Terminator: Genisys - Part 4

[Rowsdower!]

YESSSS! That's brilliant. Man, now I want a series of Funny or Die videos featuring Uncle Termie.

 

[Panthro]

I'd love to see them just say "F*** it" and make a series of Terminator movies where they send the T-800s back to time periods that don't make any sense at all. Like they send one back to kill George Washington and stop the American Revolution, so that the Brits would maintain rule over America and eventually be the ones who build Skynet. For some reason.

Oh that'd be fun. John Wilkes Booth was actually a Terminator which is how he got away with killing Abe Lincoln, JFK was killed by a Terminator, etc.

Ooh how about this, Skynet sends a Terminator back to the Hyborian Age to kill Conan the Barbarian (AKA: Conan the Cimmerian) because Skynet found some weird scrap of evidence indicating that Conan is a distant ancestor of John Connor (proving that bad ass is genetic) thus eliminating the Connors by centuries - only for Conan to pull the Terminator's head off with his bare hands and toss it down a volcano or something similarly crazy like that.

 

[Doctor Jones]

That's actually a very cool idea. Perhaps it's more of a conspiracy where people like Booth and Oswald were actually Terminators and it's some conspiracy where they are sent back through time to take out leaders who might pose a threat or influence someday.

Oswald as a Terminator is very strange though...

 

[bullets]

What are the odds of this thing becoming the next "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"? By that I mean a sequel that no one wanted or asked for that will be dismissed as a pointless attempt to revive a franchise, but then turn out to surpass every expectation?


Probably slim to none, right?

The trailer for Rise of the POTA had me intrigued. I was more excited about Terminator :Genisys before seeing the trailer. There's something very cheap looking about it for some reason. It could be fun though.

Haha yes!

They could also send a Terminator to 1987 Central America to capture the Predator alien and use its cloaking technology to enable Terminators to be stalk their prey without being seen. However, the T-800 inadvertently crosses paths with Dutch Schaefer and his team, who are also hunting the Predator.

In the end, Good Arnold kills everybody.

Ending:

We see two guys in a couch, watching the end credits roll. It's Jack Slater and the real Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Slater: "Haha, that's supervantastic!"

Arnold: "it's my best moovie yet. Doo yoo vanna watch Tyurminatah 3 naou?"

 

[terry78]

Why stop there? Send one back to the Renaissance and take out Da Vinci. Bam, no flying machines to assist in the fight.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

I want a Terminator/Reign of Fire/Batman/King Arthur crossover. John Connor sends a Terminator back in time to kill all the dragons, but he kills Bruce Wayne's parents instead. Bruce decides to become Batman, and tracks down the terminator. But before he can send Arnold to Arkham Asylum, the dragons appear. Fortunately, King Arthur wakes up, and they fight the dragons together.

 

[Teelie]

I just read they are going to break with continuity and make the T-800's Ken dolls where it comes to having anything resembling genitals. So instead of his either being well-endowed or tragically tiny, there is now nothing there to speak of which makes all those reaction shots of people who saw him naked seem inexplicable.

 

[Rowsdower!]

T-800: "If I had a d**k, I'd go get laid. So I guess I'll just have to do the next best thing. Kill people. Not you."

That's my hope - this whole Days of Future Past-esque timeline-reset is what had me intrigued from the start, as well as the whole going-back to the first movie. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing in film, although I understand how it's seen as a blatant erasure of the original continuity. We'll just have to wait and see IMO.

 

[Defacto]

First I was against this movie, but slowly it has grown on me. But then you read about these plot points like

Spoiler

John Connor is infected by nanobots and is basically the new terminator you get a glimpse in the trailer, he meets Sarah and Kyle in 1984 and gives them 24 hours to stop the judgement day, instead of killing them right there and then.

Hope it's not that stupid.

Spoiler

if thats true then this movie may be the worst in the series. Why would they make connor the new terminator and send him back in time?

Didn't they nix a similarly dumb idea with Salvation turning Connor into a Terminator?

That's all true except for one thing...

Spoiler

John encounters Sarah and Kyle in 2017, not 1984. That's when the new Judgment Day is supposed to happen. But yeah, John Connor is the main villain in this.

Basically, we start off with the same 2029 future we saw in the Cameron films but what shifts the timeline is...

(MAJOR SPOILER!)

Spoiler

The moment before Kyle Reese is sent back to 1984, John is attacked by a T-5000 and is infected with Nanobots. That's what shifts the timeline and creates a radically different 1984, for Kyle's arrival into the past.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Man, this sounds awful. Especially the rumors about

Spoiler

Arnold building a time machine and jumping into a pool of molten metal and turning into a T-1000.

My reaction to all the spoilers I've read on this page.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Awesome, isn't it?

 

[Rowsdower!]

If only the rights to Terminator would revert back to Marvel.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Yeah...and RoboCop. He could show up at the end credits.

RoboCop vs Terminator.

 

[chamber-music]

They should of got Caity Lotz as Sarah Connors. Lotz was badass in The Machine.

 

[Sithborg]

Lotz isn't exactly a better actress than Clarke, though...

 

[chamber-music]

I'm not saying she is a better actress. I just think Lotz would of made a cool Sarah Connors.

My reaction to all the spoilers I've read on this page.

So much how I'm feeling right now.

Wonder if they'd ever consider exploring how Kyle Reese feels about the pre-Terminator world... there was a deleted scene from the first film that touched on it, but of course it was deleted.
