James Cameron apparently saw an early screening of Genisys and appears to be saying it should be considered as the "third" terminator film. I find this amusing since he praised Terminator 3 back in 2003 as in "one word: great". Terminator 3 is a solid action flick IMO. The car chase, the T-800 vs TX fight, even some of the dialogue/plot were good, and in the last 3 minutes of the film where John and Catherine realize that the Bunker is for surviving Judgement Day rather than stopping it was genuinely :tviv: when I first saw it in the theater. Terminator 3 was R and used mostly practical effects and stunts as well. Genisys looks like its going to be the opposite of that along with a PG13 rating.

:ughh:

It's doesn't have an R rating so gently caress this. Terminator III at least kept the violence and profanity from the first two films. The action sequences look like they'll be some weightless marvel poo poo as well. :mediocre:

Emilia Clarke is so bad as Sarah Connor it's not even funny. Arnold is just there for comedy.

I know this movie will be dogshit but I'm still giving Arnold :10bux: because I like Arnold.

To be fair to Genisys it did have some incredibly badass visuals, specifically on the John Connor Terminator. I also enjoyed the scene where Arnold's Terminator brutally killed the T1000. In retrospect, the whole concept of this movie was awesome it was just executed horribly. If this had a good director, an R rating, and better casting it easily would've been on the levels of T1-T2. I still don't regret giving Arnold my :10bux: either. :colbert:

Skynet in T3 is shown to be outright malicious from the beginning. In the movie it propagates a part of itself as the worst computer virus in human history and lets itself loose on the Internet, and then when the "computer virus" starts disrupting military computer networks, the people in charge decide to activate Skynet to neutralize the "virus". They let Skynet off the chain and it goes "lol pranked" and immediately nukes the world.

Yeah i saw The RLM review too. i'm glad arnold is great, but it really sucks that sarah is "okay"(and she's probably going to be bad for me because I really don't like the look of that actress they picked for her) and jai courtney as reese is a thing that really gets under my skin. Also does all the bullshit in this movie mean that T2 never happens? anyway, I absolutely despised T3 and Terminator salvation, but I actually like that dude who played chekov's version of reese in salvation. At least I kinda could see that dude growing into kyle reese. I guess I'll just see this tonight then and get it out of my system, and just say the same thing that I always do: that the franchise is done after T2 and everything else is fanfiction garbage bullshit.

Blah blah only James Cameron matters blah blah.

The T-1000 has no biological tissue whatsoever; how it made it through the time machine in the film is simply a plot hole on Cameron's part.

T3 is pretty good in general. Better than Gensys both as a movie and as a Terminator film. It had a Terminator punch through someone to drive a car. RELAX. We will meet again. That ending was a great gently caress you. The crane scene was just demolishing stuff. It was fun and funny without most of the stupid Gensys has. The characters worked. Yeah, it's not a great work like T1 and 2, but it is closer to them than 4/5 is.

This Collector's Edition they're doing seems interesting.

I have a friend out in Royal Oak and she says their crime rates are pretty bad for poo poo like you've mentioned, her apartment in Novi got the door kicked in a dozen times in a year so she bailed out of there.

Chicago's south side is the worst. I was driving through the Heights 10 years ago at night with my window down. At a stop light a cop came roaring up, yelled at me for being wreckless and ordered me to follow him to a safer place.

Sounds like we need some Terminators to deal with Chicago gangs.

There's no "original" timeline because the first Terminator is a Messiah prophecy story. Kyle falls from the sky, impregnates the virgin, and she births JC who was the prophesied savior. It's a causal loop, an the Biblical parallels are a result of this loop.
