Terminator Salvation...

[Scott_M]

Star Trek pissed on Terminator from a great height.

 

I don't deny that.

[Special K]

I don't deny that.

 

Sorry mate, I wasn't saying that you weren't. I was just giving my, very brief, appraisal of the 2 films.

[philyhamann]

God sake Philly, you can understand Spock going back in time but can't grasp Terminator doing it?

 

Without being rude, you've already said something in another thread along the lines of 'I hope every film this summer is shit so Star Trek is the best'. TBH, that's kind of making your views on this film irrelevant.

 

There was fundamental problems with the plot which means you can't really be engaged. You're only supposed to like John Connor cause you've been told he is a hero. I can write a list of reasons why this films plot is retarded.

 

They should've hired a decent director not MC FUCKIN G.

[hamstrung]

Its getting slated to fuck by every decent critic. I won't bother.

[Section_31]

Will watch it on Sunday, at the end of the day it's got Michael Ironside in, so it'll have to work very hard indeed to disappoint me.

[dennis tooth]

What's Mark Comode saying is the only question?

Mark slated it at 3.30 this afternoon.

 

He seems to have a problem with McG

[dennis tooth]

If he slates a film I probably won't bother to watch it but this is Terminator so it will probably delay bothering to watch it for me.

[Unrighteous]

I was excited to see it but might give it a swerve now... people not liking it, really.

[NickConklin]

Just got back from watching it and only one word for it DULL.

Forget the plot holes etc u got to watch these films for "action and adventure" but god this was boring. Bale looks like he realises hes in a crap film and cant wait to get out of there the Marcus character is the most interesting but the whole premise of him doesnt make sense and when the CGI Arnie turns up then im afraid I gave In. The best I can say about it was that its isnt shit its just nothing and pointless.

[Lefti]

I'm a fan of the new one, they did what they could with it. Think its setting up for an even better T5 and T6. Thought the actor they got in to play Kyle Reece was spot on, Bale puts in a solid effort as Connor.

 

However, the director couldn't steer away from a few cheesy moments "i'll be back!" and also they played the T2 sound track Guns n Roses - You could be mine in the film.

 

A solid 7/10 imo.

[philyhamann]

Saw it tonight. Wish I had gone with my instincts and saw Star Trek again.

 

LOL! Joke film.

[philyhamann]

seriously

 

what a stupid fucking film. i really think i could write a better screenplay than the majority of people in hollywood. writing a blockbuster is in no way hard.

Basic storyline premise works like this: Introduce Hero, Put Hero up a tree, Throw rocks at Hero, Hero solves the problem, Ending.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Why can't they just fucking leave the Terminator thing alone? It's been rinsed to death for crying out loud.

[snez1]

If "you could be mine" is in it them i'm watching it. What a tune.

[Section_31]

Aye, video is top too. The clips at the very beginning were cut from the film when it was released, it was originally going to show the older John Connor breaking into Cyberdine and reprogramming the terminator.

 

This is the kind of tune I'd play in the car if I was driving to someone's house to kill them. Not that it's ever crossed my mind.

I also thought cameron's vision of the future was a lot better and grim. This one felt more like resident fucking evil or terminator on a beach.

Cameron's filming in T2 was quality, he used filters like Michael Mann uses to create that LA hue, either gold or blue.

Heat and Collateral being the two finest examples.

 

Terminator is a load of sci fi bollocks and shite within that genre, too.

 

If anyone is weighing up which load of sci fi nonsense to watch, go for star trek; its basically american hero pap but is fun and easy to take in.

[philyhamann]

Why do people always call Star Trek very american? That always confuses me.

[Lurtz]

Went to see it today with Little Lurtz. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not interested in picking through the bones of the plot trying to find holes, it was just a very good, crash-bang sci-fi movie and myself and LL enjoyed it a lot. Some people should chill out and enjoy a movie for what it is rather than getting nerdy-anal about storyline intricacies.

[dennis tooth]

The old star treks were good but since William Shatner left it's gone downhill. It used to be shakespear in space but now shit. Saying that at least you don't see a CGI Shatner, I'd rather watch the Travelator out of Gladiators than the new Terminator.

[Guest The Big Green Bastard]

just went to see it and i agree with IMDB's rating of 7.2/10. Surprisingly nobody in the cinema got up for a piss during the entire film, which say's something i suppose.
