Terminator: Genisys - Part 6

[antsman41]

Just stop forever...

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah definitely with Looper. "Rian Johnson should do a terminator film" ran through my head when watching that movie.

So that the time travel aspects would be just as inconsistent and nonsensical as they appear to be in Terminator: Genisys?

 

[Gold Samurai]

They should leave it the **** alone, like they should have done after T2.

Maybe if the movie fails once James Cameron gets the rights back he can ignore 3,4 and 5


That's a lot to ignore too. More than the Jurassic Park franchise

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah but why would Cameron ignore TG? He "loved" it, remember?

Paramount wants you to use your phone in screenings of Terminator: Genisys

Alright Millennials, it looks like you have won. With the announcement that Paramount will promote cell phone use in certain screenings of TERMINATOR: GENISYS, the sanctity of the movie theater is dead. With the streaming and on demand markets infringing on box office revenue, studios are searching for whatever avenues they can to keep butts in seats. This latest ploy may push cinema fans away while bringing the social butterflies of the world out in droves.

The game will be playable via a closed WiFi network at IMAX screenings of TERMINATOR: GENISYS in New York, los Angeles, San Francisco, and Boston. The current test will only happen at AMC theater locations. The game puts players into the role of Resistance fighters. They will be randomly placed into four teams and fight Terminators in gameplay set at three different settings in the film. The winning team at each showing will get a collectible TERMINATOR: GENISYS poster. The app and game are completely free. The current game model will play from July 1st through 3rd.

Audience Entertainment CMO Adam Cassels had this to say about the game:

“This is a true breakthrough for the movie industry. Video games are a multi-billion dollar industry, and merging that with the movies in a way that’s interactive, fun and truly memorable is a very exciting proposition for an industry seeking to innovate. This breakthrough may be equally exciting for the video game industry. The movies offer the very best in screen and sound while providing audiences with a first of its kind, collective, in-person gaming experience.”

What.The.Unholy.**** is this ****?

 

[I Am The Knight]

Wow, that's just wrong.

 

[MrMaooz]

 

[Lencho01]

Didn't some other company or studio try something like this a few years back?

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

The only way to make this franchise relevant again is to try something new using the concepts.

Have Skynet and Terminators and a human resistance and build an new story with new characters. And maybe drop time travel as it complicates things too much.

Wish they'd have done that with Spidey. A new take, something different like 2099 or Noir rather than the same again

 

[dark_b]

in the clip. why did they use CGI for a shot where the the terminator runs. why not use the boudy double? its a basic shot. he runs like a CGI spiderman.

Some will think this is blasphemy, but I expect a soft reboot or total reboot of this franchise in the next decade. Its time to expand this franchise beyond Messiah John Connor and his mama. Theyve shown they cant do anything good with those two so leave them alone and do something else with the franchise.

 

[Mr.T]

Is that explicitly explained here? That it's multi-dimensional?

The Sarah Connor Chronicles establishes a multiverse/multiple timeline Terminator world. There are supposedly different versions of Skynet, all interacting with each other, manipulating each other's timeline.

So the reviews are in and, surprise surprise, the movie is awful.

So the reviews are in and, surprise surprise, the movie is awful.

Only four reviews are posted on RT.com, and all are rotten. Im guessing this finishes somewhere around 20%.

Rotten Tomatoes is showing that 98% want to see it so I dont think it will have an awful opening weekend, but its likely to lose at least 60% of its audience in its second weekend. So this could end up bombing.

Fixed.

Uh...this is kind of a "soft reboot"...although I never understood that term, anyway.

If this one doesn't work, I expect this property to go off the market for at least a decade...

Schwarzenegger was clearly needed to get this any momentum at all...we all saw what happened when he didn't appear in the last one...

The general audience inherently identifies Arnold with Terminator, and needs him to be there...if this one isn't a success, I think both he and the property will head out to pasture.

^ ... Until JimCam himself reinvents it.

No property goes out to pasture anymore they simply go on temporary leave. Its easier to reboot or use a preexisting property than create a new one. So if this one fails expect to see another Terminator film at some point in the next decade or two.


And a soft reboot is — movies or shows that take place in the original universe, but strategically ignore or downplay previous stories to push the franchise in a different direction without radically violating "established" continuity.

Age of Extinction is an example.

Genisys doesnt really fit the definition of a soft reboot. It references past events, violates continuity, and involves the same characters the past films have. Its simply a sequel that, like every terminator film before it, slightly alters the timeline.

 

[Serpico Jones]

The clips that have been released online show scenes that feel horribly directed. Looks like Kevin Feige was right to boot Alan Taylor off Thor. He appears to be a hack.

 

[Val_Zod]

Gotta see this opening weekend to get my thoughts, though these early reviews dont inspire much confidence.

What.The.Unholy.**** is this ****?

That’s what that was about?

I went to see Jaws at the AMC Empire in NYC tonight, and there was a special screening of Terminator going on there too. A guy was telling people going into the screening about some wifi code they needed to use.

I tried getting wifi in the theater before my movie started, and noticed there was one called ‘Terminator’, which took you to a game or something in the Apple store. I figured it was a game, I didn’t realize they were supposed to play it during the movie.

I also heard that apparently Schwarzenegger was at the theater for the screening too. Sorry I missed him, but I did see Jaws, so it all worked out for the best.

I forsee this going wrong. Someones going to show up and miss the announcement about phones being encouraged and about the time 50 tweens pull out there bright phones someones gonna throw a fit or end up starting a fight.

 

[danoyse]

I just want to send a Terminator back in time to kill that idea before it was conceived...
