    The scene with Arnie fighting the 1984 Terminator looks so fake. I hope the rest of the film doesnt look that bad.

    So what is the John Connor machine then? Another new type?

    Really looks like a big fat 'nope' to me; flashy, weightless CGI surrounding what looks like a total mess of a script. It'll need a lot of levelheaded praise and reviews to make me think about seeing this.

    I...can't even.

    They seem to have forgotten the horrorful suspense that was such a major contributor to the success of T2. In the trailer they appear to be revealing the main plot points and effectively are marketing this on, "Look! Terminators! Arnie! Emilia Clarke! KABOOM!"

    And an Arnie -v- Arnie fight. It's going to be the same terrible obvious CG they used in Salvation. I just know it.

    Just watched the trailer, think I know the whole plot now.

    I thought the original trailer gave too much away, but that new one is crazy.

    Also, this film looks terrible, looks like its going to be way worse than 3 and Salvation combined.

    Ah here - SPOILERS, MAJOR FECKING SPOILERS IN THE DAMNED TRAILER!? Could they not have left that out, did they REALLY need to show that?

    Seriously, anyone with an interest in seeing this movie DO NOT WATCH THE TRAILER.

    I hope this supposed trilogy if completed, does not end with them stopping Judgement Day, but humanity picking up the pieces after the war and moving on somehow. Let them go wild in this proposed trilogy, delve deep on high budget fanfiction, but not a stop JD scenario, anyway.

    At least that way, it wouldn't look like they were trying to money spin a new trilogy, just in time before the rights go back to Cameron. Even though that is what they are doing


    I'd hate for the end of this trilogy to be identical to the end of T2.

    Someone posted leaked script details here ages ago, spoilered too. They were just talking about how bad this film is going to be.

    They mentioned, will spoiler tag it but its in the trailer.
    As Kyle Reese is going back in time,
    he spots a terminator or some sh1te near John Connor.
    John Connor is injected with nanites and gets converted into a new type of terminator.
    Then for some reason he too goes back in time,
    and Sarah, Kyle and the T-800 try to go time travel forwards into the future to prevent what happened to John...

    Honestly, it sounds completely absurd, but the trailer above confirms it.

    Edit, here is the post I was talking about:

    Meh, heard about the spoilers and watched the trailer anyway.

    It'll be a "turn your brain off" kind of movie, but it would have been better to keep the spoiler out of the trailers.

    That shot of Arnie on the ground with his eye exposed looked like the CGI had just been composited in 5 minutes, why would they put that in there?

    This would really need to be something to get people into the cinemas but that "reveal" and how much it spends on it stinks of desperation with the reception from the first trailer. Though they did spoil it a long time ago with
    on-set pictures (one of the first were of 3 of them and John Connor at the hospital, the 1st trailer then showed Arnie putting him through a wall.)

    The original Terminator movies were more than simply 'turn your brain off movies' (an excuse for sub par action movies these days). They were interesting with strong characters and great sci-fi storytelling.

    Reducing the Terminator series to what's in the above trailer is sad imo. Especially considering iconic the role and the actor is.

    Still, I hope I'm wrong, but it looks a mess.

    Seriously, I agree with everyone complaining but I truly hope none of you complaining go to the cinema to see this movie in it's opening weekend/week. Doing so will only contribute to the movie possibly doing well enough for them to consider it a success and make them feel that it's okay to continue producing these unoriginal sequels that just fuking butcher the original franchises. If you must go see it in cinemas then wait until the opening week has past and then go see it. And even then, try to go at a 'bargain screening' for <€5 if your cinema do them.


    Will be waiting to torrent this. Even then it'll probably be the same as the newest Hobbit film where reviews were so bad that I didn't even bother.

    I love the first two, but there's not much to them. There's really no rich mythology there, it's a simple concept that worked really well for two movies and that's where they should have left it.

    Mein God !!!

    I just watched that car crash 2nd trailer, jesus christ, I thought it couldn't get worse then that 1st piece of sh*t !!!

    It's gonna be bullshítcrap - maybe even one of the worst piles of shyte ever made.

    That "reveal" - jesus surely they must be testing the waters and have a backup plan ???

    And as someone mentioned, please don't go see this in the cinema, it will only encourage them.

    And as others mentioned how it butchers the franchise ?
    It butchers itself, it doesn´t touch the two Cameron originals.

    They won´t be touched - not unless Cameron goes George Lucas on us - :eek: surely not !! :P

    Once the franchise was taken away from Cameron, is was always bound to end up like this, I only watched T2 recently and its flawless.

    Thought that was better than the first trailer. Have long given up on it being a 'real' Terminator film but to be honest I think it looks very watchable from a pure spectacle and popcorn point of view.

    Know what I have learned recently? That it is immensely satisfying to simply stop caring about redundant franchise sequels and pointless reboots / remakes. Expect nothing and they can safely be ignored, unless the Internet eventually flags that it's actually pretty good (and flagged it will be in that unlikely eventuality - let the end product to the talking as opposed to a trailer). Either way there is no impact on the original films, and ones time and enthusiasm for cinema is better spent celebrating the plethora of films that are worthy of our attention (have you seen World of Tomorrow yet?) - not whatever tired franchise is getting rolled out for another lap.

    Yes, it's a shame to see a beloved franchise disappoint or be taken advantage of for nothing more than commercial reasons (I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but surely Terminator fans have long since learned to temper expectations accordingly?). But to simply ignore and move on is ultimately more carthathic than hostility. After all, we'll always have T2.

    Same here, amazing film.

    After seeing it probably more than 10 times, the tension is still there when rewatching it.

    The T-1000 seemed like a real threat, if it was within arms reach you were dead. Now Terminators fling people around over and over, instead of punching into their chests and ripping out their heart, or impaling them.

    I swear execs must think that we expect Threads-like horror and cerebal social commentary naval gazing and realise it isn't marketable, when in fact all people want is Saving Private Ryan drama with purple lasers. Why does it have be two extremes, how about a bit of both. a bit of ambiguity.

    The latter is a wet dream for marketers. We live an era where this is now possible to do and they're not riding the wave of sci-fi action resurgence of the last few years.

    Anyway the last trailer..
