Personally, it's difficult to take Cameron seriously these days as he hasn't made a great movie since True Lies in 1994. It's easy for trailers to get the tone of the movie wrong, but watching the trailers has me a bit nervous.

It gets pretty good. The first few episodes are kind of middling, but as soon as Garret Dillahunt appears in earnest it becomes very good. There's also a cool scene early on where the Terminator looks like Garret Dillahunt because he's like a B-Movie actor, and there's a shot of him as a phony Conan the Barbarian thing. If I'm remembering that right. Summer Glau is also pretty good in this, has some good lines, and there's a real tension between Sarah and her son's girl robot that they hang out with together all the time. Even a super awkward scene that all the goons interpreted as sex when he changes her internal battery or something. Towards the end there's a lot of really hokey religious references and stuff but you also get a fantastic new T-1000/liquid metal terminator and some great stuff about artificial intelligence. The action scenes are also pretty good if the Terminator cgi is a little bad.

E: These spoilers are fairly light and both just fun moments instead of anything resembling a plot point if you care to look at them.

Also, it makes great use of Johnny Cash.

Hmm, are these supposed to be different punks because of timeline wankery? They didn't try to match the looks that well.


Also Brian Thompson would have maze an awesome Terminator

Just because you feel it's a niche show doesn't mean it is. It had multiple events where episodes were shown in theaters all across the country and every screening sold out. More people watch DW than the number of people who will go see this movie.

Like Cameron will actually ever make another T film. He's too busy making lovely movies about blue aliens.

Basically Fallen Angels that taught humanity a bunch of Science and Art while Noah and Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins!) are wizards.

They end up regretting this and some of them help Noah and his family build the Ark.

You're getting your Arnold movies mixed up.

Sort of.

Arnold never got a minigun in the 80s, only in T2, and that was specifically stolen military stuff that Sarah had been stockpiling across the border.

All of the weapons Arnold stole in T1 from the store are pretty legit and make sense, not even that dated for nowadays outside of letting him anywhere near them without payment first. Of course he could have just killed the Clerk with his bare hands so that's not an issue.

The movie you're thinking of was Commando where Arnie stole a rocket launcher and a bunch of machine guns from a gun store that had a secret military surplus thing in the back for some dumb amazing reason.

Why was Clarke a bad choice? He was the most interesting presence in the film.

Is someone holding a gun to your heads and forcing you guys to watch stuff you don't like and don't want to watch? If so can you please ask them to stop?

That's too bad. There's some really interesting stuff in there if you're actually interested in the art of storytelling and themes and pretty much the base instincts that exist in all man.

Classic atheist response.


There's nothing intellectually honest about that guys posts. They drip of desperation and denial, and end up reading like ocd ramblings of a person who needs to fit every piece of a puzzle into its exact proper place, and if it doesn't fit the exact way he wants it, he'll cut off the corners to make it fit.

There's nothing interesting about his 2+2=4 logic because movies aren't math and there's more to the art of storytelling than the same stupid c-word bullshit, but if you like hearing the same boring "hey didja know" trivia that keeps getting repeated in these threads, by all means. I personally like going into movies with a different mindset when watching something for the 182nd time.

I'm not losing my mind, I just like being creative when insulting people on the Internet. It's more clever than just calling people cunts, you should try it sometime.
