Terminator 6 aka the real Terminator 3 or something oh god when will it end

i for one am excited about the prospect of a sixth movie featuring a killer robot from the future intent on murdering sarah and/or john connor

sick burn from the hollywood reporter in the final paragraph of that story btw

lol @ 2 Ava 2 Tar

I wish the Terminator would travel back in time and prevent some Terminator sequels. They are our Skynet.

Can they make one with literally all of characters from all the other ones in it, like a massive comic book multiverse crossover? Even Claire Danes and old Ed Furlong.

It's more than a little disingenuous to claim that the original team has returned, when the visionary behind that original team, James Cameron, is not directing, and the guy who directed Deadpool is.

oh no my vizh

Have they reintroduced Terminator as a kids cartoon yet?

if this delays or even prevents the thousand avatar sequels then i'm seeing it as a net good

the live-action parts of the next three or four avatar movies are in the process of being filmed now, iirc

my hype-o-meter remains unmoved either way

also it's been so long since cameron directed like... a regular movie

oh wait i'm sorry my eyes for some reason completely scanned over "directed by deadpool guy" ugh

Have they reintroduced Terminator as a kids cartoon yet?

kinda surprising that there were robocop and rambo cartoons (and a planned aliens cartoon!) but there was never a terminator one

They should make a cartoon about a Terminator who goes back to the past to convince somebody to make a Terminator cartoon.

there was one in development in the early '90s. Never made it beyond the concept stage though iirc

the avatar sequels begin filming next week, apparently

obv it took a billion at the box office but nonetheless i find it hard to imagine anyone being super-excited to see three sequels to what was basically a lavish tech demo

I finally watched that last Terminator movie on Hulu, and it was just godawful stupid. The TV show wasn't bad. But this franchise is dead, just lower it into the molten steel already.

bring it on. i loved the last Terminator

Hollywood Reporter is now basically just the Fangoria magazine rumours column circa 1992

Who would win in a fight, Terminator or Predator?

PREDINATOR

bring it on. i loved the last Terminator

wtf adam this is insane

this has a better chance if being good than any of them post T2 at least.

i think Deadpool is an embarrassing character with an embarrassing fanbase but i caught the movie on TV and it wasn't half bad.

i'd watch a movie where a facehugger attacks a predinator and then an army of predinataliens descend on detroit where robocop must fight them off with the grudging support of the railway children

this has a better chance if being good than any of them post T2 at least.

t3 was largely garbage but i did like the bummer ending, where the world-saving plan they've been following the whole movie turns out to be a ruse to force john into safety inside cheyenne mountain just as armageddon arrives.

genisys is one of the worst movies i've ever seen

once you get over that they will never top T1/T2 and just want to watch a time travelling robot movie it's not that hard to enjoy T5.

T4 was a slug, just visually a chore to watch. too many earth tones, too much daylight, instead of scary skeleton-looking robots it had amorphous Transformers.

T5 brings back the night time, the red 80s lasers, etc. the leads weren't amazing but who cares.

i loved the CGI young Arnold. yes its cheesy. not sure what people want from these dumb movies about time traveling robots.

For them to travel back to when there were dinosaurs, duh.

Termisaurus=Big Bux! no one has DONE time traveling cyborg dinosaurs, we'll make a million!

otm

also find it strange to think that anyone might have purchased tickets to a movie called "terminator genisys" expecting it would match terminator 1 or 2

i hope the new one returns the series a bit to its brutal cold dead tech industrial horror roots but i suspect not.

Hope this one is called Terminator: Revylashynz. In a heavy metal script, in front of a pentagram made out of Terminators.

I hope they bring back the T-1000000

Have they made one where we see the Terminator as a kid, if not can this one be the one where the Terminator is a kid because I want to see that.

the dude playing john connor was one of the worst performances i've even seen

they should do cgi to have edward furlong play the terminator as a kid and have him fight the dead kid who played darth vader as a kid. in the future.

wait, does everyone hate Avatar? i don't hate avatar. i've only watched it at home on the couch though. so the fact that its 4 hours long doesn't bother me.

also, the terminator as a kid could go into a space bar looking for young darth vader and humphrey bogart could be the bartender! they can totally do that kind of thing now.

ready terminator one

I don't hate Avatar, but it's a disposable movie that I don't ever want to think about again. I see no reason why it needs sequels.

It's a service to the future. If it doesn't have sequels then people will always wonder why there were no sequels.

Never watched captain planet and the smurfeteers cause of how incredibly bad and dumb it looked

i thought it was pretty good sci-fi. the story certainly resembled a lot of sci-fi i've read and enjoyed.

Avatar is a fine film, probably the best 3D I've seen until Valerian, but culturally it sunk like a stone - pretty much the only interesting thing to say about it is that it seems odd (and odder by the minutes) that the biggest US film ever had us cheering on the Viet Cong analogies.

hey so did Return Of The Jedi

c'mon, no one was cheering for the Ewoks

We were totally cheering for the Ewoks...to die.

your hate only makes them stronger

i really did like that new star wars movie that ends with the princess leaving the video in the robot. i would watch that again. so, i guess there are some exceptions when it comes to beating dead horses.

yeah most of the extra stuff is unnecessary - movie is tight af without it

Alternate old age makeup Sarah ending also kind of silly.

so dumb

great to read your happy parenting experiences, Josh :)

(and I can't imagine Carpenter has any regret over the effects in The Thing. apart from anything else, they're better than most of his subsequent films!)

the alternate ending is easily the worst thing about the movie. it’s written so terribly

xpost The only issue Carpenter had, iirc from the commentary track, is the brief bit of stop animation at the end, where the thing drags the dynamite away. Otherwise yeah, "The Thing" effects are impeccable.

re the alternate ending and the bad outtakes, at least we can happily say that Cameron made good choices at the time and is able to tell an effective story pretty succinctly.

I mean, I love Ridley Scott but in contrast I do get kind of irritated by his now self-parodying directors cuts. 'well I made a movie that was 5 hours long that told a beautiful story but the bastards at the studio would only let me release a 2 hour cut and so now it makes no sense'

I still do kind of want to see the director’s cut of Kingdom of Heaven though, lol

it’s really, really good

Tbf I don't think Cameron has ever called his alternate cuts director's cuts. I believe he stands by his theatrical versions, maybe even in the case of "The Abyss."

The longer Aliens cut is pretty solid even tho I really don’t dig the scene w/the colonists. It’s better to go into that place cold.

agree

For sure. Learning Ripley had a daughter changes the dynamic a bit, though.

hey! dark fate was surprisingly adequate for a sequel that had no reason to exist! a gentleman's 6/10, arnold looked great and was actually genuinely funny, mackenzie davis should be in everything, thanks for yr time

also i'm not gonna lie, watching an evil shapeshifting robot run amok through a border concentration camp and fillet a bunch of ice agents was extremely good

that's the first thing I've read that makes me want to see it. not enough mainstream movie sequences of cops getting owned (e.g. the bridge climax of the first nu-Apes or the wonderful chaingun shootout in the otherwise bleh Hold the Dark)

the heroes beat the shit out of ice agents too, you love to see it tbh

highway and prison camp setpieces were great.

but that plane/underwater sequence at the end was godawful.

thinking I could use some draperies

Yeah, carving through the border patrol agents like a knife was good stuff

This was good, this was bad. This was solid, this was OK. This was fine, this was boring. Maybe even in that order or maybe each at random times.

I was not expecting so much border stuff, I wish this movie had been smart enough to do something more interesting with it.

really enjoyed this!!!! wish literally anyone else had directed it, but as far as terminator sequels that don't need to exist go, this is the best one easy

yeah it starts out a little campy but has some impressive set pieces throughout. I enjoyed it on rewatch too.

I just watched Lady Terminator today and I don't know if I ever need to see another official Terminator entry after that ride.

I recall it fondly. Going to movies was the best.

saw Lady Terminator in a packed house at the Alamo last year, it was an absolute blast, def concur

Wait, which one are you calling Lady Terminator, this most recent one or Rise of the Machines?

I literally remember nothing about the most recent one except that it had some good parts, and some bad parts, and the bad parts were worse than the good parts were good.

Oh shit! Like, literally, "Lady Terminator!" I was in when I read that same first sentence.

lol Just Watch suggests, in order: Terminator, Terminator: Dark Fate, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Terminator Genisys, Terminator Salvation, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Lady Bird. It would be so awesome to program a Terminator series in that exact order with those exact films. You know, the *true* chronology, for the *real* fans.

(this was from searching for Lady Terminator)

Oh double shit, I tried watching the trailer for Lady Terminator, and this is what I got: "This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated."

!!!!

Don't spoil yrself with the trailer (which rehashes way too many quality moments). Just jump right in. It's somehow both LOL terrible and a pretty decent action movie (and the eye-removal scene features better SFX than the one in OG Terminator!).

Based on the landing strip set piece at the end, I'd be very surprised if someone involved with MacGruber hadn't seen and been inspired by this film.

We've been watching all 6 in order over the past few weeks. Despite loving 1 & 2 I had no idea there were actually this many sequels until recently. I think I enjoyed Dark Fate way more than it deserved because of how much we all really needed the og Sarah Connor as a lead - it was really refreshing and invigorating. And kind of funny! If not really having anything novel. Actually the idea of what Arnie would do after objective achieved was kind of interesting. They treated it as a bit of a handwave but an unexpected little idea. What I found odd was that the New Improved Terminator had the trick of splitting body from skeleton but they didn't really outline why/what the limitations were, which usually happens in these kind of films.

3 or 4 were the most boring. 4 was like a good showcase of killy machines but then you start wondering why a super AI killy machine system would bother making a motorbike version and sort of lost interest. 5 was kind of funny but too much of a lightweight reaction to the previous one and I couldn't get my head around the casting for the whole movie. John Connor was like Quentin Tarantino crossed with Chandler Bing.

The one with HBC as a computer head is the only one I try to forget.

all otm

5 was kind of funny but too much of a lightweight reaction to the previous one and I couldn't get my head around the casting for the whole movie.

Just started watching it, certainly a bold choice to cast Will Young as Kyle Reese.

Halfway through this - I have to watch films episodically at the moment. I wasn't expecting Terminator: The Sitcom but I'm all for it. The mild humour and timey wimey stuff was making me think of Doctor Who... and then Matt Smith showed up! Incredible.

do you have a baby or something? :)

Small children, yes. And a wife who doesn't want to waste her precious free time watching garbage SF.

There is a T5 thread, I'll save any further incisive commentary for there.
