When the resistance has nuclear subs. A-10 warthogs helicopers and all that I cringed. I know they wanted the cool hardware factor.
But I remember the first terminator movie and even the second one and even the third one had Skynet basically crushing the worlds military in one strike. In some of the books there was just nothing left. Mankind was hiding in the ruined cities like rats, except for the ones in the liquidation camps. The resistance wasn't even founded until Conner broke out of one of the camps.
When I watched Salvation, with the sun showing during the day and a coordinated military I was a bit disappointing.

While I agree it was a tad sunny for a post nuclear war world, I think the rest made sense. This movie took place in the early years of the war. The terminators as we know them haven't been made yet by skynet, that's why they could "kill" a terminator with a shot to the head from an AR15. All the aircraft they had must have just been whatever managed to escape the initial strike. And neither side had any sort of energy weapons yet either. I figured all that would come around in the next two movies.
REALLY dissapointed they won't be finishing that trilogy. A set of movies based in the future would have been really cool to see.
