STOKED.

I LOVE the Terminator series, am really glad they got Christian Bale to play John Conner because the last guy was not cutting it. Red heads do not belong as John Conner, fact.

 

Number 3 wasn't all that great but made due for a good blockbuster.

    I'm not looking forward to it. I think its going to be a disaster somewhere between Die Hard 4 and the recent IJ movie.

     

    I watched the trailer, and there is something missing. I guarantee you that it will be a digitally recorded movie as opposed to real film, and it will be loaded with uncanny valley androids as opposed to real puppets. Oh and, to much CGI overall.



    Ignoring all that, I was immediately alarmed by the "future isn't what my mother told me it would be" statement. So that future we all saw since the first Terminator film, and have envisioned since, isn't going to be there. That first future world would have made an awesome movie, anything else is going to be crappy and probably campy. Maybe they should have simply waited for Arnold to serve out the rest of his term, or, gosh golly, let the series go.



    It's just another cheap money grab.

    Exactly right.



    I detect sarcasm though, so if you want to discuss this further with me you ought to invalidate the observations I made from the trailer. That statement you quoted wasn't actually the body of my argument. It was the conclusion made from it.

    Then don't watch it when it comes out, and get the hell out of this thread please.

    I was kind of surprised when I heard they were making this, although I am looking forward to it. I've always wanted to see a Terminator film actually set in the post-apocalyptic SkyNet ruled future. Another 'let's send a more advanced Terminator back in time to kill John Connor' would probably be way too formulaic.
