Terminator Salvation...

[Scott_M]

Trailer look good but the jury is still out IMO

[RedKnight]

I disagree dude. There's a really great backstory (forestory really) in the first two Terminator movies, that could really, really be explored well if done correctly. My bone of contention is that in T2 they stopped Judgement Day, it didn't happen. To undo that so flagrantly and continue as they did with T3 is to undermine the epic struggle of the characters within that film.

 

I always liked the apocalypse as a spectre in the background, the foreboding threat and the ultimate price of failure. To now just fling us headlong into it just means that it really isn't a Terminator movie as we know it, I think to see snippets of the possible future is more exciting than actually being there. The Matrix did this years ago and look what happened there.

 

The only standard in these movies has be the Governator but now it's just a brand new franchise with familiar names and locations.

 

I'm not sold on this at all, like you I was happy with just one and two, and three was a massive let down. If you can't get the King of the World to come back to the series I'd leave well alone.

 

I agree that it may be interesting if done right and Nolan being onboard interests me more but I'm a long way from being sold.

They managed to fuck up the Sarah Connor Chronicles within the first episode, other than that as a toned down series that was independant of any film before it it was ok.

[RedKnight]

Sarah Connor Chronicles is independent of the T3 timeline too. Weird.

[RedKnight]

I wouldn't want them to do it, I didn't want them to do 3. But they are doing it and we might as well get used to it. The best we can hope for is that they do it right. It sounds like they're getting it right.

 

I hope you're right, dude.

Yep, setting a series based on Sarah Connor a year or so after we've been told she died wasn't the brightest move.

It annoyed me that they jumped to our exact time period as well. Felt lazy.

[RedKnight]

It's been renewed for another series too.

[RedKnight]

Cool poster for it.

Come with me if you want to live.

 

If I was John Connor the world would be fucked, because I'm FAR too lazy to run.

[RedKnight]

New, longer trailer is up and it looks really promising. Here's hoping...

 

*fingers crossed*

wheres the link buddy?

[RedKnight]

I thought you could all go off and search for yourselves but here it is.

 

Apple - Trailers - Terminator Salvation

[manwiththestick]

Well, at least it looks better than Rise of the machines.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Looking pretty decent actually.

[RedKnight]

Had the final trailer before Star Trek, on a fantastic screen, this week. It looked ace and I so want it to be good but I just know it's going to be average at best. Everytime I hear that theme though...

[Tyler Durden]

Its been getting half decent reviews

[Scott_M]

British reviews have been far better than the American ones.

[RedKnight]

Oh and the Sarah Chronicles have been cancelled by Fox but that was a bit shit anyway.

[dennis tooth]

I'm glad it was that bad I never watched it. Apparently it shits all over the film storylines. I hate it when they do that to make some money out of some third rate spin off series.

 

You might as well have a one off special in the Crinkly Bottom house with Sarah Connor having all the characters to christmas dinner and getting up to answer the door midway through where a 'suprise guest' turns out to be "Now who could that be", "It's the T-1000, surprise bitch, Sarah Connor?" Before blowing a bowl of spagetthi in the side of her hed then sitting down to tuck into Xmas lunch and kissing Spiderman under the mistletoe.

Hilarious and sure to get the viewing figures and rake in loads from the adverts but what is the point?

[philyhamann]

Action is meant to be -ok-, Bale is meant to be pretty bad in it and being shown up for his lack of range again, the other guy is meant to be pretty good too.

 

Story is awful though, worse than T3.

 

Why they gave this film to McG and some no talent hack writers..

You not seen many Bale films or Nolan Batman's then?

[philyhamann]

I'm not saying he is a bad actor, but when it comes to action films he is pretty terrible, he wasn't fantastic as Batman either - his Bat voice was fucking awful, he did a decent Bruce Wayne but that was it.

 

And neither of the guys who have written this were involved in Batman.

[dennis tooth]

I prefer his namesake who excels as a thespian in comparison, a bale of hay. Seen here in Gorrilla's in the mist and Feild of dreams. All the good actors are dying, in their plaice are cold flapping wet fish.

[RedKnight]

I thought Chris Nolan's brother was involved in the script, as he was for the Dark Knight.
