The One Man Band: Terminator: Salvation (4x455)

Air date: Apr 27, 2010

It is the year 2018. The machines have taken over...despite the fact that they are about as easily tricked as Home Alone villains. All Americans have found themselves replaced by Australians and the English, who imitate their accents...blandly. And McG is allowed to direct another movie. It is a dark time for humanity. Enter the One Man Band, who, despite Rifftrax beating him to the punch*, has taken on this wonder of movie chicanery. Sam Worthington (playing American Sam Worthington) wakes up to find the world somehow exploded around him. He asks a robot with a machine gun what happened, which in turn leads him to meeting Ensign Chekhov (Anton Yelchin). Sadly, while no one says "Wictor Wictor," he IS informed that there is a resistance fighting against the trigger-happy machines, which would be good news if it wasn't run by the kid from Newsies (Christian Bale). From there, things get awkward, as Sam finds himself getting into fist fights with robots, skipping across ponds, and even getting blown up with landmines. Gee, you'd think there's almost something MYSTERIOUS about him!
