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

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.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
