lol Technology certainly has come a long way!
I'm getting really excited for Terminator though- already made plans with some friends to go opening night! All the reviews seem to be 50/50 (provided you don't expect it to be better than 1 & 2 it seems)
Doesn't it make more sense to just watch the first 2 again in that case?
I will do this definitely before seeing the new one, but out of courtesy/respect to Arnie (or rather, the memory of brilliant Arnie from the 80's/90's), I'll be watching this one, ridiculous though it may be. I did not like 3 or Salvation at all.
I rewatched Salvation recently, I really enjoyed it. More than I had in the cinema.
Said it before I will say it again. They should have continued that story line.
Exactly. I don't know why they went for the reboot route when they could (and should) have continued that storyline with Bale as Connor (who, IMO, was perfect on the role).
However, I do agree, they should have continued the story. At the VERY least, Bale and Yelchin should have returned for Genesys. Now THEN we'd have a serious movie on our hands! Bale AND Schwarzenegger together!! Plus one of the biggest complaints I hear from those who have seen it, is that Jai Courtney sucks every bit of fun and awesomeness out of Reese (to say nothing of the fact that this character who supposedly grew up eating rats and living in the dark now looks like a bodybuilder)
I had a fun ride with it, and was pleasantly surprised to see more 'young Arnold' (which looked outstanding all the way) when he first meets Sarah.
My only real complaints are that the trailer spoiled nearly everything, and John Connor never really felt like much of a threat (was he trying to kill them or freaking hug them?)
But it was good, don't listen to the nay-sayers! I wanna see it again already, just to try and figure a few things out I missed the first time
It's even more lo-tech than you think. It's not Bruce's face 'floating' as @fire_and_ice put it on another actor's body, but a cardboard cut-out. It's a very short sequence, there is another actor playing Lee's character, but not in this shot.
This guy is the definition of uncharismatic. He couldn't even talk about himself without sounding dense. The interviewer had to ask leading questions and even then he couldn't give coherent answers.
The fact that he's worked with Russel Crowe, Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise and now Arnold Schwarzenegger defies belief. I don't know how he's getting these roles, but it further reduces my respect for Hollywood.
It was such a disappointment to watch this 'up and comer'.
It was interesting to see the "backstory" to the original film, with SkyNet sending the T-800 back in time. A lot of cool little nods to fans of the first two. But why did they not get Robert Patrick back as the T-1000? I'm sure nowadays his asking fee wouldn't be too much. That would've made the movie that much more awesome.
Go and see it! The sequences done at the beginning of "1984" are done so perfectly. Hoping that a sequel does get made - this is the first time where I can say that I really do want another sequel to Terminator (wasn't alive for T2, which is easily the best sequel ever made).
Correct. Dates have been confirmed for release and Arnold has even stated that he is signed on to reprise his role in the next one. However, if Genisys flops, the sequel will obviously unlikely be made. That said, Cameron is set to get the rights to the franchise back in 2019, regardless.
As much as I liked Genisys, here is something that does put the whole thing into perspective: T2 had a deleted scene involving Arnold smiling. Why was it deleted? Because Cameron decided he didn't want the Terminator to become a silly comical character. That said, Arnold smiles no less than THREE TIMES in Genisys.
So, while I did love the movie and found it to be the best one since T2, I am looking forward to getting Cameron back.
Regarding Cameron, does anyone know if he plans to make sequels, or reboot his own characters?
I find it interesting that critics are tearing this film apart but everybody who I ask who saw it really enjoyed it. Just weird to me. Because once again, I also really enjoyed it
Also to the person who asked about Robert Patrick. He WAS asked to reprise his role. He didn't want to. But he has a cameo in the hospital
Can't see him touching Terminator again. If he was honest, I'd imagine in hindsight he'd have loved it to remain a duology.
I agree, the timeline he presented was sealed when Arnold's T-800 went into the molten metal.
He's doing a trilogy. Shooting back to back in NZ.
