Terminator Salvation

[Ghost]

I enjoyed both The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Those were great movies, and I've watched them countless times in the past. I've watched Terminator 3 once, and that was enough. I didn't like it. Needless to say, I don't have any huge hopes for number 4.

Like you Ghost, I've thought about the future war scenario. The parts from Terminator 1 with Kyle Reese fighting the machines are both intriguing and exciting. The music is excellent as well.

Personally to me the franchise is ruined, I didn't like Terminator 3 and I find the idea of a Terminator is series incredible stupid.
It is already full of clichés from what I have read about it.

I no longer care.

I didn't like Terminator 3 either, already the fact in using a female Terminator, how crap was that. Ok, she looks nice, but do we really need that? Prefer a good pr0n then

Robot pr0n

You two don't honestly want me to answer on that one.

The storyline was crap and the hot chick terminator was a gimmick to attract the prepubescent teenagers.

After T2 i decided to never watch any more Terminator films. Wish i'd made that promise about all James Cameron films TBH.

Which ones Buleste?

The only movies I enjoyed were Aliens, T1, and T2.

Exactly. He's made way too many films most of which have been sh1t. Aliens and Terminator are good. Everything else is dross (T2 is a kids film that had some cutting edge effects at the time (can everyone say Lightwave?)) except for Titanic which is the worst film ever, ever, ever,ever, bar none.

True Lie is great!

Abyss isn't a bad movie either.

[Bloodwych]

Agree with all who didn't like T3. Did not like that movie either.

This new one is going to be interesting. I've always wanted to see more of the future Battle ever since T1.

I have a horrible feeling it will be 12A however....

Yep, T3 was dire. It even showed Arnie's acting abilities up!

But, a 4th film could be great if approached correctly. The great thing at the moment is that the industry is in a start of post-modernity, looking back on all of the great film franchise of the past that were not given quite the justice, direction, or approach they deserved, and reinventing them. Batman and James Bond are probably the two key examples of this.

If they do the same with the Terminator franchise, completely forgetting the last film, or even going further and forgetting all of the previous films, and instead creating a film that is completely based in the post apocalyptic future where the terminators hunt the humans that could end up being great.

In the mean time just watch Screamers. I love that film.
