So basically this is Terminator 2.5, because John Connor is still alive in this Time Continuum and is fighting another Terminator in another film.

What's the deal with that Soy Boy looking Terminator? LOL
Did Skynet believe something that looks too easy to crush would be the most intimidating?

If this gets screwed up as bad as it looks, NO WAY I'm seeing any of the avatar movies. Really didn't plan on it anyway, being that the whole movie was based on having effects that were above average in 2009.

Should have at least cast someone like Andrei Arlovski to portray the character, it would be way more convincing.

And then we also have a female Justin Bieber in the trailer, the whole trailer almost looks like a parody that made by some random Youtuber.

Then you try to compare it to this...


The teaser alone better than T3, T4, and T5 combined. This is just sad, with all today technology didn't help all that much.

I love Linda & Arnold being in this movie. (not crazy about their choice of actor for the upgraded T-1000) Remains to be seen if they can do the franchise some justice, but I have to believe they split off the timeline right before T3 for a reason & felt like they could do it better. Will watch.

Yeah.. this looks really fucking bad. Wtf..? How can they not make an awesome movie out of this story?


Sarah Connor Chronicles was decent. Only thing decent since T2.
There doesn't even need to be a story. It's about a killer robot. Just make fucking kickass action scenes and fans would happily empty their wallets.
 
I didn't see any spoilers or trailers, and if I hadn't been with people I would have just left when that plot twist was revealed. I played with my phone for the last 45 mins, something I have never done before or since in a movie. That's how annoyed i was with what was happening on the screen.

My mind subconsciously took steps to make sure I saw as little of that mess as possible.

I wish my mind would have cared about me enough to spare me from the finest details of Terminators 3 to 5. Instead... Master Sergeant William Candy, Terminators throwing John Connor ten feet when they're programmed to immediately kill him, nexus points, remember Skynet is Genisys, talk to the hand, Elton John glasses, inflatable Terminator boobs, Earl Boen being made to humiliate his own character, Kripke's basement, John Connor in a dog kennel, John Connor awake and talking with his heart removed or sliced beyond repair like Jason Statham in Crank 2, some dog shit about Sam Worthington getting his brother killed that nobody cares about, Terminators hitting each other with toilets, the Terminator smiling gag that James Cameron deleted with explanation now used three times in one movie, Arnold becoming a T-1000 because why not, John Connor as a Terminator because there was a hero left somewhere that hadn't yet been humiliated or turned into a villain, John Connor wiping out on a motorbike because he can't avoid a deer, Claire Danes went to Top Gun flight academy because whoops we wrote ourselves into a corner, Sarah Connor killed off camera, Skynet captures young Kyle Reese and knows who he is but instead of killing him uses him as a lure for John Connor, most important person in the future now is some chick John Connor didn't remember making out with during spin the bottle in high school...

That's just off the top of my head in three minutes or something.
 
yeah, Arnold’s role is tertiary because Hollywood wants to shove a feminist agenda down your fragile throat, not because he’s a 71 year old that looks like an earthworm stranded on the pavement after a rainstorm.

I said "like arnie now".
I wasn't basing my statement on arnie. Thought that was obvious.

Methink the lady doth protest too much.

They should cast Dirk Blocker to play the next terminator.

I don’t expect to ever see a great Terminator movie again. Same as I don’t expect to see a great Alien movie.

The Terminator and T2 and Alien and Aliens are just so far above everything that came afterwards.

Having Linda back is a nice nostalgia thing but this trailer didn’t give me the sense that this movie looks awesome or is a must see. And in today’s day and age if your trailer can’t look awesome, then usually it’s a real bad sign.

It would be nice to see a decent to good movie here. Here’s hoping.

Terminator franchise, Alien franchise and Predator franchise all suffer from the same problem

In essence, Alien, Terminator and Predator are sci-fi slasher films. They have an incredibly simple premise and they don't overexplain things.

They were never designed to be giant tentpole franchises. You see what happens when you retroactively go back and try to explain things (Prometheus)...shit don't make any sense.

It really blows my mind that Arnold continues to show up for this junk but refuses to be in a Predator sequel
 
I understand what's happening and why John Connor is not in the trailer

This movie is not about John Connor or Sarah Connor

The Terminator is not after them

The Terminator is after that Spanish girl and lesbian Terminator is her protector

So pretty much what that the movie is telling us is that John Connor is not important anymore AKA white male hero is not important
The lesbian terminator is protecting the future Juanita Cortez
 
So gotta wait another 2 years for Avatar 2 cause Cameron wanted to do a Terminator sequel with Arnold n Hamilton in their 70s. Brilliant.

Maybe u should of done in it in the late 90s when it was relevant n before 3 others films killed the franchise after.
