I think it was already out, there are midnight screenings tonight though. Can't wait to see it tomorrow. Car is fixed, 1100 later :( Least I can see Terminator now, yeeeeeeeaaaaaa :rofl:

Funny how that guy dissed T3 hard :laugh: I did like how McG compared it to the new Bonds and Batmans. Both excellent reboots. Shame they had to bring up the Charlie's Angels bit though. He's probably trying so hard to get away from that.

Why is he trying to get away from Charlie's Angels?

Also, I can't wait! Release day tomorrow and I will be watching it on Friday! :D

Charlie's Angels isn't exactly something you'd like to be known for, its not like Batman Begins or Dark Knight now is it? Things haunted him for years, always "the guy who directed Charlie's angels?!" I'm sure he'd rather it was, the guy who made that badass new terminator?!

I'll be looking forward to getting off work to go see it, I should have picked an earlier showing :s

Hopefully it will really be a good movie unlike T3

fixed :p

I''ll be happy as long as it matches T3, which was a fun actioner. This looks like it could be a fun actioner as well, albeit no having Arnie is a big, big minus. Anyone who thinks it can even possibly go near the first two are delusional.

Or what?

Or he'll punch you.

I've been reading a lot of the reviews, and it seems it's just the typical sci-fi bashing. A lot of reviews are actually mad that McG took a serious approach without any humor, which I find odd. Did they really expect Terminator: Charlie's Angels?

It was pretty good. Lot of easter eggs I guess in Tribute to the orignial films. Wasn't as badass as I thought it would be, but defiently a must buy. Whoever played Macrus defiently did better than Christian Bale and any other actor in there, IMO.

Saw a midnight release at a local theatre.

I just got back from a midnight showing and I thought it was great. The acting was superb and the special effects were top-notch. I'd give it a 4 out of 5. It's definitely up there with The Terminator and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines; however, Terminator 2: Judgement Day is still the best.

Yeah IMO T3 was Great, don't know why people don't like it.

Yeah I try to respect critics, but they are many of them so NARROW minded they don't see certain 'good' in movies. They are almost always harsh on movies that's serious and not much humor (At least not the humor that's for mature adults)

I haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't yet judge whether the acting or the directing was great, or movie lacks humor you know.

But by Tomorrow night, I will know!

You put 1 and 3 on the same "par"?

I can see where he is coming from. In T1's time there would be no comparison but judging from a present standpoint, I think I would get about the same level of enjoyment from re-watching T1 as I would T3. T1 just feels too old and cheesy now.

I saw it yesterday, and I thought it was pretty damn good. Not a midnight showing thank God, or else I'd be in a coma here at work right now. There are a few things that I didn't like, most notably that the Terminator "theme" wasn't anywhere in the movie. But the CGI was perfect and the acting was great. Can't complain about much.

I also agree with what others have said. T4 is great, but it doesn't match T2. It's definitely way better than T3 though.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
