Locked TERMINATOR: DARK FATE (First Teaser Poster; Trailer Tomorrow)

[Philo-Publius]

A good start is getting rid of that muppet generic-looking main guy and Daeneris. Out.

I had no problem with the chick who was cast as Sarah Connor. I thought she did pretty good. The casting for Reese was awful though. That guy also sucked in the fifth Die Hard movie. The characters he plays are not interesting.

The whole cast of that movie was the problem. The story wasnt THAT bad, the acting was. Dont get me started on the guy who played john connor, WTF was that? Also making arnold funny like in T3 didnt work.

YAAAAAWN

I didn't think the actor who played John Connor was terrible (although I would have preferred to see Christian Bale), but the spin they did on his story was terrible. That was not what I wanted to see. They also completely spoiled the twist in the previews, which was retarded. And why was the T-1000 some Asian guy? Couldn't they have just CGI'd Robert Patrick?

There were lots of missteps in Genisys, but I still thought Rise of the Machines and Salvation were even worse movies.

I don't think it's a problem that they used different parts of the same story. Who didn't want to see a good back story of John Connor's fight against the machines (e.g., Terminator Salvation)? The real problem is that they fucked the story up repeatedly after T2. It's the execution, not the subject matter, that was the problem.

Maybe, but the problem now is that even though Terminator Salvation sucked, audiences still have now seen John Connor's backstory and they've seen the future war world (even though it was boring as crap). There really isn't much more you can do with those characters that would be new and interesting. I'll give credit to Genesys for at least trying to be creative. That movie did give us something new (and some of the old classic stuff too) and on paper the story in Genesys is intriguing. But like you said, it was the execution of it that didn't work.

Bottom line is there isn't anything more they can do with Sarah and John. The only thing I can imagine them doing now is showing us the end of the road for those 2, and who they choose to pass the baton off to.

Make it Saving Private Ryan in the future, to look for an Mia John and take him back to 1984 where he becomes Bill gates or something to stop skynet from the inside. Eventually he learns only to control it and the second film is a hacker epic where he loses control. Then the third film is a near-future apocalypse story like The Road, with the best case scenario having been achieved--total loss of technology, with the last robot teaching a young boy the forgotten lessons of humanity.
Genisys was aiight!

They both look too small for the roles.

Make it Saving Private Ryan in the future

I'm down with that, but ONLY if it looks and sounds 100% like the future we saw at the beginning of T1 and T2, and they follow the rules of that future as described by Kyle Reese in T1. That bullshit we got in T:S wasn't Terminator in any way, shape, or form. It was more of a halfassed Mad Max rippoff than anything.

I just don't see it working, ever. The plot is inherently one big plothole itself, you're never gonna make a well-thought out Terminator movie, and clearly going full-tilt summer action style only resulted in the "should've been aborted" Genysis.

How many times can you send someone back in time to save someone from the past so they can help someone in the future who'll send back a robot to fight a robot who was sent back from the future to blah blah blah. Move on Hollywood, move on.

I feel like it can be done. It just hasn't been done since T2. It's all about execution and the people who executed T3-T:G were worthless hacks that had nothing of value to offer. You need someone who'll be slavishly devoted to the first two films (not by repeating the stories, but by recreating what we saw) as precisely as possible. You can make an all new and unique story, but it has to fit and line up perfectly with the first two and look, sound, and feel exactly as those did; basically it can't in any way shit on what came before (think Aliens to Alien).

I still maintain that the first 5 minutes of XMEN: Days of Future Past was the most faithful recreation of the future from T1/T2, since T2.

So like I said, not possible. What's the story? Is it gonna involve a robot or person being sent back in time to stop something? Then I'm already over it. Been there, done that, puked on it and left.

The studio wants something it can sell, that involves cool robots and crazy time travel twists. We're not getting some introspective movie about an AI coming to terms with a new found sentience and humanity as it's called upon to just be a robot. Definitely not one that doesn't involve a cool new robot to sell toys with or some kind of unexpected twist.

So I just can't get excited for any new Terminator. There's 349734 reasons to think it'll be shit, and nothing but hope that it won't.

I still wouldn't say it's impossible, just unlikely. I'm not sure if Tim Miller is the right man for the job. I think he'll do better than the previous three hacks, but I'm not sure how much better.

The perfect time for a legit T3 would have been 1996 or 1997.

Ia she going back in time to find her boobs?






No I can't take credit for that line.

 

[NastyNinja]

People will see it because the trailers they make are so awesome...

Nobody votes with the wallet anymore.

Standards are evil and talking about who makes it/produces the movie makes you an asshole/hater to people who already got sold by the hype trailers.

 

[Organic Damage]

I was thinking about this. Why do they feel the need to butch up the female leads since Hamilton became Uber-sarah in T2? Lena Heady was great as Sarah on TSCC and she was a twig.

It just seems they want to bootstrap credibility onto the character by making her sexually unattractive. Which missed the point of Hamilton's transformation entirely.

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

Let me just say, T3 and Salvation were not all that bad. They're actually pretty good. They just can't compare to GOATsy T2. Come at me Terminhaters.

 

[Adamant]

Aaaaaaand let me guess... Mackenzie's character is gonna be a lesbian?


So brave.

Looks good I guess.

And I didn't realize she is that flat chested huh.
