    Oh Sweet Lord this has gotten me excited.

    Arnie has just posted it on social media. As soon as I get an embed link I will add it here.

    I was a bit iffy (yet still excited) about this one but the teaser (the 2nd one) has got me thinking of T2 all over again.

    The main trailer is out tomorrow :D

    EDIT:



    There are 2 teasers?


    And is...is that hand CGI?...Please don't be a CGI hand

    Well what I thought was a teaser trailer is actually just a 'moving poster' apparently...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    There are 2 teasers?

    This one is just the teaser for the teaser that's out tomorrow. Because... um... nah, I've no idea.


    I've got no hopes for it really but not a bad looking 10 seconds so far.

    Same as the new RoboCop more than likely, will look flashy and modern with some decent visual effects but be too limited by the ridiculous choice to keep the age rating down to live up to the action that made the originals great. Really don't understand why every movie has to cater to kids nowadays, especially remakes and reboots since the fans of the originals are obviously all adults now

    Money. More people will see it. Although theres plenty of ten year olds and younger playing
    call of duty so maybe its ok for small kids to see gore and bad language??!!
    And another thing thats been bothering me with this franchise. The constant referencing to older classic bits of the terminator movies grates with me a bit. Just get on with it into new ground and leave the classics where they are!!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    The film may yet surprise, and as ever it's best to maintain some semblance of an open mind, but god I can't stand that title.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 53 ✭✭Sonic Death Monkey


    I don't care what it's called. Or how bad the trailer might be, like Jurassic World and SW VII, I'm damn, damn excited to see Arnold in a Terminator movie that I hope will be worthy of the first two.

    Yeah, money's the biggest reason. They're running businesses after all but there's a line where it just gets ridiculous. I don't know much about the movie studios who make the highest grossing movies but surely the largest ones do enough blockbusters that earn enough for them to think, "okay, we'll take a bit of a gamble here and release an 18s movie with lots of violence and adult content or an entirely new concept that'll get people talking like we used to".

    Full trailer up. looks ok!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,915 ✭✭✭brevity


    Hmmm...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,597 ✭✭✭dan1895


    I've seen sequels sh*t all over original films in the past but Jesus Christ that takes the biscuit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,286 ✭✭✭SouthTippBass


    Who ever that girl is playing Sarah Connor, shes not fit to fetch Linda Hamiltons coffee. She is a terrible Sarah Connor.

    I have low expectations.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 224 ✭✭Giggernaut


    It looks and feels like a big budget rehash of the previous Terminator movies focused mainly around Arnie and T2 nostalgia. I'll be delighted if it turns out otherwise.


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Have to say that it looks pretty damn good, the kind of big budget nonsense that will be perfect fodder for some lazy summer viewing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,845 ✭✭✭py2006


    Very little Arnie too

    That's Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones I think.

    She should stick to Game of Thrones.

    Wow, I genuinely kept myself open to being surprised, but that looked pretty terrible by all accounts; Arnie looking even more ludicrous than I thought he might. The design of the time machine was pretty cool to be fair, but the rest of the trailer just stank of the Greatest Hits of Terminator 1 and 2. And Jai Courtney was as out of place as every other film he pops up in. I'm sure this'll still make lots of money of course...

    Ah jesus even I have to concede that was shocking. Emilia seems particularly poor.

    I've seen bad trailers make good films though (Dredd for one) so all is not lost.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭Falthyron


    I am very confused by that trailer. So, this isn't a reboot? Arnie as a terminator survived and has spent time protecting Sarah Connor waiting on Kyle Reece to arrive so they can work together to take down a 1980's Arnie Terminator and a T-1000 that was sent to kill Sarah Connor?

    I'm not taking the píss, I am honestly confused about the story. :confused:

    Ok, I just watched the trailer again. So, old Arnie and Sarah have already taken care of 1980's Arnie terminator.

    Right... Yeah, ok. Is this going to be rated 12's as well? I think I will be skipping this...


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,292 ✭✭✭Jumboman


    There is something about Arnie that he just doesnt have the charisma he once had back in the 80s and 90s. I think he should give up acting his days of being a leading man are over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,814 ✭✭✭fluke


    This franchise does not know what to do with itself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Far too much cringe in that trailer for my liking, overall seems like it could be entertaining though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,013 ✭✭✭SirLemonhead


    It can't be worse than the TV show at least!

    Also confused as to the time line and where it did in with the first 2...

    Looks a bit rubbish to be honest. :( Like a homage to the first 2 movies. Kyle in the dept. store, "come with me if you want to live", chase with the armoured vehicle...

    Emilia Clarke hasn't delivered her lines well.

    It's like a Terminator movie for the sake of it.

    I really hope I'm wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,915 ✭✭✭brevity


    I've had a think and decided I don't like it. The actors, apart from Arnie (who looks too old), all look too young. I know its silly but they are.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 53 ✭✭Sonic Death Monkey


    From Arnold's post on Facebook:

    "Terminators don't wait for timelines - they create them."

    So simply, another reality. It kind of renders the first two pointless then.

    I fear they've completely f*cked what little chance they had to build on Terminator 2.
