Terminator Salvation (2009)

Look for the 2009 US campaign trailer built around Nine Inch Nails' The Day the World Went Away, rather than the earlier teaser. The industrial pulse and battered future-war machinery give the images a forceful shared identity. The film's competing attention to John Connor, Marcus and rescue logistics is less cleanly shaped. The preview also gives away a major character revelation, making it an instructive case where the editing can impress even as the amount revealed invites argument.
