Will Terminator be the Same Without Arnold?


Movie buffs are obviously taking note that Terminator Salvation, the fourth installment of the series, is just around the corner, and S. James Snyder has written a great feature on MetroMix about the evolution of robots on the big screen.

Beginning with the great silent film, Metropolis, to Robby from Forbidden Planet, and of course, the robots in the first three Terminator films, Snyder describes the continuously evolving nature of futuristic technology.

Cool stuff. I wonder what robots will look like in another 80 years...exactly like us is probably a decent bet.
