Terminator Salvation

9 years from now, machines will be intelligent, will have pretty much destroyed civilization, and will be able to shoot lasers out of their, um, eyeholes. What’s more, they’ll be experimenting with biotechnology, reanimating executed criminals (yet another argument against the death penalty – they’ll be back!) and, ultimately, creating their own fleshy humanoids, modeled on the current governor of California. (Skynet, is based in San Francisco, after all.) Somehow this all seemed a lot more believable in 1985.
