Directed by (known for Charlie's Angels ), Terminator Salvation was a gamble from the start. For the first time in the franchise, Arnold Schwarzenegger did not star as the iconic Terminator. Instead of time travel, the film delved into military science fiction , utilizing grayscale color palettes and practical effects on a massive scale. Filming took place primarily in New Mexico, which stood in for the decimated ruins of Los Angeles and San Francisco, spanning 77 days. The budget ballooned to $200 million , largely to design new machines like the towering "Harvester" and the amphibious "Hydrobot". terminator salvation sub indo
