Terminator: Genisys - Part 3

[Alien Anal]

^ Though I have a feeling I already know the answer to this - What did you think? Good/Bad?

To be fair it wasnt the actual script so I didnt get any idea of dialogue but from what i read it seems pretty generyc :P

I guess thats the beauty of rebooting a time travel story, you can literally just reboot the whole story using time travel

The only thing I am interested in is seeing how they handle the color and tone of the film.

If anything i think this film will be the closest thing we will get to a Terminator film by Cameron purely by visuals alone (and the homages) but other than that itll be a mess like all the others post JC

I saw the review and this film Is almost destined to be bad.Arnold doesn't
have the appeal he once had.T3 back in 2003 made 150 Million domesticly
but that was Arnold pregovernor and his days as governor may be factor why
his films post governor aren't doing well.

WHen I get my copy of EW in mail I should know more.

But the script review sounds like total mess of film.

Why the hell is a Terminator driving a garbage truck in that first storyboard? Skynet can't figure out how to put a robot brain in a car?

As everybody's said so many times over the years, I think the time for a true, Cameron-esque Terminator 3 would have been in the mid-late 90's. Has anyone else read the T2 novelisation? The opening chapter (expanded, of course) would have been perfect. A prequel with Michael Biehn in the Future War, getting to know John, capturing and reprogramming Uncle bob, the resistance taking over Skynet's compound and sending Reese and Uncle Bob back to protect Sara and young John when they find the time displacement machine.

the original two movies were written and realesed in times when ''less is more'' was the gold standard. this new script fits into our times and how blockbusters are created.

we all know what the world wants from a new terminator movie. a simple basic summer blockbuster plot set in the future war. not at the beginning of the war with normal machine guns. give us a movie that is 50% future( in Genisys we will get Camron's laser guns) and 50% young Sarah Connor. its so simple soooooooooo simple.

And that's why all of the Terminator movies post T2 have sucked. T3 was just T2 with less likeable protagonists (Emo Adult John Conner and Bland Kate Brewster in place of Badass Sarah Conner and Young Punk John Conner), a less cool version of Arnold, and a lamer shapeshifting villain. Terminator Salvation had a chance to be that movie, but unfortunately, they didn't know what to do with John Conner, opting to have him sit in a basement through most of the movie listening to tapes of his mother while we spent most of the time following around a character we had no reason to care about who ended up dying in the end anyway.

And now we've got this film, which sounds like a mashup of Terminator 1, Terminator Salvation, and that 80s TV show Small Wonder (only reversed).

I might be alone in this, but I'm still excited for this. A lot of negativity regarding leaked plot and people being skeptical because it's the fifth movie. But I think after the third movie, and especially the fourth movie, the fact that we get a movie which ties more into the first two (the good ones) and has Arnold back.. even if this is not a 5/5 movie, I think it could still easily be the best sequel since T2. I don't see a chance of it topping the first two movies, but after T3 and Salvation, I think this will be great. At least I hope so.

 

[Terminator]

I have something positive to say.

I'm excited to see the 2029 scenes as I think they could end up being awesome.

 

[Jaspertian1105]

YES!!!

LOL so much win in that pic

 

[Galactus123]

I can't believe what I'm looking at. This is some seriously awful ****.

This looks like it could belong to an Asylum-produced Terminator knock-off.

Some of thoses are behind-the-scenes photos.

 

[Faora]

His face is just awful in this picture. He looks like he's doing an imitation of Imhotep from Stephen Sommers' Mummy franchise.

"Just look at this ****".

 

[terry78]

I just envision that as the Doctor Who adaptation via Hollywood. A phone booth, really? How the **** can he fight aliens with that? Give this ****er a gun.

[GRangerPrimeNYC]

I hope James Cameron or anyone connected with this film releases a chart or video explaining the Terminator timeline

 

[Donut]

It is funny 2 think that this studio was more worried about fans talking about a leaked plot. Fake or real instead of EW making this movie look even worse

 

[Galactus10]

I will be your terminator
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher, teacher
Show you how to snap a spine
I will be your terminator
I know how to plant a mine
I will be the one who comes from
A future time

Pardon my uncultured mind but what is this a reference to?

Well, it wasn't that bad to begin with so...

 

[Schlosser85]

Salvation wasn't as terrible as it's made out to be, but it was just kind of...there.

It was more just pointless than anything else.

Wasn't it supposed to be a trilogy, or am I misremembering things?

 

[Schlosser85]

There were supposed to be more, IIRC, but it under-performed at the box office, so plans were scrapped.

I also seem to remember Bale not having flattering words for it, talking about script rewrites and it not being what he thought he was signing up for, etc.

 

[dark_b]

Bale signed up for a movie where he was not the main character and with a smaller amount of screentime. his role got bigger because TDK in 2008 when TS was filmed broke records and became a big hit.

he needs to let it go

 

[Teelie]

The way I remember it they rewrote the ending of the movie after Bale came aboard/became a big name and altered the ending from Worthington's character literally donning John Connor's face and becoming the new face of the Resistence.

Not that this was the only problem that movie suffered but it definitely did not help they went and scrapped their entire original ending to go with this new one.

Isnt this too supposed to be a trilogy?
