Forget the Dark Knight. I can't wait to see Christian Bale as John Conner.

Load up on them all the tech that has been developed in the x years, and continue developing / sending robots back in time. until Viola, you have technology that Conor would never be able to defeat. Then when the robots feel sufficiently advanced enough, they can send out a huge army of robots to every bunker that didn't get nuked (since they should have that info after 200 some odd years of development from said recursion) and obliterate Conor, Heck, even if they fail they can just send off a message about which bunker he is in and send 1000 robots the next time.

I guess AI really wasn't all that advanced. 🙁

If you were an AI, what would seem simpler to you? Altering the future in your favor by killing a single boy or doing all of that mumbo jumbo you just mentioned? Obviously it didn't turn out the way it expected but it had no idea John was such a bitch to kill.

Gee, I would think after 3 failures it would get the hint...

Well the thing was that the rebels sent back a machine to combat the terminator because I assume they knew what the machines were trying to do. So for whatever reason the AI sent back in time, the rebels would've followed suit to stop it. So it's really up to you if you wanted to watch a boring movie of technology being passed down from the future or what JC did. I'm glad you didn't direct.

edit: the first time was to kill the mother, the 2nd time was to kill john, they actually succeed the 3rd time as the purpose of the 3rd time was to ensure the future of the machines(hence the title rise of the machines), killing targets was secondary to the overall mission.

Look at the director and writers, the new Terminator is going to suck.

Same writers who did Catwoman and the guy who directed Charlie's Angels (or one of the sequels)... Let's hope these people learned their lesson and improved exponentially!

While we are at it, lets hope for Middle East peace. I wish they would at least have Arnold cameo in it.

Because if there's anything good about Terminator 3, its the fact that it discusses the issue of time paradox...time cannot be changed, the machines and humans have to send assassins/guardians back in time in only because they already did it as evidenced by the things existing earlier in time. The same holds true of the future. In Terminator 2 they couldn't really stop the future because if the future was to be different, the Terminators couldn't have been sent in the first place.

Bryce Dallas Howard plays Kate Conner.... win.

So when do they get the lasers. Arnold put an M4 into the T1000s face and it did nothing. Ya, it was liquid metal, but come on... I have faith in the cast, but not one bit in the production crew.
