Terminator Genisys

The posters are just so unbelievably cheesy. I can't understand how they'd get the nod. Terminator Salvation actually had some very decent posters that convey a good sense of dread and tone. I had been looking forward to this as a popcorn muncher but it's looking worse and worse with every new reveal.

I'm willing to bet the whole John Connor (Jason Clarke) being a Skynet Terminator infilitrator is a ruse and there's something else going on entirely new to the saga. I don't believe they'd be THAT blatant with the spoilers, as bad as marketers can be in 2015

If I remember correctly:


Matt Smith who is barely talked about and hasn't been seen AT ALL

is in fact John Connor

This supposedly popped in one of the early drafts:

Or Skynet

is an synthetic alien intelligence, its origins a mystery

Exactly!

The only reason I'm remotely interested in this is to see what the real twist is because what was shown in that trailer would definitely have qualified as a big "Woah, wait, what?" moment (that's to say if any of the initial trailers inspired confidence in what was being done)

If I was to hazard a guess and it's speculation, but just in case

She has two kids? Or the John from T2 and the John from this timeline both end up existing in this movies future timeline. Somehow, one gets corrupted - how? because SCIENCE

Even the way she's holding it, it a huge chunk of steel. It must weigh like 10-15kg at least, yet she's holing it like an orange.

Plus, why are its eyes red? Is it still alive?

Ridiculous poster

Just think happy thoughts people, it could be great :pac:

The eyes fade out to darkness, they don't shut off immediately. Maybe it's in the direct aftermath of her ripping its head off like she was picking a cherry! :pac:

I'm going to put my neck on the line and say this movie will pleasantly surprise many. It's not going to surpass the originals but could be a fun action movie that's not nearly as derivative as the marketing team are making it out to be, the glimpses of the non linear timeline as seen in the trailers would suggest the plot is at least attempting something different and not just replicating the story structure of T2.

Different can be good, but it has to be different because it's worth being different. The trailers have not convinced me that the changes they've made are going to be good ones. Also, aside from the changes, the whole tone of the movie is a far cry from what the Terminator series was originally about.

Going by the trailers, this doesn't look all that different anyway. They've got double the Arnie T-800. They've got an Asian T-1000 (gotta hit the lucrative asian markets). They've got a "new advanced" Terminator (just like T3). We're back to the beginning with Sarah Connor. It's a rethread of old ground so far. The "different" bit is some seriously convoluted timeline messing plot twists that look like twists for the sake of it because the makers are trying to be clever. Maybe it'll surprise and the new timeline stuff works but so far the signs are bad.

I'm out. It clearly breaks my 3 villains rule that has been firmly in place since Batman and Robin, the film sounds cluttered and the way the trailers seem determined to hit every pop culture beat from the first two films,( look he said I'll be back! don't you just love it!) makes it look like unlikely to have an original bone in it's celluloid body. There's more then a whiff of the Robocop reboot about this. In other words, a tedious, passion free CGI explosion fest and a thudding bore.

New TV spot just released.

Arnie looks weird there

I've seen so many trailers and tv spots that I think I've seen the movie already.

I love Arnie delivering his "I did not kill him" line like Tommy Wiseou delivering his "I did not hit her" line in The Room.

No wonder this movie looks so God damned terrible. It's ****ing rated 12A a-****ing-gain. I am so ****ing sick and ****ing tired of this bull****. Although we shouldn't be surprised, the marketing made it look like an awful 12-****ing-A sell out cash grab piece of **** movie. At least we know now we can skip this bull-****ing-****.

Lol. Knew it was coming. Waiting for it to release online it is then.

TerrorFirmer

I wouldn't be overly bothered by the 12A rating. T3 was 12A and that was a decent movie. Not the sequel we wanted but not a disaster either, unlike Salvation. Ending was great.

I take it that all the people crying about the 12A rating would have boycotted and cried about T2 given that it was edited so as to receive a 15 cert when first released.

Except in T2 you had actual horror and danger from the T1000 with plenty of deaths, this will get to 12A by using the old Marvel trick of thousands of rounds fired without hitting anything or having no effect on the rare occasions they do hit something and nobody will die unless its some kind of bloodless heroic sacrifice.

I was too young to see it when it came out. I saw the movie when it hit Laserdisc.

Let's not forget our heroes Kyle and Sarah being Immortal and walking away from **** that would put a normal person in the hospital, without a scratch.

And I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact that he is close friends with the star and writer of this movie. This feels like the studio are panicking.
