I don't care if I see either. I do want to see Terminator though; do you think I need to see T3 first?

I think T3 has been excised from the canon of Terminator..."lore." I don't hate it like most, it's guilty pleasure, but it's certainly inferior to everything else to come from the story.

So much conflicting information. Aikouka said it continues form the story, but others say it does not! Guess I should just rent it and see for myself.

iirc, the story will continue more from the current TV series. early on in season 1 (which started a few years before T3), they time-traveled to ~7 years in the future (current day), and therefore skipped the events of T3.

However, some of the elements in the T3 story were retained in the series (Sarah Conner's fate, especially--which she managed to "skip" by time traveling in the series).

If anything, I imagine they'll try to operate on a line of parallel realities? lame and cliche but whatever...

Thanks zin, I'm even more confused now! :laugh:

Have yet to see the TV show, but I'll pick up T3 and go with that for now.

I have it on HD DVD...it was like 5 bucks!

I'd Netflix the first season of SCC too if I were you. or hulu it. there are several issues in both seasons that I expect to be somewhat relevant to the new flick....though I honestly don't know if the SCC and screenwriters collaborated some 3-4 years ago when Salvation was initially being conceived; which I'm guessing would have been well before many of the story elements in the series were finalized.

so who knows, maybe the fact that the screenplay for Salvation was produced before the TV series is a bit more crucial.

Yeah I already have it sitting in my queue. We don't have Hulu up here, so nice dice on that, just need to wait for them to ship it to me.

Yes, but they have the Constructicons/Devestator and Jetfire as a SR71-Blackbird. I'm not going to comment on Wheelie because it will give out spoilers.

However, I'm very happy that Frank Welker gets to voice Soundwave.

Well, it is nice to finally having a combination set of Transformers and isn't Jetfire the other name for Skyfire... the one that was in the one Transformers (animated) movie? Not the one with the volcano and crazy native girl with the funny accent.
Click to expand...

Yeah, he was called Skyfire in the cartoon but Jetfire in the comics.

I still have the original Jetfire/Skyfire toy. 🙂 Well, I should say that my son has him now.

You shouldn't have given them to your son yet, as it could be worth quite a bit of change one day. I cringe when I think about my old GI Joes, and Star War figures I once had.
Click to expand...

Nah, he's already pretty beat up from when I had him as a kid. I don't believe in putting toys away in the hopes they become a collector's item one day. I'd rather my kids play with them and enjoy them.

My wife and son are stoked for it as well. It sounds like they are fixing most of the problems with the first movie

Negative.

Michael Bay is still involved, and that is easily the number 1 problem by a MILE.

Go back to the Valley!
 
And I seen Star Trek, the only one I seen, and it was disgusting. Terminator Salvation looks booty from the trailers. Transformers revenge of the fallen will out do both the opening day versus star trek and terminator salvation being 2 weeks into it alone.

I hope your stay is a short one. At least under this account.
 
Having just seen Star Trek I have seen one of the three so far, and will see the other two quite soon. It was as I expected, a good one to watch.

Transformers 2 looks more of what I wanted compared to the love story that was the first one. I don't care that it's mostly special effects, it's robots fighting ffs!!

Terminator however is my lowest expectation list at the moment until I watch more previews, which might be a good thing. T3 just killed my interest.
