Terminator 4nnihilation. Spoiled.

I just didn't like it. It was lame and cheesy. I couldn't believe they used a cliche hardnosed General character. I called that horrible "give him my heart" bullshit the second they said he had a human heart.

My biggest problem: Skynet set the worst trap ever. Seriously. Not to mention they have the absolute worst base defenses ever. Weren't they at war? How does the enemy just sneak in? Why did they pass up so many opportunities to kill John Conner? Seriously, wasn't that the point? Would a cold calculating machine really just pass up the opportunity just to see if their diabolic plan worked?


Oh man, the chip that controls their super infiltrating human-machine is easily accessible and destroyable. WTF?


Finally. Wasn't the terminator made as a unit to get into the bases and destroy? It was a stealth weapon so to speak. Why did they unleash their newest model as the key piece of the trap? Did he really need to be camouflaged as human? And jesus christ, why didn't Conner say something when it turned out to be his former father figure?


Usually I am not one to pick a movie apart, but when it is that bad you just kind of have to do it. I could go on and on. It was just bad story telling and horrible twists.
I will say I did enjoy the throw back scenes. I loved watching the terminator walk up the steel grate steps. I lol'ed when Young Reese said "Come with me if you want to live". There was some good stuff, too bad the rest just fell to pieces.



EDIT:With that said, I am going to bed. Hate on if you must. Throw some mud if you agree. I will continue in the A.M.
 
Were timewarps always this bad? Seems like every other thread there is a victim. I don't remember there being this many. Did this come about from an "update" to fuzetalk?

the fabric of space/time is breaking down...

WTF? i posted this a good 2 minutes after mjrpes3 (it says 1:33am) on my clock.

I think this is total confirmation that there is a server or three in the cluster that has it's NNTP screwed up.

A spoiler is something that comes as a surprise.

This... is... not... a... surprise... to... anyone


Yet i will still go see it.

It was a joke. Also happens to be true though.

Just got back, man I wanted this movie to be good I really did. First half was O.K then when they tried explaining details of the plot and the lame cyborg tie was just garbage. Movie would of been better if it had absolutely no plot and was just straight scenes of action... Ending was probably the worst part, totally ruined anything good about it.

Duh. We knew this many months ago.

Director: McG

Yup. As soon as McG took this project over it was destined to fail. And apparently has in spectacular fashion.

I had a chance to go see it last night but passed.

Even the fanboys on aintitcool are calling for McG's head now.

 
According to IMDB there is already talk of a sequel by the same director.

WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILER
"Terminator Salvation" is set to appear in theaters today, but don't expect to see a conclusion to the war between man and machine. That conclusion may come at the end of this new trilogy, and director McG is already talking about how it all may go down. SPOILERS AHEAD: McG tells MTV News that Kate Connor (Bryce Dallas Howard), the wife of John Connor, and her pregnancy will play a big part in the future installments. "That's to be explored in the prospective second and third picture," McG says. "We've arced out a story that includes that child and its fate and what it becomes in this world of man versus machine." Howard continued: "In the third film, it was suggested that their children together become important. That Kate eventually becomes the leader of the resistance when John Connor dies and that their children together become influential as well. Obviously, that's in a future that we're all working to prevent because we don't want John Connor to be killed -- but it is obviously implied that there are children involved." McG also mentioned that the next film would study "the genesis of [Sam Worthington's character] Marcus, the coming of time travel and the fate of John Connor himself. We've marked out all those stories. And the child plays a critical role in it."
 
I really really really wanted it to be good. I really did. When I first heard about the movie I knew it was going to be bad. It was being written by the same jerkwads that wrote the horrible 3rd and TV versions. Then came Christian Bale and stories of rewrites. Then came the first trailers, which was okay. Next came the Badass Trailer a few months ago with the NIN song that was absolutely amazing. It sparked my interest there and convinced me to go see.

Hate on McG all you want. I hold no love for the guy since it was under his wing that the Terminator franchise failed to reclaim its former glory. But the full blame for this comes from the hacks that wrote it and the numbnuts who approved it. Honestly. How do these guys still have jobs?
 
The movie would have been better if they had just focused on stopping the T-800 from going into production. The problem with movies today is to many subplots.

T1 = fun

T2 = great

T3 = lame

T4 = ?

Honestly I agree.

Also, I can say with conviction that the First two movies rank as some of the greatest movies I have ever seen. How is it so hard to recapture them?
 
As long as they have dispensed with the family friendly terminators, I am happy. I dont want to see a Disney movie, I want to see crazy killer robots on both sides.

ps. Its "Annihilation" not 4nnhilation (no such movie exists).

Don't watch many movies at all, do you? 😉

I thought this movie was called Salvation?
 
Ahhh, I want to read it but don't want to spoil it 🙁

I'll come back to this thread after I've seen it.
