As the hype continues to build for Terminator Zero, Netflix’ new anime take on the franchise, the streamer has released a new clip that had my jaw on the floor. The new sneak peek follows the release of some gorgeous first-look images and an incredible trailer, and confirms that this might just be the best installment in the Terminator saga since the sequel, which we ranked as the best Terminator movie.
The Terminator franchise has been a mixed bag in the past. Since James Cameron introduced the world to Arnold Schwaznegger’s T-800 in the 1984 classic, only his own 1991 follow-up has received universal acclaim from fans, with Jonathan Mostow turning in a semi-worthwhile third film in 2003 and a trilogy of failed trilogy starters since then. The TV spin-off, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, starring Game of Thrones’ Lena Heady as the titular character, was just finding its stride when it was axed back in 2009. But Terminator Zero looks to overshadow them all with its visually stunning reworking of the saga, transplanting the action to Tokyo without a Connor in sight.
