Terminator: Genisys - Part 5

[amazingfantasy15]

Well you know we can't tell if the film is too convoluted, confusing or busy when we haven't seen it yet. No reason to make comments like this at the moment. The marketing team knows what they are doing. I disagree with the approach, but it works.

That's what people always say about movies that look awful. Well, you haven't seen it yet, wait for the finished product. Amazing Spider-man 2 looked like a convoluted mess from the trailers and guess what, the final product was a just that. Green Lantern, Catwoman, Fantastic Four, all looked pretty bad from the trailer, we waited for the final product and guess what they were all bad.

These marketing teams are picking the best parts of the movie to be in the trailer to entice audiences, however, the trailer has no enticing parts, just crap. Now, they're getting desperate so they're showing a big "oh damn" moment hoping that will generate interest and it's a bad "oh damn" moment and it's falling flat too. I love the first two movies, but this franchise needs James Cameron, people think it's Arnold, but they're wrong, Cameron is what made it great.

Looks like a screenshot from a sitcom.

C'mon, that's an insult for the sake of an insult.

It's a non descript shot of three punks together. It could be anything. It could be from SLC Punk.

It actually does, yeah.

 

[Alien Anal]

Paramount Japan uploaded five TV spots to their Youtube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/user/ParamountJapan/videos

The first video they uploaded has a quick shot of the punks in 1984. Maybe it's a fanboy thing to complain about but I wonder why they gave the Shao Kahn punk a mohawk, which the character didn't have in the original.

The third spot has

Spoiler

Dyson talking about CyberDyne "revolutionizing technology with the ultimate killer app, Genisys".

why is the lighting making it look like How I Met Your Mother? its an expensive holllywood movie. are they joking?

What dark_b said is the exact reason on why I think it looks like a screenshot from a sitcom.

Good Lord that looks awful...

Evreytime this thread get's bumped I'm thinking "Oh man what crap have they released now"?

 

[Octoberist]

The good ole 80's when punks for whatever reason were always used as thugs.

There is no excuse whatsoever for that bland as hell work, especially when the movie that your scene is supposed to be remaking is so much moodier. Ugh. Considering that alan taylor directed episodes of game of thrones, one of the most beautiful tv shows I've ever seen, and the fact that i thought one of Thor 2's strengths was the look, i am very disappointed so far in this film's look among other things. It just looks so bland.

 

[Octoberist]

That's the problem with all of the reenactments of this film.

Because they can't pull a Back to the Future Part 2 and reuse footage from the previous movie, it ruins the ambition that they were going for.

If you don't already know what makes James Camerons Terminator films so good then I suggest having a look at this page and seeing all the thought and effort that goes into a good film.

Did not know that T2 was nominated for best cinematography. Man I've loved the look of that movie since I was little and didn't know the meaning of the word cinematography.

 

[Alien Anal]

It is an amazing looking film.

I shall now pour over that web page. Good linking, AA.

If I hear anyone talk about an "ultimate app" again....

(Sorry, is it clear I work in tech?)

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Wait so they changed one of the punk characters hairstyle for what reason exactly?

They did what? How dare they?!

I don' t know how I can go on.

 

[TWayneP]

Wait so they changed one of the punk characters hairstyle for what reason exactly?

It's an alternate time line so the punk decided to style his hair differently.

 

[Asr]

Wow the design of that Terminator head really sucks. The face looks off and the teeth are atrocious.

Seriously, compare that to T2's:

 

[Octoberist]

Yeah, I think it's due to the 'brow' and the teeth. The new one looks like it's smiling.

 

[747]

The cinematography might even be a big reason for some of the effects and designs looking so flat and unconvincing, though it's probably faults on both sides bringing the terrible looking end result. Like no cinematography in the world can save that silly looking Terminator skull design.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Just had a look at who is doing the Cinematography and it's guy called Kramer Morgenthau. He's worked on mostly TV but did work on Thor: The Dark World.

 

[Tim_Riggins]

Also did Chef (great movie, but pretty flat visually), don't expect much then. Thor TDW looked really bland (as do most Marvel movies anyway).

Terminator Genisys like those two is another one of those movies shot on the Alexa, and it has that unappealing cleanness, clarity & kind of unified aesthetic to it. Sigh.......
