Terminator Salvation : The Future Begins


Recommended Posts

I saw this and thought wow!

Hey folks, Harry here again... The above was posted by AICN's Behind-The-Scenes God, RoRo - as Time-Warner knocked out my internet this morning in a widespread pre-emptive strike to attempt to silence the news that Bruce Wayne was John Connor... But I want y'all to think about this for a second. McG has done more than just CHARLIE'S ANGELS - his film WE ARE MARSHALL was a very solid and tonally realistic film. Personally - I love what McG did with CHARLIE'S ANGELS - it was fun, kinetic and exactly what that version of CHARLIE'S ANGELS should be. Then there's the fact that he cast the T-1000 in WE ARE MARSHALL - which means, probably, he's a fan of T2 - or just has the coolness to just recognize that Robert Patrick is the ****. Either way - He's managed to cast Christian Bale in TERMINATOR SALVATION - and that's pretty huge.

We know Bale takes his **** seriously. And if you saw 3:10 TO YUMA... just imagine him coming out of his mountain and beginning the process of taking out SKYNET. With Bale as Connor - that means that we have a great chance that McG is pulling a chair up and will deliver. It all depends on that script... it is obvious we're dealing now with an adult, GREAT MILITARY LEADER storyline ... How he got the remnants of civilization together, trained them, armed them and began a guerilla war that eventually, we hope, brings down SKYNET.

I for one am anxious as hell to see this done right. Let's hope.

I hated Batman till I saw Bale as Bruce so he could put new life into Connor.

Another terminator no Arnold tho? then it will suck.

The flabinator would have to hit the gym and steriods hard... I don't think his aging body would be up to it. Though, it would be cool to see the pre-cyborg models with artifical skin over exoskeleton that were made to look like Arnold though...

ahhh just leave it like that, good memories of t1 and t2 no more......... no real need for a sequel.

sequels for the film are more a financial interest and approach than real love to the franchise, it just deteriorates and crappens the whole franchise.

and a remake?????, like T3 rerise of the machines unscrewed version directed by James Cameron

kidding

just my opinion, I think the terminator franchise is great but I woulnd't like to see it crappened like star wars or something.

peace

By something, do you mean Indiania Jones IV ? :)

George Lucas, great prospector and gold digger of ticket sales... where is Willow II btw?

I personally never liked Bale in Batman, but I think that was a dislike of the film as a whole rather than Bale. For me, Batman was Michael Keaton in the two films he did as the Dark Knight - I didn't expect the new Batman to be a 'rewrite' sort of thing.

However, I agree that Bale is a superb actor. Watched the Prestige recently and was completely suckered into it. I like the sound of this rumour a lot.. bodes well for a worth successor to T1 and T2!

Maybe they could work Arnie in somehow that he was a human that was used by Skynet to model its droids on. Like someone who is part of the resistance who works with Connor, that is captured early on and experimented on and subsequently used as the 'mold' for the Terminator. Far fetched but I think Arnie deserves to be written into the story somehow.. he really owned the Terminator role as far as i'm concerned.

I don't really think Arnold is needed for the next terminator movie, sure he's cool and all, but the next one is probably set before the machines can mak human like terminators anyway. And they've finally moved past the repeating crap time travel stories so.

IMO they should forget T1| ever existed, T1 and T2 is the same damn movie except T2 looks better and has cool effects. T3 finally moved the story forward and finally moved us up to the Machine war. and Since T4 will be all about the machine war, I can't see how it can suck :) as long as it's got cool machines and humans shootign at each other like the T2 glimpes of the future war. it's all good.

Good news, Bale never dissapoints.

Like everyone else, T1 and especially T2 hold a special place in my heart. T3 was, eh, mostly unnecessary, but the last 5 minutes of it made the whole unnecessary romp worth it... the destruction of the human race finally ****ing began!

As for T4, I think an Arnold cameo would be more than adequate. I've been waiting since I was a kid for a film version of that old arcade gun game (where you fired uzis at the machines in the future machine war), and I'm all for a newly envisioned trilogy. Think of the possibilities: new characters, new story lines, new technologies, and of course, Terminator style action sequences. So like someone else already mentioned, in my eyes, it all depends on that script...

I feel the opposite, ever since Bale is Bruce I can't stand Batman... lol

Well it's more the storyline in that movie, he isn't that bad of an actor, but it didn't suit him.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
