The first two films in the franchise were amongst my all time favorite movies. I even enjoyed T3. Unfortunately, Terminator Salvation was absolutely horrible imo and actually killed my enjoyment of the series. To this day I haven't seen Genesis (I think that's how it's spelled).

Not particularly hyped to see old lady Sara Conner rocking sunglasses and acting badass. I typically skip reviews and even trailers when it's something I know I want to see but this time I'll see what the reviews say...

Not really interested after the trailer. CGI is atrocious. So clean and plastic when the truck smashes through the brick wall. It looks Direct-To-Netflix bad. The physically wrong looking slow mo circus acrobatics, Linda and Arnold are ancient. The off the rack background pop song.

After watching the tech noir and police station scenes of the original it looks even worse...

IIRC I believe they said the VFX weren't finished. The teaser footage was derived from the reel shown at CinemaCon, so it's believable. 

I didn't much care for the music, either.



I'll certainly watch it. Whether that's in the theater or not will depend on reviews.



It's holding up fairly well on Rotten Tomatoes with a 67% as of this writing.

Not great by any stretch, but surely a lot better than many were expecting it to be. And I know you shouldn't put a lot of weight into early-screening reviewers for obvious reasons, but I've read various posts from users on other boards who've said they really enjoyed it. I'd take their word over studio-handpicked test-screeners who know they probably won't get invited to future screenings if they talk bad about the film in question.

So... I guess I can safely go in cautiously optimistic next weekend? Which is more than I can say for the last few films.

Saw the trailer when I went to see Joker. Now I really want to see it in the theater.



I'll probably go check it out but I'm not going to expect much out of it.



Seen it 2 nights ago, it was quite cool, just go in with your expectations in check, also the first 10 mins or so does a lot of kinda... world building / explaining which stuff happened and which didn't so you might find it a bit jarring and confusing at first, once it settles down the movie really gets good imo, one of the better things I've seen in the cinema this year but that said.... I don't see a lot of movies and the last thing I seen was the terrible IT chapter 2.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Last Terminator I watched was 3, Rise of the Machines. Did I lose anything?
