They lost me at a grey haired Arnie headbutting a helicopter.

 

I'll still see it though :laugh:

 

 

 

you need to remember  that  That the Terminator  has living tissue over an exoskeleton  so based  on this film it ages as a human would .

 

 

Look  Skynet send  back a terminator to kill johns mother   and so  John accepts  Kyles   volunteering to go back and save her well  he sends him back  but  Nothing changes  john still remebers everything   so he then  sends back   reprogrammed   T Model 800   to  protect and Train a child Sahra Conner   and by the time Kyle   makes it to 1984 assuming that is the  year   in the new film  the Timeline has altered  and Changed

essentially John was trying to reboot himself by re-educating his own mother.

Oh, i understand that. It was more of the fact he jumped out of a helicopter to headbutt another helicopter.

The grey hair just looked silly.

It concerns me that they've gone to a lot of effort to stomp all over a lot of the same territory that the old (good) films already covered. The fact that everyone has been recast also irks me. It looks like a Terminator film crossed with a teen coming-of-age movie. Hopefully I'll be wrong, but I'm worried now. Arnold should have stayed out of this one :/.

Graphically though it looked very impressive.

Yeah it definitely won't be as good as T1 and T2 but I will still probably enjoy it for what it is... a bit like robocop 1 and the reboot, robocop 1 is one of my all time favourite films but.... I also loved the new robocop for its own reasons.

 

Heck, it can't be any worse than T3!!!! :p

Eh, T3 was a fine action movie though a fairly mediocre Terminator movie. It's certainly better than 4 was. That 15 minute long (give or take a few minutes lol) car chase with the TX controlling those cars remotely and Arnold chasing in a bike then a firetruck - was worth the price of admission alone. Epic chase scene. Almost on par with the car chase in Matrix 2.

Ugh why can't they leave Terminator alone. Don't get me wrong it'll be good to have arnie 'back' for one last time but they're grinding these movies into the ground :(

If the reboot follows the story of the originals, then I'm not interested in seeing the same 1984 movie with todays actors. I'd rather see a different take on the 1984 movie.

That's so wrong and yet says it so correctly.  I was thinking the exact same thing.

So you agree with me  :laugh:

 

 

Off topic and sorta on topic, 

 

Can anyone tell why, why the heck doesn't skynet just send a bazillion killer machines and end it? why send one by one?

hopefully this will be the last one, if not someone needs to do a Format c: /u - a low level format, or pull the plug and make sure it has no UPS, cus seriously this ###### is getting old, trailer makes it look watch able, but I doubt I would drop the sort of cash that is required at a cinema now a days

 

If I read and heard the trailer right they are maybe gonna stop Judgement day all together so yeah it very well could and prob is the last one.

bazillion machines does not equal a trilogy! Once the machines actually take over, they'll add your comment to their code and do just that. You'll live forever as the architect of mankinds demise. Kudos to you sir!

 

On Topic: The trailer looked interesting (http://youtu.be/62E4FJTwSuc), but... I think I could have done with the line.

Yup in terms of action, T3 was very good but everything else about it was bad imo

 

- the guy playing john connor was awful, just came across as a weakling and his future wife/GF was terrible too

- the humour i.e. the sunglasses and talk to the hand sort of things had no place in a terminator film

 

Personally I loved T4! :p Although I was hoping for more of the future like we seen in T1, T2 and T3 flashbacks :(

I think what irks me is this whole pseudo "darkness" they try to portray in a brightly coloured, glossy movie.

 

The thing with T1 and T2 was the chilling impending doom that cloaked everything. This is what was lacking from T3 and T4 (even though i liked it) didn;t paint the fall of humanity to the machines to be quite as grim as T1/T2 made us imagine it to be. One of those examples of leaving something for the imagination to terrify you with.
