Terminator Salvation: WHEN DOES THIS TAKE PLACE?

Ok so I checked out the Movie and it was pretty decent. My BIGGEST Gripe about it though...the WHT Hell Moment...AT what point is this all hapenning? As said by John Connor in the Movie: "This isn't the future my Mother warned me about"

Sooooo...the events from Terminator 1-3 still count....I got that part....but WHY THE HELL is Kyle Reese a Teen? If Kyle Reese went back in the first Movie to make sure John is born, and in Terminator 2, Sarah Connor, the T-800 and A Teen John stopped SYKNET, AND in Terminator 3 the freakin explosion they tried to stop STILL happened...How the Hell do we have a future where Kyle Reese is a teen?

I mean I get it, I get that since they Failed in the Third movie, everything they tried to prevent still happened. I get it because I Followed the first 3 Movies. But the story could have been cleaner from a Statnd Point of someone who may be just joining. Not too much, maybe just a brief Text saying "this is what happened in the other Movies". Maybe even a brief Explaination by John. I see that they want to start fresh, but can you really do that if the other Movies count can you? Good Job. Is it a Opening Weekend Movie...no, Definately Not Star Trek.....I will write about how much I lked that movie and I am not and never was a "Trekie" later. But it's worth checking out in the Beginning of the Summer Blockbuster Season. Wolverine and star Trek were wins. Terminator is just a appitizer till Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. But the Real Treat Starts Next summer where Marvel starts to setup the OH SO NICE setup to the AVENGERS MOVIE! Starting with Thor. Well that's it for now. Fell free to drop a Comment. Holla!
