After watching Salvation, I had a couple of gripes with the logic and the issues with the time line. Granted that each incursion to the past produces a new possible future, but after the events of T3, Cyberdyne does not exist and was absorbed by the U.S. military. Why does Serena Korgen have forms belonging to Cyberdyne research?
When Marcus is inside the Skynet complex, and the AI addresses him in the form of Serena, it states that he has managed what no other infiltrator has managed to do: kill John Connor. Isn't that a bit arrogant and premature, considering that Connor only entered the complex? If Marcus is such an advanced model, why continue with the T-800 series and other models? Why not create a whole army of Marcus type terminators to infiltrate the Resistance? How is it that Skynet has future knowledge of itself? Is Skynet of the future using the time displacement equipment to send knowledge of the future to itself? Also, I never understood why the designs have to change from one movie to another. I still think the aerial HK's looked modern and awesome from the 1984 film, and still looked good in T2, why did T3 and Salvation have to change the design? Even the T-1 changed its look from T3!
I did enjoy the way they tried to make it a direct sequel to the first movie by using the "modified" tapes that Sarah left for John. Their use by John in the future made them all the more relevant. The mission that John was on to save Kyle was also an interesting twist that made the line by Kyle in 1984 all the more relevant: "I'd die for John Connor."
