For those that watch the TV Show, it is now considered a different timeline because of them going 7 years into the future. So there are two timelines, the next movies and the TV shows.

Eh. I'm liking where the Fox show went whereas Terminator 3 was pretty bad so I'm hoping more for the show to succeed.

That looks pretty freakin' awesome! I liked the movies too much to watch the show - I hate spin-offs.

For those of you who may be interested, there has been some recent footage that has leaked and apparently on Tuesday the official trailer will be released....
Entertainment Tonight had some clips... YouTube - Terminator Salvation on ET

Terminator Salvation Japanese Trailer - Trailer Addict
Looks pretty good, I think it will be on Entertainment Tonight during the show but here is the Japanese Trailer. It will be the same one.

So apparently there's a big twist at the end of T4 (just got this off a gossip website, not sure how reliable it is actually or what their source was or how widely known this is)

Thats an old rumor which the makers of the film are denying. There is a "twist" which the trailer pretty much spells out even though reporters who were on set were asked not to talk about it.

I think that ending was proven as a false rumor in a way. That was the original script but I think McG and others had changed it before it started filming.

The new trailer I saw before Watchmen is so bad ass. I can't wait to see this movie! Great use of the Nine Inch Nails song.

I thought Terminator 3 was totally fine... I didn't think it either enhanced or reduced the legacy of the first two movies. I went in with low expectations though - i think that always has a massive impact on one's judgement of something. |

Yeah, I gotta side with the tentacled one. T2 was one of my favorite action movies ever and T3 was, well, crap.

T2 was a great *action* movie, but it made no more sense than T3 did. For all of the people ripping on T3's plot, just go back to T2. Okay, so you failed in your first attempt to take out Sarah Connor, so you're going after John Connor instead. Wait, what? Why would you go further *forward*? Why not go back further? Okay, maybe you can't take out Sarah herself, because then she'd be aware of the threat in 1984 and you wind up with some paradox or other, but trying again in the future when she knows there's a threat to her because of her son and has (presumably) imparted said knowledge of said threat to him makes absolutely no sense. Even allowing for 'Okay, all failure to kill Sarah did was ensure that she's able to raise the future leader of the resistance,' and so the future never changed and nuclear destruction wasn't averted. I get that. I'm just saying, whatever plot issues folks had with T3 can be directly traced back to the existence of T2 in the first place. |

Not trash-talking a thing. I loved T2. Looking back at the thread, actually, I think you and I are on the same page. It neither enhanced or damaged the "legacy," and while you wouldn't have shed tears if it had never been made, it doesn't deserve the vitriol many hurl at it, either. |

Just got back from seeing it...I was underwhelmed and disappointed. I think McG has just Uwe Boll'd the Terminator series.
The movie had potential, but, just seemed...too TVish, for the lack of a better word. There were some good parts, but, (I can't figure out the spoiler tag) ahhh I want to say it!!! ****SMALL SPOILER**** When they started using the sounds from the machines from the Tom Cruise version of War of the Worlds, it took me out of the movie.

Saw it last night.
Decent action, good effects and some nice surprises in the acting category from some of the supporting roles. Plot holes you could drive a few trucks through unfortunately, and for me, it really robbed me of getting any enjoyment out of the movie. It had a lot of potential but felt like it still needed a couple rewrites to get to where it'd be a really good movie. And yes, I know we're talking an action movie here. Normally I wouldn't quibble too much about the writing in an action flick, but it stood out that much to me. I don't know if I'd put it up there with X3 or Spiderman 3, but it's closer to those than the first two Terminators.

Saw this yesterday as well. I thought it was awful. Plot holes like mentioned but beyond that it had really shallow characters and overall was not interesting.
I'm a big Christian Bale fan and thought he was terrible. It wasn't all on him as he wasn't given much to work with, but he was not strong. I really have to struggle to come up with anything good to say about it. I think I actually much prefer the 3rd one even to this. I think the setting and the timeline of this one really set it apart from what made the first and second movie interesting. Worst movie I've seen in the theatre in a long time. Probably since X-Men 3 actually, but I think it's a little better than that one. |

Just got home from seeing it. I liked it, in kind of the same way I liked Terminator 3.
1) It's an action movie. 2) It's an attempt to extend the mythology that isn't directed by James Cameron. Accept that for what it is; somebody else's vision is being grafted on, and that's always going to make for some awkwardness. That said...

As I said in the rating thread... low expectations probably helped, but I didn't think it was all that bad. I liked it far better than, say, "Wolverine". It more of a conventional action movie than being the awesomeness of T1 and T2.

Saw it yesterday and thought it was very good. My biggest complaint was that it should have been 30 minutes longer. That would have allowed some of the thinner parts of the storyline to be fleshed out a bit more.

I saw it and was somewhat underwhelmed for sure - not quite certain why possibly some of the illogical plot cuves (such as the ending leaving itself open for sequels and not wrapping up at all) or the wooden acting (particularly fom Mr. Bale imho).
Spoiler
I do think part of the problem though is simply that I saw the new Star Trek movie last week and well that was fantastic and make T4 look very poor by comparison. Last edited by Marc Vaughan : 05-24-2009 at 10:49 AM. |
