That's probably what the potential Terminator Salvation sequel could have touched on.
Speaking of... we've now seen 'good guy' Arnold Terminators in three movies now! Did they just... grab a bunch while they were there? I'm picturing it in my head and laughing to myself 8-}
Is Terminator Genisys a good film? No, but for a fan of Arnold it was a decent little bit of fun, especially in a climate where all of the action films seem so serious that they tend to forget to allow their audiences to have fun with it.
This nails it, I think! =D>
Agreed. TT & T2 are SERIOUS works. TG is just a pleasant revisit (like Crystal Skull) not to be taken too seriously IMHO.
I had a free ticket to use, so I guess my opinion is invalid, but I think it would've been worth the money if I had to pay, just because of how mindblowing the 3D was to me. Couldn't care less for the film itself.
\m/
(it's airsoft)
I haven't mastered this yet:
but by god I'm trying! Actually, it's pretty heavy and hurts my fingers like crazy. I guess it helps to be a machine, lol
I'm thinking of making some sort of plaque to hang it on the wall
While we´re at it, is there an explanation why those time machines transport the purely metal T-1000, even though they supposedly don´t transport metal without organic tissue over it? Or is the T-1000 organic metal?
No no no, look, the only film depicting fully realistic time travel is Predestination :ar! .
Haha, what else is he supposed to say?
I guess I´d happily go three times in a row if the 2D version was shown again in cinemas. I just couldn´t decide which version I´d want. The cinematic version has the slick pace of the first one, and the director´s cut brings the story and philosophy on a whole new level.
I guess my favorite choice would be a double feature: T1 in a slightly Lucas-ised version with the aged back projection updated, and then T2 as director´s cut :-).
Derailing, I know, but worth mentioning, and now I´ll keep my mouth shut.
First of all, any transportation device would operate on the subatomic level, meaning it would break a structure down into its fundamental particles (electrons, quarks, ...). It's ridiculous to assume that it would leave the entire atom intact. Ergo the carbon atoms that are typical for organic compounds and the iron or copper or titanium or whatever atoms in the terminators would from the POV of a "time displacement machine" be the same: collections of fundamental particles. Such a devise would be indiscriminate towards them. The difference between organic and metallic matter is purely chemical and I'd be surprised if not offended if we're supposed to believe that a transporting device would function chemically.
Secondly, if it suffices to wrap the metal in organic tissue, which is basically what the T-800 is, then guns can be smuggled from the future too. Just wrap it in cloth and you can go. If the point is that the tissue must be living tissue, then Skynet is just full of it. Assuming that "living" as a criterion can be simplified to "containing nucleic acids" (i.e. DNA or RNA), we're back at the chemical level, a level which I believe the machine would simply ignore. Also, the T-1000 can better contain enough carbon and hydrogen if it wants to mimic DNA. Steel contains a little (but then really a little) carbon but hydrogen is out of the question. Also, DNA requires nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorous too.
BUT, there's still a way out of this. The T-1000 might be able to function as some kind of nuclear "re-arranger", a device that can alter the composition of its atomic nuclei. It might then change organic matter in metallic matter as it deems fit. Let me just say though that it would need the power of the Sun to do that and also that if such a device were developed by Skynet, it needn't worry about the resistance any longer. Such a device could be used to wipe out mankind in a single blast. But then, I doubt that a mass production of T-1000 wouldn't be enough to fight and defeat the resistance without all the kill-Sarah-Conner-in-the-past stuff any way. I mean, those dudes are pretty indestructible and melting them down with fire or acid isn't very practical.
Which brings me to my last point: the acid used in TG. So, the T-1000 is chemically corroded. Won't happen. The types of metal most likely used for a T-1000 (i.e. no sodium or magnesium or calcium or some such light metals) do not react so vigorously with acids. It would take a lot more time OR some pretty particular acidic mixtures to produce the results seen in the movie. I doubt such mixtures, which would furthermore have to be pretty heated, run through the sewer, even in 1984.
We're getting there, @chrisisall. :) I like where this is going. :)
We're still left with the problem of how the T-1000 can alter atoms at the nuclear level but yeah, assuming it can do that, the required energy would be an obvious obstacle.
By the way, Arnold's fuel cell, so heavily spotlighted in T3, would carry at most a fraction of the energy required by the T-1000. ;-)
@Thunderfinger, you mean to say you don't worship at the altar of Skynet? You're either very dumb or you're a terminator yourself. Wait... you wouldn't be that T-hee version they put out recently, now would you? ;-)
For me though no matter how bad everyone claims Genesys (autocorrect is annoying s sorry for the various misspellings of the title) it can't be worst the rise of the machines which not only gave us the worst ending of the franchise (again the films always very strongly play with our notions of destiny fate and the hand of God and usually gives those a middle finger sighting no we can stop judgement day except the third and fourth) ending it with judgment day while seems like a cool idea practically destroys everything Cameron did and that is ignoring how the actor who played John Connor is so forgettable I don't remeber his name hell he makes Jai Courtney seem down right memorable. Though actually the full cast is just a waste. I could actually write a thesis on how bad the film is and honestly it s equivalent to how Hard core Star Wars fans felt about phantom menance. In fact rise of the machines is th first time that I realized my tastes were maturing and it would take more then boobs and explosions to get me excited (actually my high school years were filled with entertainment disappointments only 1 yes album terminator rise of the plot holes a lot of bland batman rumors that never amounted to anything die another day yeah... At least w got Freddy vs Jason finally)
Moving on though Genesys while people complain looks to me like a decent film and I plan on picking it up eventually
I like the happy ending for Sarah and Reese, and they've set things up so they can continue to battle the emerging skynet and Bad John Connor
I'm ready for another serving please
There's also been some talk about a TV series, so I guess it's possible that they could end up pursuing TV as the format in which to provide the sequel but I do think that they could right the ship and create a successful sequel to Genisys.
