I like the extra little bits of the T-1000 malfunctioning in the refinery both because they look really cool, and I think at the time it was actually not communicated as well by the few remaining glitch shots that the T-1000 was significantly damaged/hindered by being freezed and shattered. Disclaimer: at the time I was 9 and the last 20 minutes was  at a drive-in

GORDON posted:Alternate theory. Skynet attacks just as Kyle Reese is about to go back in time. Very little of his body is left. His testicles are sewn into the undercarriage of a Terminator so we can still fertilize that specific egg with the correct sperm. A Terminutter, if you will.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:There is seemingly a base assumption throughout CD that any time travel plot point has to be examined for its grounding in science, and outside of time travel movies where that's what the plot is actually about (relatively few of them) this is about as exciting as figuring out why Superman's clothes don't vaporize whenever he does anything. Even though this kind of sperging was going on even before Terminator 2 came out, I actually blame Terminator 3 because that's when time travel stopped acting as an allegory for fate/free will and just became about Skynet recursively managing its temporal incursion losses.

The funny thing is, I was about to cite a similar Shatner-like over-embellished act from Hale if you go deep renegade style in ME1 (not sure about the others, I only played the first). She deliciously hams it up for many of the options that are supposedly only taking the hard-edged "sacrificing for the greater good" approach and not meant to descend into wanton villainy, it was a wonderful surprise.

ephori posted:It's a shame the Internet freaked out about the initial Terminator Salvation script, because moving the subtext of the machines from nuclear paranoia and technology-run-rampant to class conflict was updating it to be relevant to our time in the way that everybody seems to be looking for in this thread. Just because it did a thing doesn't mean it did it well.

Burkion posted:This movie had really good villains guys. My only complaint about it is that it was wounded and bled like a human when first attacked by Pops but then went straight into machine mode from then on. If the studio had the stones to go for an R they could've done some fascinating (and probably highly unsettling) stuff with the imagery of a robot that is simulating the human body at the cellular level, even when it's having the living poo poo blasted out of it by heavy assault weapons.

drat if that isn't the premise for an amazing early 90s fish-out-of-water comedy. Kindergarten Cop-era Arnie and Drew Barrymore would've slayed it.

computer parts posted:It'd be interesting to see what the overlap is between people who want a Future War movie and people who deride prequels because "they know what's going to happen". I want to see the near-future war, the period after Judgment Day until shortly after John rose and rallied people from the extermination camps. There must be a reason he didn't start the resistance before humanity was on the brink of complete extinction. The Future War is essentially the Third Servile War post-apocalypse style, let's find out how Johnicus escaped the robo-ludus. Let's see Terminator: Blood and

Xenomrph posted:I've got a Terminator Salvation question, the big "twist" in the movie is that Marcus is a robot and doesn't know it. Are there other movies that play with the same idea of a character being revealed to be not what they thought they were, such that they might not even be able to trust themselves? Memento is about this in so many ways.
