The teaser for Terminator Salvation wasn't supposed to be seen until Friday, where it would play in front of screenings of The Dark Knight, but maybe somebody out there realized that people would be so pumped to see the Watchmen trailer that nobody would be able to muster any excitement for another Terminator film.

So without further ado, here it is.

You can also watch it in HD at Yahoo! Movies.

I have to say, even though this is an incredibly brief trailer that only shows about 4 cool blink-and-you'll-miss-it shots, the overall visual style on display here is far superior than anything I originally expected to see from a director like McG (Charlie's Angels). I also love the way the static sound effects transition nicely into the classic Terminator theme.

I'm not gonna say I'm sold on the film just yet, but with Christian Bale playing John Connor and the release of this slick teaser, I'm certainly warming up to it.
