This is one hell of a contest.

Sometimes we’ll have stuff that is cool but not worth a really massive undertaking in order to obtain the prizes and sometimes we’ll have one prize that’s neat surrounded by junk. That is not the case with the phenomenal Terminator Salvation contest you see laid before you.

Just about all of this stuff is not only useful but branded in a way that works as a cool piece of film-themed swag but also on its own. That word of mouth is quite good on this one, and that the trailers thus far have been incredible make me believe this will be the kind of stuff you want to wear, hang, and show off.

To enter, you must use the link below and answer these following questions, INCLUDE YOUR MAILING ADDRESS, and be selected from the correct to be one of our prize winners, including a GRAND PRIZE WINNER, who will receive the amazing $140 Oakley backpack pictured below. Here are your questions:

1. Rank the Terminator films in the order of your most to least favorite and where you think the new one will fit in.

2. Tell me about your first experience with the franchise, whether it be from film, TV, or video game and how it made an impact.

3. Take a look at THE OFFICIAL SITE. What aspect of it do you think is the coolest?.

4. Tell me why CHUD.com is your movie website of choice and which feature (aside from contests) is your favorite.

GOOD LUCK! Now check out these prizes and read the WHOLE article before entering to win!

The year is 2018.

Judgment Day has come and gone, leveling modern civilization.  An army of Terminators roams the post-apocalyptic landscape, killing or collecting humans where they hide in the desolate cities and deserts.  But small groups of survivors have organized into a Resistance, hiding in underground bunkers and striking when they can against an enemy force that vastly outnumbers them.

Controlling the Terminators is the artificial intelligence network Skynet, which became self-aware 14 years earlier and, in the blink of an eye, turned on its creators, unleashing nuclear annihilation on an unsuspecting world.

Only one man saw Judgment Day coming.  One man, whose destiny has always been intertwined with the fate of human existence: John Connor (Christian Bale).

Now the world is on the brink of the future that Connor has been warned about all his life.  But something totally new has shaken his belief that humanity stands a chance of winning this war: the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger from the past whose last memory is of being on death row before awakening in this strange, new world.

Connor must decide whether Marcus can be trusted.  But as Skynet adapts new strategies to end the Resistance forever, Connor and Marcus must find common ground to take a stand against the onslaught—to infiltrate Skynet and meet the enemy head-on.

The Halcyon Company presents a Moritz Borman Production, in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision, a McG Film, “Terminator Salvation.”  McG (“Charlie’s Angels,” “We Are Marshall”) directed the film from a screenplay by John Brancato & Michael Ferris (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”).

“Terminator Salvation” was produced by Moritz Borman, Jeffrey Silver, Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson.  Peter D. Graves, Dan Lin, Jeanne Allgood, Joel B. Michaels, Mario F. Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna served as executive producers.  Chantal Feghali co-produced the film and James Middleton was associate producer.

The film stars Christian Bale (“The Dark Knight”), Sam Worthington (“Avatar”), Anton Yelchin (“Star Trek”), Moon Bloodgood (“What Just Happened”), Bryce Dallas Howard (“Spider-Man 3”), Common (“Wanted”), Jane Alexander (“The Unborn”) and Helena Bonham Carter (“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”).

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes cinematographer Shane Hurlbut (“We Are Marshall”), production designer Martin Laing (“Pearl Harbor”), Oscar®-winning editor Conrad Buff (“Titanic”), costume designer Michael Wilkinson (“Watchmen”), Oscar®-winning visual effects supervisor Charles Gibson (“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest”), and animatronics supervisor John Rosengrant of Stan Winston Studio.  The music is by four-time Oscar®-nominated composer Danny Elfman (“Milk,” “Big Fish,” “Good Will Hunting,” “Men in Black”).

Opening nationwide on May 21, 2009, “Terminator Salvation” is being distributed domestically by Warner Bros. Pictures.  Columbia Pictures is distributing the film in most international territories (excluding South Korea and select Middle East territories).

The film has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and language.
