Terminator franchise reboot

That sounds utterly awful. I'll probably still give it a try though... Can always hope...

Wha.... ?

I adore the first two films and quite like the Sarah Conner Chronicles (Summer Glau.... ) but this just sounds stupid beyond belief.

Definitely, why they feel the need to change some of the fundamental story is strange...

WTF did I just read? That sounds ridiculous.

I think the thing we all have to face is... we are no longer the target audience :eek:

As far as the entertainment industry is concerned those of us around for the originals are Coffin Dodgers

Yeah, no...

I think Emilia Clarke is a passable younger Linda Hamilton perhaps not in that image but from other stills I've seen... so I'm hoping for some sense of a link even if small.

What ever we say I think we'll all end up watching it so we can at least bitch about it

Ugh why is the only sequel option always have to delete the original stories these days?

Oh my, Please no!

I didn't think the franchise could sink any lower than Salvation, which was truly one of the most pathetic attempts at a script I've ever seen.

This sounds worse - how hard can it be to make a decent Terminator film? Jesus.

Why couldn't they just stop after T2

Uncle Petey · 31 Oct 2014 at 16:25

Why couldn't they make something that wasn't **** after T2?

FutileBreadMachine · 31 Oct 2014 at 16:32

I think the smart thing after T2 would have been to just make a prequel showing how they managed to send Kyle Reese back in time. Then everyone could have seen plenty of the future war which was so intriguing, and we wouldn't have the awful T3 and Salvation.

Plus, how does this even make sense.

So we have to assume the resistance have sent Arnie/ Terminator back to watch over Conner as she grows up, at what point does the future stop mucking it up in the past?
Then what was the point of sending one back when Conner was a bit older/ none aware of the possible future?

One does not simply try to understand retcon time travel paradox scenarios.

That would have a 1000 times better than T3 etc!

That's what most of us wanted to see and it would've wrapped it up nicely.

another big fat flop

Sho · 31 Oct 2014 at 21:53

Is this **** for real?

There appears to be an inordinate amount of shouting whilst shooting in this film.

Also, why does Matt Smith have what appears to be Eotech optics on a flame thrower?

What the actual

It gets worse... And why are they at the Top Gear test track?

Because, it's the best location for filming...
