Skydance paid a bucketload for the rights and they want to cash in as much as possible before they revert to Cameron in a few years.

I think the biggest reason they are hiding him from any promos is because MEGASPOILERS he is playing Skynet and it is really difficult to cut material for the trailer without spoiling that.

That's way cooler than him playing Future Soldier #11 or whatever it looked like his part was from the preview in Entertainment Weekly months ago. I hope this is true and since you've just seen the movie I trust you.

That part was leaked early, along with the revelation that he's made of nanobots and some other stuff which hopefully isn't quite as dumb as it sounds.

Matt Smith was apparently going to be the Terminator who infects John Connor with nanobots and they were going to pretty big lengths to hide it to make the twist catch people off guard. Of course, then that recent trailer came out and...

Why? Who cares? Worst case scenario, don't see the other sequels, pretend they don't exist, and then the movie rights revert back to James Cameron in 2019.

Well sure, if nothing else, the rights reverting back to him means no more lovely sequels (unless he farms it out to other directors I guess).

I don't want any more Terminator movies. Even with Cameron. The story is so poo poo at this point that there isn't anything left to do with it. It's just loving boring garbage all the way through. (T1-T2 excluded)

Adaptations, dude. They still have 60 years worth of material to pick from, whereas for Terminator sequels they just have mountains of cocaine and variations of the question "What if, like, this time they time-traveled really hard?"

Why do people hate on avatar? I like nothing more to sticking in the blu ray extended edition and just bask in a stories beautiful visuals for a few hours. It really is a glorious film.

I cannot wait for the sequels.

Great hearing positive reviews so far for the new terminator film, however that won't last long when the usual goons get into fights about who hates it more. Just like ask good films.

It's easy to make a good film when it all boils down to superhero/x fights a villain or villains. Throw in a dash of 'will they won't they' romance and, bam, winner.

Terminator is, unfortunately for gently caress You It's Year-era of films, not quite so easy to piece together. T1 and T2 are basically complete things.

I meant new ideas within the Terminator framework but I didn't think I'd need to use such precise wording in my post. But we're on the internet so who knows I guess.

Because it's easier to aim for mediocrity and succeed. When you make a film so inoffensive, you get your "it was okay, 3/5" reviews that all show as positive on RT or whatever. And all those superhero movies don't really have anything that "haunts" them in the past except shittier superheromovies. Movies like Terminator have goddamn masterpieces they are compared to, so it's inevitable you are running into disappointments. As I said, some (most) people are going to say Genisys was a piece of poo poo, but most people aren't going to say it was really mediocre. They tried something different, some of it works nicely, some of it fails, but I wasn't disappointed with it. It's the third best film in the franchise if that means anything to anyone. And I liked how it begins where the third ended.

Noah is a good recent example where it would have been so easy for the studio to have Russell Crowe star in a bland, predictable Bible adaptation, and it would have been a monster success without much effort at all. Instead they invested all that money in someone who wasn't going to play it safe, and they were punished for it.

Worst thing about Avatar isn't that Cameron is making those instead of more Terminator (because like y'all said where else can you go with it) but that he never did that Battle Angel Alita adaptation he was always just about to do. Shame as that has tons of hyper violent robot action and dystopian landscapes for miles plus a ton of imagery in it was inspired by The Terminator and Hardware and Blade Runner anyway. Plus it inspired Cameron himself according to him along with other sci-fi stuff like Elysium. Cameraon was at one point even saying Avatar was like a test run for doing Battle Angel Alita. What could have been.

The ship has definitely sailed though as any Battle Angel movie now would be dismissed as hyper derivative like Dredd 2012.

I had a feeling Emilia Clarke might ruin this movie, she's so far from what Linda Hamilton did in T2 its ridiculous. Even just in the first trailer when I saw her firing a pistol it didn't look right, something was off about it.

I don't want to defend the movie because I can see people not liking it (not my terminator!) but calling it one of the worst movies ever means they haven't seen that many movies and it's just tiring hyperbole, but this is the internet. There are shittier films playing in theaters right now. And nothing can be worse than Salvation. After that joyless piece of poo poo I'll watch Arnie being a punchline-terminator any day over it.

Its just interesting enough to get certain religious groups pissed off, but not quite good enough to overcome that and pull in the audience it needed to be the smash-hit it could have been. I love Arnofsky though and the film is beautiful to look at, so I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. A lot of the landscape shots remind me of the opening credits of Prometheus. It has a very pre-historical feel to it.
