Gunpowder Milkshake
dir. Navot Papushado (2021)
If the world is going to have more John Wick–type films, it might as well be with female protagonists (notably Lena Headey recapturing her Terminator days). Lots of stylised violence and computer-game reminiscent neon-sign facial acting proclaiming ’emotional depth this way’.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Season 1
created by Josh Friedman (2008)
Although cut short by the writers guild strike of 2007-2008, season one of The Sarah Connor Chronicles tackled Terminator with a truth lacking in most of the feature films. Starring Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker and Summer Glau, with music by Bear McCreary.
