Snowman_McK posted:I'll give you that one. That is a cool idea that is executed well. That it's a blink and you'll miss it shot left over from an earlier version of the script and is the best moment in the movie is probably as damning an indictment of Salvation as I can manage. That’s not the best part in the movie, but a simple example of one of its effectively creepy images. The best parts of the movie are: -The basic concept of the Marcus character (a robot granted humanity, free will and a sympathetic backstory by Skynet, under the correct assumption that this will make him a more dangerous weapon). -John Connor losing the gift of prophecy and becoming paralyzed with indecision. (Essentially half the story of Life Die Repeat summed up in one subplot). -Skynet’s comprehensibly alien thought processes (e.g. referring to its future self in the third person, erasing its own memory of its secret agent in order to provide the best cover). Those three things cover like 90% of the runtime. The only really uninteresting part is Michael Ironside in a submarine. I know that everybody’s like T2 is the best movie ever made and they’ve been ruined for movies forever because nothing will ever be as good again, but it may be helpful to think outside the franchise for a moment. T4 is easily in the top three postapocalyptic robot war movies. Like, what’s better? Fuckin’ Screamers? No thank you!

Terminator I is one of the best horror movies ever, and Terminator II is one of the best action movies ever.

Why can’t they just make a movie of the shiny robots stepping on skulls while shooting blue lasers at rag tag survivors? 2hours of that would work for me.

Play the Terminator Resistance videogame, for a budget FPS it absolutely nails the Future War aesthetic, the (initial) hopelessness of the human survivors, the sound design, Terminators being a real threat, the atmosphere and visuals, it’s great and wayyyy better than I expected it to be.

The sad thing is even if someone wanted to do this, it'd lose the gritty 80s practical effects aesthetic that we've all had in our heads for decades and be too drat clean and crispy cgi to actually work.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:That’s not the best part in the movie, but a simple example of one of its effectively creepy images. Once again, man, I fuckin' love the version of the movie that exists in your head and wish I'd seen it. Unfortunately I saw the one where Marcus sucks as an assassin and successfully helps John, whose undermined gift of prophecy doesn't stop him being constantly right about everything. Like I said, Salvation is amazing on paper and is full of great ideas and concepts that all deserve to be in a better movie. I wouldn't argue that it's not the best post apocalyptic robot war movie because that is a narrow genre and Salvation is the only one with a larger budget than whatever change was under the writer/director's couch and a cast of actual actors instead whoever was desperate enough to appear in a movie called 'Future War' RBA Starblade posted:Moviefight: Terminator Salvation vs Matrix Revolutions That's barely a fight. Revolutions by a staggering margin.

This is really true, if something like it were to be made I'd want whoever did the effects for Elysium to handle it as while there's of course a lot of CG in it it also had quite a few miniatures like the ships and really had that look to me.

Actually, another movie I'd say would be a superior Terminator sequel is Oblivion starting Tom Cruise, that is if you take out the word "aliens" and call the antagonists Skynet.
