umm duh thats supposed to be a phased plasma rifle, 40W range, dummy :rolleyes:

I did expect the 40W phased plasma rifle to be slightly better looking than an airsoft Galil with some bits glued to it. None of those guns look in any way real, none of the costumes/armor look in any used, none of the actors look like they actually ever fought anything in their lives. Remember when Kyle Reese and the T800 looked like hobos shooting each other with sawn off stolen guns?

Well this movie looks like total poo poo, has nothing but the vaguest connections to the original franchise, and will be instantly forgotten after it makes $200mil. Eh, I'll go see it and buy $40 in butter popcorn and redvines.

T3 was OK simply because it had Arnie in it. You know, THE loving TERMINATOR. The rest don't even deserve a disappointed sign.

Having said that, the last series they did (Terminator: The Burning Earth) completely rules and features a war-weary John Connor contemplating suicide as Skynet starts re-nuking and chemical bombing what's left of the human race. It's also the first professional work that Alex Ross ever did, so the artwork is totally gorgeous.

There's no way there's anyone involved with this movie who didn't grow up in a household that pulled six figures and their helicopter parents used that to shelter them from the real world

Basically Hollywood has been taken over by the american equivalent of posh upper class twats so you can pretty much expect most action movies from here on out to be aimed at bored aristocrats wanting an escape from their boring lives of luxury

The first two short paragraphs of this article have an interesting explanation for the pictures

I just can't get over how bad the actors are. Khaleesi O'Conner plays a woman raised by a robot with trouble dealing with human emotions? This is seriously the role she pics after being mocked for her monotone acting on GoT. I don't get it. I'm glad Arnold's in it. It is his character, like someone else said.

Why Can't they just look more like this?

I found this headshot:



Still need to get one from Sarah though if someone can try, not my sarah:

I am just re-reading the post T-2 books that came out maybe 14-15 years ago and drat that would have been a great movie follow up. John and Sarah hide out in South America and happen to bump into the real guy who the Arnie terminator is based on. He is a retired counter terrorist operative and is kinda like Arnie in Predator. Skynet sends a human/terminator hybrid that builds a squad of t-101s and plays the long game by making sure Skynet gets built. The really cool thing is that the plot is set around 8 years after T-2 so the ages all kinda match up with the actors ages. It's basically a post T-2 fan fic and nothing to do with T-3. First one is called "infiltrator" written by S. Stirling. It's not great, but its worth a look if you are a fan. I think The Sarah Connor Chronicles was kind of based on it a bit. But as cheesy as the books and the tv show are, this new re-boot sounds like loving garbage. It's all about tone and that's the thing the later movies didn't get. Even the tv show had some great dark moments with it's characters. This film will probably try too hard to be gritty and serious and add in loads of filters and references and completely miss the point.

From page one but what I think is going on is there's a bigger divide between the rich and the poor now, and making the hero an upper class goober will help pull in the coveted "money nerd" demographic.

Like you have money to spend but want to escape your goobery reality.

In the 80's movie heros were charismatic Everyman types because there was a strong middle class.

This is certainly a good LF post but how will it influence The Important Terminator Series?

This Terminator Movie is important and probably will be enjoyed by someone.
