Terminator: Dark Fate - Cause we need another one of these apparently.

[Vampirella]

Also I really like the horror/slasher aspect of the first movie, which is something T2 sadly lacked

The ending of the first movie still holds up for me. The T-800 is depicted perfectly like a killing machine. Even when it's cut in half it won't give up on it's goal, and what makes that really scary is it's just on the edge of reality. We could have murder machines like that some day and the thought of that is scary.

The first movie is a great slasher flick, and the second is a great action flick. It's not often you see a series switch genres like that and still tell a good story between them.

 

[Your Weird Fetish]

But then how did T1000 get sent back? This lore is fucked.

There's no reason at all nanites can't be organic. In fact, they may have to be.

 

[KillThemCrackasBabies]

This looks like shit. I read where Arnold posted it to Le Reddit himself and got kind of hyped but it looks like the same hyper choreographed bullshit the last like 4 were, Are there big fans of watching people break dance against CGI robots? Shit must be way over my head.

 

[Schmeckel]

I'll see it. I was so disappointed when Linda didn't show up for even a cameo in 3. She's the only reason I have some interest here. Salvation wasn't the worst thing I've seen, and Genesys was....a hot mess (but somewhat entertaining).

Maybe we'll have a universe where elder Sarah Connor and elder Laurie Strode fight the Michael-1000.

 

[DapperShark]

I'm surprised they're making another one so soon after Genisys flopped, for the love of god just let it die already.

 

[FrickinFrackinFruckin]

There hasn't been a good Terminator movie since 1991, and getting Tim Miller likely isn't gonna change that.

I also wanna draw attention to the poster, which looks like hastily made fan art:
View attachment 769460

(Also as a Bjork fan, that cover of "Hunter" sucks balls.)

Good god this looks like hot fucking garbage. Just like mostly everything coming out of Hollywood these days. Also what the fuck is up with the shitty music for this trailer? They just couldn't stick with the terminator theme?

 

[Megaroad]

I thought Skynet was both defeated in the future (according to Reese in the first, hence the time travel thing so Skynet can save itself) and stopped in the 90's when they blew up Cyberdyne HQ in T2?

And I don't care what the sequels say.

 

[Munchingonfish]

Lady Terminator makes me think of an alternate future where Adam Lanza trooned out instead of murdering a bunch of kids.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

Looks like garbage.

Now excuse me while I go along my merry way, trying to convince myself that there are only two Terminator movies, two Alien movies, and one Predator movie and that Hollywood has never kept making more movies that ruin their legacies ...

 

[Guts Gets Some]

Meh, far as im concerned the Terminator franchise's official canon ending was this, even if it was eventually dropped from the theatrical release

Cheesy? sure, but atleast its an actual ending that stays true to the hopeful and optimistic message of the movie

James Cameron (at least when he's not a sellout) probably regrets not putting this in after seeing the sequels, I bet.

I do, at the least. But I'm sure Hollywood's money grubbing hands would've found a way to tear open even this solid of an ENDING too.

In any case, I'd rate this idea far worse than anything from Genysis. Did all this paranoia about people hating women start with Ghostbusters 2016 or what? You'd think this is women's sufferage all over again, if you go by movies alone.

 

[sasazuka]

I'll give Salvation credit for at least moving the story forward. No more time traveling robots trying to kill somebody. We have moved into a world where Skynet took over and John Connor is the emerging leader he was always supposed to be.

I thought the biggest problem with Terminator: Salvation was that it felt like the middle film of a Future War movie arc, after an unmade first movie showing survivors shellshocked by a sudden nuclear war a few years earlier beginning to rebuild unaware of the robotic menace slowly creeping across the burnt land.

Besides the time jump, I actually liked most of what Terminator: Salvation had to offer as it didn't feel like a retread and I didn't even mind that John Connor was really just a supporting character.

I'm surprised they're making another one so soon after Genisys flopped, for the love of god just let it die already.

Terminator: Genisys made enough overseas, particularly in China (where it earned ~$113.2 million), to at least break even and it's too well-known a franchise to not attempt a reboot at least once a decade or so.

I prefer the ending we got from a storytelling perspective. Fits the open ended ambiguity of "no fate but what you make", but if having a definitive ending like that would spare us 3, Salvation and Genesys I would of been just fine anyways.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

Terminator Salvation was more core to the original series.

1: "We cannot stop it. I *might* be able to slow it down while you run away and hide. *Dies* Only luck enables Sarah Connor to win against an unstoppable killing machine.
2: "Our only hope to beat this robot is another robot." - Less Man VS Machine and more Machine VS Self
3: Meh. bland Man VS Fate.
Salvation: "I made you to infiltrate the Resistance. You are my property and a machine!" *rips out chip* "FUCK YOU, BITCH, I'M A MAN!" Man VS Fate
Genysis: LOL GImme money. Man VS Film Studio

 

[WhoIsSutterKane]

this movie is a garbage fire.
CGI is fuckin' terrible looks like a SyFy movie. will probably be equally as bad. actually no, i'd rather watch Sharknado.

 

[Darndirty]

I dunno im torn. Dropping the third and forward movies and just making a sequel to the first two is the only way to make a sequel that doesnt complete fuck up the time line, and those movies sucked anyway.

But are we gonna pretend that this movie series was good for any other reason then arnolds menacing in the first and his charisma/presence in the second? No arnold no thank you.

 

[SirQuicksand]

Oh my god, this is gonna suck so hard. Genesys was garbage and it seems they're just trying to milk out whatever this franchise has left before the well runs dry.

Oh and also as a side note, I didn't think Salvation was all that bad.

 

[The Nothingness]

My theory about is that a new timeline was set after Genysis and the twist is that this young woman being protected is Sarah Conner's granddaughter or some new face who will be the real future savior of humanity. After all, we can't have another man be the hero, plus the character of John Conner was pretty much chewed up and spat out in the last movie. Also Arnold is only back to die for good after "passing the torch" of protector to whoever New Terminator Person is suppose to be.

If Arnold's not in these, then even fewer people are gonna see them. I think he's in this until the end. Even after they put him in the ground, they'll probably be doing to him what they did to Peter Cushing in Rogue One. There will be no escape. He will keep making Terminator movies long after he is dead.

I just started rewatching Terminator 1 and 2 because I'm really hoping they don't pull a Last Jedi on our asses !
I'm at least glad they're doing an actual T3 but even then , it's a little too late for that. I'm a little mixed about this new movie mostly because of the absence of John Connor........
Like where the fuck is he ?
