Well, what do we think?

Latest trailer

Personally, I'm giving this a tentative "FUCK YEAH!".

But then I've always had a hard-on for apocalyptic shit.

 

Looks like it could be interesting, but if it turns out to be just another random action movie like they did with Quantem of Solace ... meh.. High chances of this. :/

$50 says they don't even explain why dude doesnt know what year it is, or why the war still happens.

 

Because Judgement Day is inevitable.

 

I'm still trying to figure out why they keep popping out these movies. It's getting a little annoying.

 

I still think they should have ended it with the second one, or at least went a different direction with number three.

But... who knows. I'll have to wait and see.

 

I think I just leaked some clear fluid in my pants. Good God that looks fucking awesome.

The second thing - How cool must it be to be Christian Bale? He gets to play Patrick Bateman, Batman, and John Connor.

 

I agree. As sweet as TS looks, and Bale pretty much owns in Batman, there is nothing quite like Patrick Bateman. One of my favorite movie scenes ever is comparing business cards. Dear lord, it has a watermark. The ATM tells him to feed it a stray cat, come on! The book discusses at length the superiority of Huey Lewis and the News and their statements about the joy of conformity.

That said, I greatly look forward to Salvation, even if it 2 hours of Bale running around shooting robots with an AR15. At least, the CG will probly kick ass

 

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this article but it seems like Bale may not see much screen time in this movie.

I just hope to god they nixed that fucked up ending that was leaked. John Conner can't be made into a fucking Robot.

They're already fucking up by having the Terminator 800 series ready too early, but you kinda have to have them in the movie I guess. They're not as refined as Arnie yet though.

The guy doesn't know what year it is because.. well, you can figure it out if you're following the movie at all. The robo bikes are cheap, the big ass walker you can barely see if pretty sweet though. Hope they dont screw it up.

 

What I have been waiting for. Movie on the actual terminator wars should be epic and satiate my terminator awesomeness cravings.

 

OMG!! Did anyone else hear christian bales long ass rant against the camera man? He makes short work of the poor guy.LOL.A- This should have its own thread no matter how old it is.B- Did anyone hear the remixes and McG bending over for Bale. Mucho lulz

 

Has anybody else seen Terminator Salvation?

I liked the movie, a lot. Sure, it had its faults, but I was willing not to nitpick for the sake of entertainment. Bale absolutely nailed John Connor. Sam Worthington (Marcus Wright) was stellar in his performance. The guy went toe to toe in terms of intensity with Bale, which is quite a feat. Anton Yechin was good too. He was on the verge of annoying in Star Trek, but he played his part well with the icy stares and all.

 

I don't understand why critics hated it so much, but I enjoyed it. The movie had some wtf moments (cough heart cough), but overall it was enjoyable. I thought the greatest flaw was Christian Bale as John Connor. People lately think Christian Bale is the end all be all actor, but I don't think he was appropriate for the role, and I thought he was overshadowed by Sam Worthington's character. I honestly couldn't give a shit what happened to John, I cared more for Marcus, Kyle Reese, and that hot semi-asian chick.

 

It's always the hot semi-asian chick

 

Was that really Schwarzenegger, or just a look-a-like?

Edit: Nevermind. I looked it up on IMDB. Wasn't him.
Looked like him, though.

 

thought they were digitally imposing his face over another bodybuilder's ?

 

Arnie also did the voice over didn't he?

 

This^^^

McG went over to CA to digitally impose Arnold's mug on a body. In my opinion, that was a pretty good cameo.

 

I just got back from it.

I'm as surprised as a lot of you. I read some of the other reviews and I was worried this movie was going to be worse than T3 but I was pleasantly surprised.

This was up there. maybe even comparable with Star trek.
The only thing I would really change about this movie is make bale and the guy playing marcus switch roles.

I too am starting to get sick of seeing bale everywhere. It has nothing to do with his rant thing. it has to do with me seeing him and thinking batman.

I actually leaned forward when digi arnold came on screen. it was the best of both worlds. You keep the cannon and get the original terminator, but you loose the governator.

Actually a topic came up when we finished the movie.

I asked my friends if kyle reese had never sexed up sarah, or even came back in time. Would there have ever been a skynet.

my reasoning, Sky net was built by cyberdine based off the remains of the first terminator. [T2 based cannon]

So if kyle never had the sexy time wiht momma connor, john wouldn't have been born, no terminator would ever get sent back in time to kill him around the location of skynet. Hence they would never have terminator parts to play with, and never be able to do the ground breaking research with the chip and arm.

Hence Skynet would never exist.

if you think about it, we don't know what a future without time travel would be like in the terminator universe. For that to be possible john connor can not exist simply because kyle reese would not be aroudn to father him yet.

I'm wondering if they'll ever ask those kind of questions, or if they'll ever address the issue.

any opinions?

 

There are multiple timelines in the T Series.

The timeline in which T1 terminators came from, they went into a different one in which T1 takes place. Then it creates the one in which T2 terminators come from to create one in which T2 is based.

Then we have a divergence in T3 another two and TSCC another 8 or something. And then T:S which is another two I believe.
