The heart wants what the heart wants.
T3 has its moments. I remember thinking “now they’ve set up a future trilogy that Arnold doesn’t have to be in.
We see how well that worked.
I don't remember much of anything about Salvation, other than the fact that it didn't add anything to the plot. Is that true? I don't really want to see it again just to confirm.
It really doesn't, although if they had gone through with the rumored original ending of Connor dying it might have almost redeemed it.
what plot?
"robots from future try to kill John Conner by effing with his parents"?
iIt shows the progression from robot to cyborg, which is kinda neat.
But it's more of a side story to the other movies.
Like a gritty war film set against a larger framework detailing how one person was integral in saving the universe and died in order to do so. Future Wars: Rogue One, if you will.
Yeah, if they had had the balls to go through with that original ending I'd actually argue it's a good movie then.Quote:

That's fine. They can play it safe and I can not give them money. There's a century full of great movies I haven't seen yet and I've barely scratched the surface.
That's how I look at it too.
haha
Robots are going to be so scared of boyish woman with crowbars.
boyish woman is a robot.
That’s a rebar. And it’s the only straight thing in that picture.Quote:

Sigh. It looks EXACTLY like every other Terminator movie ever made. Based on this trailer there is zero reason for this movie to exist other than to cash in on a franchise that has been already been beaten to death and beyond.
This franchise has been dead in the water since 2, and I liked 3.
1 and 2 is all you need. Things were already getting hokey by mid 2
They made a third?Quote:

I'mmmm gggooooiiiinnnngggggg hhhuuuunnnntttttiiinnnngggggg.
I didn't detect any spoilers for major plot points, trailer fail.
Also: David Goyer is the worst. He's a hack that takes other people's cool creations and makes them lame.
I remember liking T3 but I haven't seen it since it came out, I think. I always want these to be good so I'll be optimistic until I can't be. I like Tim Miller as a director and <3 Mackenzie from Halt and Catch Fire.
I was a T3 defender, but last time I watched it the Three Stooges of it got to me. Way too much out of place "humor."
Everything Terminator from here on out is going to suck because they play it safe and retread this and that from 2. Until they hand it to some a lister and let him do what he wants, it wont get better.
I think the problem is that anyone who's not a hack is too busy doing their own cool shit to waste time trying to resuscitate someone else's fubar franchise.
Maybe. I just can't stand Goyer on a personal level. It's like Blade was a fluke. Everything else has been trash.
Who wrote the Hasselhoff Nick Fury? Ya boi Davey G!
I watched T3 a few years ago, I still dig it. That scene Arnold paid for is worth it.
The Terminators were cooler when they didn’t CGI morph into whatever the writer thought would be neat.
The writer doesn't seem to have many ideas here. "His arm is a blade. Ok but his arm can also turn in to that same blade."
New trailer. It looks...not horrible, I guess, but it's just impossible to get excited about a new Terminator film, especially when it's yet another carbon-copy of all the others. Please stop shitting these out.
I'm curious, but not where I want to spend money on it.
Hard no, thanks.
This was shockingly very decent, especially considering how much of a complete re-tread the plot was. Even the chick playing the LGBT-1000 was good.
But if they make another one I really hope they finally go in a completely different direction with the series. The whole "Terminator & protector sent back in time to kill/save future resistance leader" bullshit has been done to death and beyond.
Still, I can finally say I saw a Terminator movie where the T-800 gives drapery advice to people.
Have they made a Terminator game where the T unit is like a buddy or an assist yet? Can I have a pet Arnold yet?
There's a game where you play as a T-800, and it has a one liner button. That's about as close as you'll get.
And Dole's right, it wasn't that bad. There were sone very, VERY heavy handed homages to the other films, and part of the end was straight ripped from T3.
Doke?
*EDIT* Thx for correcting that typo, son.
It was a pretty good action movie, a pretty meh Terminator movie but still better than 3 and Salvation. There were some odd leaps of logic to progress the story but I can ignore that. A lot of the action was very PlayStationy, none of the exoskeletal Terminator scenes really looked as good as T2.
It's officially a flop. It opened at #1 in the U.S. with $29 mil but when a movie costs like $185 mil that's a drop in the bucket.
It's most likely the last Terminator movie we'll ever see...but I'm pretty sure they said that about the last two movies as well, so who knows.
Dark fate indeed.
