Kyle Reese in Terminator Salvation

I watched Terminator Salvation for the first time a few days ago, and my favorite part of it is Kyle Reese.

He's only a teenager in the movie, but the actor (Anton Yelchin) captured the personality and spirit of Kyle Reese in the original Terminator movie. He's resourceful, resilient, compassionate, loyal, and hopeful.

The way he takes care of Star and his instant concern for John's safety mirror how Kyle protected Sarah Connor. He's easily the most relatable character in the movie because he's in the war's crossfire and doing his best to stay alive. But he's not bitter or angry about his situation. He just focuses on survival.
