The first teaser trailer for Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins is here. It really is a teaser, so don’t expect a long, slow look at what McG has in store for us with the fourth Terminator movie. We get a few quick flashes of the apocalypse, and a voice over narration by the new John Connor, Christian Bale. What little there is to see however, looks alright. It’s also worth noting that the movie’s awkward, unweidly subtitole “The Future Begins” is nowhere to be found in the trailer. Maybe that means they’ve dropped it. We can only hope.

In Terminator Salvation the future John Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

Here’s the trailer, along with key screenshots:
