Terminator Salvation : The Future Begins


Recommended Posts

Why is it every "reboot" of a sci-fi franchise has to do the timeline is screwed up thing now? First Star Trek is doing it, not Terminator?

Still, it looks awesome. Not sure about the actor who is playing Arnold's T-800 but hey I can forgive that one since Arnie is kinda busy.

Tell me about it. I REALLY love the grimy look it has. Something you never got to see in the previous films. Has a nice "real" feel while still staying Sci-Fi. I'm curious what the deal is with the human/cyborg that comes out covered in blood? and screams. Also did I see Johnny Boy with a son? ;)

From what I've seen from the trailer & what I've heard, how the hell did John Connor get so tough all of a sudden? He was still a wuss in the 3rd. Does this movie show his transformation into this great war leader?

Awesome trailer though. Has a bit feel of the griminess of the first movie & the coolness of the 2nd.

From my understanding this movie doesn't follow T3. It does to a certian extent yea but I don't think you can compare the characters between films. Bale's character most resembles John Connor from T1, a skinny, scarred John Connor, not kids or wimp Nick John Connors. I am curious how he becomes one of the army leaders when he never had a military past that we know of. Find it odd they'd let anyone in.

Nice article on /Film

On July 2nd, 2008, I was lucky enough to visit the set of McG?s Terminator Salvation. Is this James Cameron?s Terminator? No. And it isn?t trying to be. Terminator Salvation is very different animal, far different from the traditional Terminator chase story. In a sense it is a futuristic war film.

When I think of Terminator Salvation, I am reminded of the line in Star Wars - A New Hope when Obi-wan tells Luke about how he served beside his father in the clone wars. Star Wars fans obsessed over that one throw away line for over two decades before George Lucas finally decided to bring The Clone Wars to the big screen. And as we all know, the result was extremely disappointing. Its funny how one line can conjure a better vision than four films and a computer animated television show combined. I am reminded of this because the same thing could easily happen to the Terminator series .

Judgement Day, the future war between man and machines ? Cameron teased us with this in the first two films, and I don?t think anyone ever believed they would eventually see it on the big screen. As crappy as Terminator 3 was, the end twist got me excited for the possibility. And I understand that the name McG doesn?t instill confidence. Those of you who visit the site frequently have probably noticed how much I have been sticking up for the film, even before a second of footage was previewed to the public. The reason is that I saw everything up close and personal. I went to Albuquerque New Mexico very skeptical, and came back convinced that McG was the right man for the job, and that the result would be a fun action film, deserving of the Terminator name.

^ wtf is that from? Not only do the Terminators look like a scene from T1 or T2 can't remember which I think T2, but the movie isn't called T4 :s

I wondered how long it would take :p

Spoiler Movies is running that as a real poster, I feel they are high :laugh:

Finally, a terminator movie based on the events after Skynet pwned the world. All the other Terminator movies were about what happened before Skynet pwned the world.

    • EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
