They lost me at a grey haired Arnie headbutting a helicopter.

 

I'll still see it though :laugh:

 

 

 

you need to remember  that  That the Terminator  has living tissue over an exoskeleton  so based  on this film it ages as a human would .

 

 

Look  Skynet send  back a terminator to kill johns mother   and so  John accepts  Kyles   volunteering to go back and save her well  he sends him back  but  Nothing changes  john still remebers everything   so he then  sends back   reprogrammed   T Model 800   to  protect and Train a child Sahra Conner   and by the time Kyle   makes it to 1984 assuming that is the  year   in the new film  the Timeline has altered  and Changed

essentially John was trying to reboot himself by re-educating his own mother.

Oh, i understand that. It was more of the fact he jumped out of a helicopter to headbutt another helicopter.

The grey hair just looked silly.

It concerns me that they've gone to a lot of effort to stomp all over a lot of the same territory that the old (good) films already covered. The fact that everyone has been recast also irks me. It looks like a Terminator film crossed with a teen coming-of-age movie. Hopefully I'll be wrong, but I'm worried now. Arnold should have stayed out of this one :/.

Graphically though it looked very impressive.

Yeah it definitely won't be as good as T1 and T2 but I will still probably enjoy it for what it is... a bit like robocop 1 and the reboot, robocop 1 is one of my all time favourite films but.... I also loved the new robocop for its own reasons.

 

Heck, it can't be any worse than T3!!!! :p

That's what I thought about AvP2 :P

Eh, T3 was a fine action movie though a fairly mediocre Terminator movie. It's certainly better than 4 was. That 15 minute long (give or take a few minutes lol) car chase with the TX controlling those cars remotely and Arnold chasing in a bike then a firetruck - was worth the price of admission alone. Epic chase scene. Almost on par with the car chase in Matrix 2.

Ugh why can't they leave Terminator alone. Don't get me wrong it'll be good to have arnie 'back' for one last time but they're grinding these movies into the ground :(

If the reboot follows the story of the originals, then I'm not interested in seeing the same 1984 movie with todays actors. I'd rather see a different take on the 1984 movie.

That's so wrong and yet says it so correctly.  I was thinking the exact same thing.

So you agree with me  :laugh:

 

 

Off topic and sorta on topic, 

 

Can anyone tell why, why the heck doesn't skynet just send a bazillion killer machines and end it? why send one by one?

hopefully this will be the last one, if not someone needs to do a Format c: /u - a low level format, or pull the plug and make sure it has no UPS, cus seriously this ###### is getting old, trailer makes it look watch able, but I doubt I would drop the sort of cash that is required at a cinema now a days

 

If I read and heard the trailer right they are maybe gonna stop Judgement day all together so yeah it very well could and prob is the last one.

bazillion machines does not equal a trilogy! Once the machines actually take over, they'll add your comment to their code and do just that. You'll live forever as the architect of mankinds demise. Kudos to you sir!

 

On Topic: The trailer looked interesting (http://youtu.be/62E4FJTwSuc), but... I think I could have done with the line.

Yup in terms of action, T3 was very good but everything else about it was bad imo

 

- the guy playing john connor was awful, just came across as a weakling and his future wife/GF was terrible too

- the humour i.e. the sunglasses and talk to the hand sort of things had no place in a terminator film

 

Personally I loved T4! :p Although I was hoping for more of the future like we seen in T1, T2 and T3 flashbacks :(

I think what irks me is this whole pseudo "darkness" they try to portray in a brightly coloured, glossy movie.

 

The thing with T1 and T2 was the chilling impending doom that cloaked everything. This is what was lacking from T3 and T4 (even though i liked it) didn;t paint the fall of humanity to the machines to be quite as grim as T1/T2 made us imagine it to be. One of those examples of leaving something for the imagination to terrify you with.

    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel.
