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

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

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.
