    io9's Hivemind Reviews The Terminator 4 Novelization

    Terminator Salvation felt more like a weak music video than a movie, with a story that was hard to piece together. So it's a good thing the novelization is written by super-prolific author Alan Dean Foster, right? Spoilers ahead... More »

    Terminator Is A Hit Everywhere But The US

    Think that Star Trek is the hit of the year? That's only because you're looking at the US grosses. Outside of America, James T. Kirk's ass is being kicked by Christian Bale... and quite a few other people, as well. More »

    Ignore Terminator Salvation's US box office and look to Britain, where it's just had the best opening weekend of 2009 so far... replacing the previous holder of that title, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Why is Britain more accepting of shoddy sci-fi? More »

    Will Transformers 2 Be The Perfect Movie?

    Here's our first look at Alice, the co-ed with a secret, in Transformers 2. After a whole summer of wannabe Michael Bay films, we're finally going to get the work of Bay himself. It'll be ludicrous, fiery, splodey, car-crazy and slapsticky. In short, the perfect film. Spoilers and pics below. More »
