I like this poster but it would have been way better with just Arnold in it!
 
Agreed on both accounts.

But man...this movie is looking really bad. It got me thinking, I have a feeling we won't see sequels, and if they do give the rights back to Cameron does anyone think he would actually do anything with it?

I would love to see him at the helm but with how long it is taking him to get the Avatar sequels off the ground I just don't ever see it happening. Would he ever really want to do a George Miller and go back to the dark edgy rated R stuff?

See I worry that it will be bad but will also get sequels. I just have a feeling it will make enough to get at least one.
 
#checking in upon TG discussion hoping to find some positive progress regarding the movie

This movie feels like a litmus test to see if American audiences will truly just go see anything as long as it's a familiar brand. It's like some high-ranking studio executive stood up at the board meeting and said, "Let's just make the sh**tiest movie possible and see if enough people will go see it so we can keep pumping out sequels. Come on, it'll be fun."

They already did this at least once and called it Transformers 4.
 
I finally saw the trailer at the theater. It looks sooooooooo much cheaper than it already does on the big screen.

Especially when Fury Road plays right after.
 
The movie ultimately looks too clean and fake. The "grit" that a Terminator story should have is not there with what we've gotten from this film thus far.

They're like exhibit A and B for how to do and NOT do a reboot.
 
Actually, if he wasn't way too good for this, Tom Hardy could probably be an acceptable Kyle Reese.

Hardy, IMO, can be a badass whike also still being kind of everyman and not cardboard cutout meathead about it.

It's crazy. Like on my Mac, Terminator's cinematography was fine. But on the big screen it looks crazy cheap.
 
I really don't have high hopes for this movie, but I'm sure I'll man up and go check it out.

Tom Hardy could play Oprah and still do a good job, he's just great.

American audiences are starting to wise up, see Amazing Spider-man 2 last year. I think this is more a test for the international audience, they just eat up our crap movies.

It's always been an irony that China garnered most of the box office take for all four Transformers movies than we have put together.
 
It's not that ironic at all considering all the catering the film did to the Chinese marketplace. All the co-production stuff and financing.
 
I think Alan Taylor should bring in George Miller's wife to edit the film. Not to late to CALL her now Alan!

Call NOW, before it's to late!!!
 
^ Miller's wife had good material to work with. This movie almost assuredly does not. :(
 
My friend seen a rough cut of the film a few weeks ago and he couldn't tell me to many things cause he signed a waiver. He is part of the set-up crew. Anyhow, he said that the PUNKS scene in the version he saw was from a far off angle and that you see them from a far not up close. (I asked him about this cause this was a scene that worried me most because of the different actors) When the original Terminator is walking away in is a close-up of OLD Arnold getting ready to kick some ass. There was a temp voice-over used at the start of the film by a man explaining Judgement day and at the end setting up a sequel?. The version he saw used temp music from T2 and T3, no music from Terminator 1 or Salvation. Oh, almost forgot the movie begins in the future with Kyle being sent back, that is the opening scene. Take it with a grain but it was cool to actually hear a few things from someone.
