated machine. A couple children, being the remainder of the human Resistance in L.A., become central to the story and that doesn't help the movie.

Some cheesy lines, melodramatic scenes, and predictable ending make you wish John Connor would throw in the towel.
