Just had a few listens, and am NOT a fan of the new soundtrack. Never liked Danny Elfman's work anyhow - but compared to how the Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles deals with the themes, this just comes off as "typical" to me...

Lots of T3 haters here, and I really don't understand why. Ok, maybe a couple scenes were a little corny, but c'mon. They nuked the planet! How do you expect to go from T2 to T4 without Judgment Day? I can't wait to see T4, but I have a couple suspicions about it that I may not really like if so much if I'm right. I'll have to reserve judgment until I've seen it, and Christian Bale rocks, so I'll probably enjoy it regardless, it'll just be a matter of degree.

Like Corris said, the ending was one of the better scenes the overall movie was just not nearly as intense as the previous one's. While T1 was the best as far as story goes imo. T2 was a great thriller and great scenes. T3 seemed to be trying to hard to be like the previous movies. Plus I believe T4 has an intro that explains what happened that lead to judgement day so T3 wouldn't be "required" Anyone who gets to see it feel free to tell us if there's an intro describing what happened before we get to 2018. I won't get to see it until Thursday like normal people! what a jip!

Everyone says it needs Arnie but haven't seen it. Wait til you see to say if he needed him or not. Besides his character is in it regardless of brief it is!

And hell ya Tech, 3 more!!! :woot: My damn car battery is being drained slowly, I gotta take it to the mechanic tomorrow, can't have it dying on me in the middle of the night after the movie. That'd be rather unpleasant.

Btw, it'd be pretty funny if Skynet were real and the internet was created to deploy it everywhere. Talk about being screwed :p

Naw, I'll like them both but Michael Bay will keep me from loving it. There will be that scene or 2 that you just think the whole time, Bay forced them to include this :laugh: Those reviews are pretty brutal but I have faith :yes: The first few reviews a week ago said it was good but maybe too much action. I'll reserve judgement until I see it.

I saw a sneak preview last night and it was awesome. I wish Christian Bale would burn in hell still though. Yes he's a great actor, but after the incident with the stagehand and him bitching him out for like 3 1/2 minutes, I'm convinced he's a total jackass and I wouldn't want to meet him if I had the opportunity. Not to mention, seeing the guy go from the physique he had from first, Equilibrium, to the Machinist, Then from the Machinist to Batman Begins, I'm convinced the guy is on steroids. His outburst on set shows that too.

Aside from that, he was alright in the movie and not the star by a long shot. I think it was better than the other 3.

Arnold makes an appearance too. Just wish he didn't make the appearance in the nude. :-|

I hope the story is a lot better than the last one because it sucked... from the trailers I have seen it looks to be a good film, but trailers work in a way to get you out of your seat and make you go an watch the film, by craming all the best bits into the film and then when you actually watch the film it's utter ****?

The writers are the same as T3 but the director is McG who I think is a great director and probably the best person for this film. Some viewers might be going...

:huh: go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McG"]here

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      In the way that you framed it incorrectly. You wrote: "The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install" There's no "constant need to close all browser sessions". That's factually incorrect. The browser downloads its updates in the background and installs them when you open it again. Silently. And there's no "wait for a new version to install", updates are small and take 2-3 extra seconds AT MOST, if any. If you have an SSD, there's zero extra time. Also, every mainstream browser operates this way. Firefox, the FOSS go-to browser, the default on almost every Linux distro, does exactly the same. Also, you don't need to constantly restart Edge for updates to install, you can completely ignore them and it doesn't even ask you to handle them, it's all silent and automatic. So I don't understand what else do you want.
