I always liked the idea of a t-800 being sent back in time and is sent back too early... like I want to see a sky net perfection time travel - we, or at least I know nothing of how it managed that..
So imagine a movie where a t-800 is sent to the wrong century.. imagine hitler getting his hands on one, or the Roman Empire, Egyptians...
The terminator scans and realises he failed his mission, so tries to redeem it by finding the source of the blood line, i.e a Connor from a different era - he has no weapons or guns.. what does he do?
I also had this idea that there were other resistance teams, not just John Connor... and that John Connor was on a list of many warriors they wanted to terminate.. you can have a movie where it's in the 80's and another mother/father to a John Connor type was hunted. After all, that was probably the initial 'terminator' strategy and first wave of t-800's sent out.
Thats a really neat idea, but the problem would remain, just with a different setting.
A terminator back in time to hunt someone.
Its why dark fate doesnt really work, because its the same as always just with a different terminator and target.
Maybe a drastic change of setting would help, maybe have him hunt a group of 5-6 people...but the basic idea would still stay the same...and i dont know if that is good.
Terminator needs a change of style to be able to continue.
Terminator 3 already was very thin on the basic plot on this.
The ending was the best part. Everything else was more or less a rehash of T2.
Yeah, i mean T3 has some nice ideas but again...the basic plot can only work so many times before getting stale.
I liked Bale’s casting and he was a passable older Furlong. I just wish he had more attitude. Such a bland performance. They needed to bring more of that rock & roll edge to him.
Norman Reedus perfectly embodies that imo.
Bale had the talent but yeah, he was very bland.
Didnt help that he was more of a supporting character.
Oh Reedus as John Connor is a cool idea, i could get behind that
What is Furlong even up to these days? does he still have drug problems and all?
Is he even a good adult actor? I could see him with a beard and all playing a good enough adult John connor if his acting is there.
I know many of the actors have said they dont want to do another terminator movie, but i would love to see a huge universe mixing Terminator movie with all the actors from across all 6 movies.
That would be sweet, but highly unlikely.
Imagine seeing Rober Patrick back as a T-1000...would be super awesome.
