Terminator Salvation : The Future Begins


Recommended Posts

WOW you haven't even seen 100% of Terminator 2? Is the movie really not that good, to you?

Or you are just very busy guy? :p

Well it was before my time and up until now, I never really had much ambition to watch it. I think I understand a good part of the SkyNet business but maybe I can find a website that will give me a 5 minute read of each, maybe something like Wiki.

I have seen about 3/4's of one of the Terminator movies and I think it might have been the first one. I remember seeing that kid's mom go to snipe the guy who will invent SkyNet or whatever it is.

If I haven't seen anything beyond that, will be I be out of loop for this one?

You really should watch the Terminator 1 and 2 but it's not really required as far as timelines go, this is a prequel in some senses. If you aren't going to watch them, here are the important parts. John Connor sends Kyle Reese back in time to protect his mom. Kyle ends up fathering John while he's back in time. Arnold's model is the evil Terminator trying to kill her in the 1st. In the second he had been capture by John in the future, reprogrammed and sent back to protect him this time. They try to prevent the war from happening but fail.

Now Skynet is an AI created by the humans. When we tried to destroy it it got angry and decided to take control for itself. It realized humans try to kill everything so it viewed us as a threat so they decided to exterminate us and thats the war :)

Pretty much all you need to know. There's more to it but that should let you see the new movie and not be confused. Although there are a lot of little things in it that relate to the movies so if you saw them you'd like it more.

As for my tickets, Cineplex.com allows pre-ordering :D Not sure what theaters you go to. Check it out tho most do these days.

^ There will be classic Terminator music in it but some new stuff too. Also I did like that quote from T3 as well, especially how Arnie said it. My biggest problem with T3 was Nick Stahl. I really disliked him as Connor, granted after T2 he did fit the profile for "lil wimp bitch." I was hoping he'd grow out of that phase :)

Thanks, I like checking out the bad reviews most as I think it's gunna be amazing. Unlike that review I think its going to easily surpass T3's domestic gross revenue. I think it even has a chance to be the largest Terminator release as T2 only made 200 mil domestically compared to T3's 150. Hype is really strong so opening weekend it will dominate and most reviews are very good so I think it's going to do really well. Probably not Dark Knight numbers but certainly enough to give the studios no reason not to produce the trilogy.

I think she'll be better but I really don't like Clarie Danes much either, I know you do. Also big difference is the character, one was like Sarah in T1 and the other is more or less Sarah in T2. After the war and learning about everything.

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.

People don't hate Terminator 3 because they actually made Judgement Day happen, at least that isn't what I get from people, if anything the ending was one of the better parts of the film.

People don't like it because it wasn't that great of a film, wasn't anything near Terminator 2, was too cheesy, stupid lines, there is making fun of themselves in a film, plot was pretty bad in general.

But these are just my opinions. :p

I hated T3 because it came across as a parody of the franchise in places. The supposedly "funny" scenes seemed to "send up" the previous movies, making a mockery of them.

It got some great points across, and actually lead into a half-decent story once all said and done, but how it got there was lame.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
