Terminator Galactica?

its f***ing distracting... ohhhh goood.

I get the same just stops problem

I just did 'save link as' on the link and it was fine.

yer just save link as if it doesnt load.

Yahoo and I are done professionally.

Wonder why it wont play for me starts then just STOPS

you're such a f***ing amateur

also, top choice of music for the trailer.

My god, that looks so good. Gold class time.

Terminator Galactica?

that's exactly what I thought, heh. looks f***ing awesome though. after watching the Terminator brand get raped recently though by watching T3 and the Sarah Connor Chronicles I feel like they don't deserve my money no matter how hard they try. Bale's temper tantrum didn't exactly fill me with joy either, but hopefully I can just remember he's a f***ing awesome cainer actor.

What's this terminator galactica? I couldn't bring myself to sully the memory of battlestar galactica by watching the new series.

I reckon this movie will be like every other movie, they show the good bits in the trailer and that's all there is. Watch the trailer and you've seen the movie.

Bale's temper tantrum didn't exactly fill me with joy either, but hopefully I can just remember he's a f***ing awesome cainer actor.

I've never really liked him that much to begin with.

Your loss, new series is far superior

Holy s*** Batman vs Terminator!

It's like Alien vs Predator, but with bigger explosions!

I dunno why anyone would care about the nutout he had at the DoP. After hearing the whole story it sounds like he was justified in going off at the guy. Very f***ing amateur

ps trailer looks awesome

Oh f*** yes! That looks so godamn awesome.

Also, even the 480p trailer looked stunningly crisp.

f***YEAH. This will be great.

Boo hoo, he yelled at a guy, movie ruined. :( :( :<

Edit: looks f***ing awesome, and agreed on the music comment above, I hope it's actually music from the soundtrack and not just some s*** they play for the trailer, I hate when they do that!

Also, the guy who plays Marcus Wright is like the coolest Aussie actor ever...

This will be awesome.

We should dig up the old thread where lots of you pricks were bagging this movie saying they should have stopped at number 2. LOL

8-)

sully the memory of battlestar galactica by watching the new series.

It doesn't sully ... in a weird kind of way it improves it

after watching the Terminator brand get raped recently though by watching T3 and the Sarah Connor Chronicles

While I agree T3 sucked. I have actually enjoyed the Sarah Connor Chronicles (well compared to s*** like Life on Mars and the other crap on tv)

I think parts of the T3 story needed to be told, it just ended up being told in such a painful and gimmicky way.

Also, as if every single person who loved T2 didn't think they absolutely had to make a full movie of the intro bit in the future. Though this movie is set before that time, hopefully this movie is really well done and the same people make another one set further into the future.

The casting in T3 was the worst effort I've ever seen in a major hollywood film.

T3 had arnie... Casting genius!!

Hehe yeah, it's like they cast Arnie then patted themselves on the back and went holidaying for 6 weeks while the work experience kid did the rest of the casting.

Looks great, everyone bitching about christian bale need to grow a pair and stop acting like f***ing women. oh boo hooo, I dont like the actor of this movie so I wont be seeing it, you all on your rags atm?

edit: If there is anyone you should be having a whine about, its the director... f***en guy calls him self McG....

terminator 4: just piss off terminator

dunno if you guys have seen it but christan bale blew up on the set of this film and started swearing at some poor guy.... here it is on yotube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrvMTv_r8sA

Is there a downloadable version of each somewhere?

I'm disappointed I watched that trailer, not because I didn't look great, but because it gave away some stuff I'd rather have not known going into the movie.

I am not sure you should have watched it billy, it looked violent. You'll turn into a non-caring sociopath if you keep it up.

not because I didn't look great

pics or lying

<3

edit - maybe the movie will desensitise us to robot pain, so that when judgement day comes, we're more likely to make a stand!#

just right click the links and save as

looks pretty f***in sick =)

I honestly did not like that trailer for the fact it spoiled Sam Worthington's character. I thought it was all supposed to be a mystery about his character, not knowing who he was and if he was from the past or future.
They just basically showed that hes a terminator, why not keep it under wraps and have it come out in the film.

hay is that sam worthington? ? ? his an aussie!

It sure is and he sure is

Spoiler.. SO IS JOHN CONNOR.. hahaha (i have no idea if this is true but they seem to be leading towards it)

yeah john connor died ages ago

Probably find out right near the start, I didn't get the impression it was meant to be a big mystery or anything. It seems like "Holy f***, the machines are copying humans now and we're all f***ed" is the initial catalyst for everything thats going on, so I'm assuming its found out pretty early in the movie.

"Holy f***, the machines are copying humans now and we're all f***ed"

i think its mainly because he thinks hes human. all previous terminators have always known they were terminators.

Yeah, James Cameron recommended Sam for the role so he must think pretty highly of him.

Be nice to see some kind of teaser for Avatar as well seeing as it's coming out later this year. The script for it looks like it's gonna be a very cool movie indeedy.

i think its mainly because he thinks hes human. all previous terminators have always known they were terminators.

Yeah, but thats the bit that doesn't make sense to me. Because this movie is set earlier on during the war, before John Connor is the big heroic leader he comes to be, and while the machines are still refining their designs for s***, so if they managed to make a terminator that thinks its human and can 100% infiltrate the resistance, why would they take a step backwards and stop making them later on.

Battlestar is one of the best shows on TV in years.

why would they take a step backwards and stop making them later on.

Maybe it doesn't work out for them in this movie.

Marcus could be half human and half machine and his human emotions are interfering with his primary directive

So its a cross between Terminator and Blade Runner.

hmmm

Because of time travel, I guess

Well this sux. Embargo has been broken and apparently this movie is an utter trainwreck.

This feels like ALIEN RESURRECTION to me. Something that kills something wonderful for me. I’m no longer interested in Terminator. McG terminated my enthusiasm. I love the first two films. At least I’ll always have that. f*** this movie.

f*** you McG!!! :(

ill still see it

I'll still see it but I really thought this was going to be an awesome movie that everyone loved.

yeah I'll still see it, just I won't be as excited for it, which is definitely a good thing.

SFX has ruined movies because they are simply too good now and outshine the very average actors that star in the movies with them.

OK first of all, I didn't understand your post. And the supposed 'review' of the movie you linked is a f***ing facespace blog post or something about this guy and his emo life. What the f***, seriously. I wouldn't put any stock into this. It is a very unprofessional article, by some loser that can't stop name-dropping.

heh. harsh review :P more or less what i expected though... you can't hope for continuity of characters & story when the directors & actors are so different.

aintitcool is serious business. they've always run it that way, it's one of the oldest movie review sites on the net. Yes, he does write more like a fan, but this doesn't discredit him more than the likes of David Stratton.

Disappointed to read this; was also looking forward to Terminator: Salvation.

Remains to be seen whether this is a fair criticism, but sounds eerily similar to my impression of the "Star Wars" movies Ep 1, 2 and 3 (I don't consider them part of the Star Wars mythology- I have decided to disown them completely) and the new Indiana Jones disaster. Story. Dialogue. Fully realised characters whom the audience actually cares about - 0/3 on all accounts.

However I did like Alien: Resurrection. Totally watchable and apart from the slightly cliched mother/baby moment at the end I totally rate it.

Still, anyone who uses the expression "nuked the fridge" is ok in my book.

^^^^^^^
vege, its like we are brothers:

FYI - Sarah Connor Chronicles got axed

Also, the game is s***.

YOU MAKE IT SO BIG RES0

THATS WHAT SHE SAID

Yeh, but you cannot be seriously surprised by this. I mean if James Cameron who invented the whole thing didnt want to make another Terminator movie then how can anyone seriously expect a 'you so amateur' (Christain Bale voice) b-grade director to somehow magically make a decent movie.

I'd much rather see the review written by a Terminator fan because I know it'll address the issues that I would have with Yet Another Terminator Movie

I went and saw this today at southbank and thought it was pretty damn good. f*** the internet.

Story was so-so

Would have liked to see more battles with terminators in the cities, or see more about skynet itself... but for a action movie was good.

Great use of sound effects to.. that massive hunter/killer robot thing that was kidnapping people at the fuel station sticks in my head.. simply because of that massive droning sound effect that went with it..

i thought it was average, had to laugh at the "So that's what death tastes like" line

qgl has categorically terrible taste in film and tv so im not surprised people are liking this movie

i thought it was average, had to laugh at the "So that's what death tastes like" line

imo, he should have said no and given her a pencil case instead

This.

A lot of you white people thought Jumpers looked good. Jumpers for the love of God.

I'd rather f*** Stinky in his rancid arsehole than watch Terminator: Salvation again

I am confused ... Are you saying it's not the best thing I have ever done but it worth mention in the same sentance as my favourite past time and hence ok ?

Really? I remember Kat liking it, and everyone else thinking it was s***.

Watched term:sal last night. I wasn't expecting it to have the same feel or quality as the originals and I thought it was a great sci-fi action flick. Sam Worthington made christian bale seem like a supporting actor.

Watched term:sal last night. I wasn't expecting it to have the same feel or quality as the originals and I thought it was a great sci-fi action flick.

Affirmative.

Just came back from watching this. Great special effects and the sound was brilliant. An entertaining sci-fi action flick that's worth my $9 to say the least. Low expectations FTW. Though i thought the cinema (Sunnybank AMC) would be more packed. It was barely half full.

Sam Worthington made christian bale seem like a supporting actor

Negative.

Well... i wouldn't go as far as saying that, bale definitely stood his own. I reckon it's just that Worthington was this half human half machine s*** which instantly made him cooler than some 'ordinary human resistance leader" typa guy.

Talking of which, you could tell there was something up with Marcus, before the revelation that he was a half cast. Like that bit when he saved that chick from those 2 guys. He got king hit and his head barely moved. You knew this guy was a bad muddaphaqqa deep down inside.


Spoiler:
Highlight of the movie was arnie's brief appearance as the T800 whilst the terminator theme was playing in the background. It wasn't much in the big scheme of things, but the remodeling of his face from the original 1984 terminator was a nice touch.


P.S - Damn just now i realized where i recognize Anton Yelchin from (the guy who played Kyle Reese). He's the scrwany geeky kid from Alpha Dog!


last edited by MatchFixer at 21:28:45 06/Jun/09

Anton Yelchin also plays "the kid with the thick Russian accent" Chekov in Star Trek!

Honestly thought Termintor: Salvation was average. It has some heart racing action and chase scenes and some fan appealing scenes at the end, but overall rather dull. Besides Marcus, John and Kyle, there wasn't any other character to like or care for. There weren't any satisfying all-out conflicts with Terminators and the skies, or SkyNet for that matter, didn't seem deadly at all. I mean John infiltrates SkyNet all by himself, WTF!?

Just got back from seeing this, it was pretty cool. Not amazing, but better than the reviews made it out to be imo. Sam Worthington was awesome.

I mean John infiltrates SkyNet all by himself, WTF!?

Because Marcus helped him from the inside, and because Skynet wanted to let him inside.

Terminator USB ports ftw.

Saw it and thought it was s***. This is a movie for people with ADHD and other mental illnesses. No story line, s*** acting, CGI was way over the top which is always a sign of a movie lacking substance.

If you still haven't seen this movie check out this guys review to see if you should hand over your hard earned cash.

^ I feel like i should withdraw my comment about this movie after watching that :/

i agree with everything matchfixer said

you can't go in expecting something like T2, because it's not even in the same realm as that and has never tried to be.

i was of the opinion 'no arnie, no care' etc

but it's actually not a bad movie. my man bale did a good job as expected

dunno why but i thought it was cool the resistance still had mostly todays military hardware, the A-10's were cool.

hahahaha

PS the movie sucked

was just like a long big-budget episode of sarah connor chronicles

Except sarah connor chronicles is quite the terrible and this movie was fairly good.

Just got back from watching it.

Definitely a lot of plot holes/silly stuff but on the whole I enjoyed it.
It was entertaining and I think a worthy addition to the series.

This movie was infinitely better than Terminator 3, I really enjoyed it, the only things that really bugged me were the completely inconsistent physics when the terminators and marcus and humans were fighting, like how can Marcus bash a terminator across a room but then struggle to help John Connor up after he's been skewered?

i saw terminator salvation last night. it's ok as a standalone action movie but doesn't sit well with any of the previous movies imo. bale does a pretty good job as connor but the story is just dumb.

Spoiler:
i also wanted to see a futuristic post apocalypse style warfare between man & machine... dissappointed! at most you get a couple of terminators wth no skin on or a hk or a harvester (which looks like a ghetto transformer) fighting a ragtag bunch of knuckleheads with popguns :/

the terminator bikes were cool... but c'mon... asif! they'd be better off in a madmax sequel. 4/10.

apparently bale ruined it because he wanted to play connor, instead of who he was cast as, so they quickly rewrote connor into the movie. Originally he was supposed to only be in the movie for like 2 minutes.

Originally he was supposed to only be in the movie for like 2 minutes.

2 minutes? I find that hard to believe given Bale's caliber as an actor.

no, john connor only had about 2 minutes in the film. Bale was *supposed* to play someone else, marcus I think.

ah comprehend e

I thought it was quite good.

Talking of which, you could tell there was something up with Marcus, before the revelation that he was a half cast. Like that bit when he saved that chick from those 2 guys. He got king hit and his head barely moved. You knew this guy was a bad muddaphaqqa deep down inside.

You did better than me to not watch a 5 second add that gives away that. Seriously, why the f*** did the marketers give that away in every single preview?

Anyways, it was a good bridging movie from Cameron's films to the new era (unlike T3).

Editing Room script of Terminator Salvation.

http://www.the-editing-room.com/terminator-salvation.html

watched it last night thought it was pretty okay! the arny terminator made me LoL

One call back to the original films that I thought was cool was how Bale gets scratched on his face. I thought that was subtle and clever! (Watch T2 again if you don't know what I'm talking about. )

Nice try "printer", you d*******

i didnt think it was that clever... asif anyone would be stupid nuff to click such a link AMIRITE!?!@# ;D

anyways back to the s***ty movie... what was with the s***ty washed out colour?! the more i think about this movie the more i realise how s***ty it was. i h8 u mcg! :D

Washed out colour was great - gave it a gritty war film feel :p Didn't you ever wonder in T2 (or any other Cameron film), "why is everything blue?"

Spoiler:
The gayest part of the film was how the chopper seemed to manage to escape the explosion at the end of the film, when a similar explosion at teh start of the film caused the chopper to crash...

This should've been The Matrix: Salvation

It would be cool if the 4th/5th Terminator movie was actually the Matrix, and Keanu Reeves wakes up to discover he is John Connor or some s***.

OK so I saw this on Tuesday. I didn't want to kill myself the whole way through it like I was expecting. However, I did facepalm, rollseyes, and definitely would have headdesked if one had been available.

Overall it was a fairly enjoyable action flick. I can't fault the special effects. But f*** me, the story just felt disjointed and was full of so many things to pick on that I just couldn't relax or unwind the whole way through it.

I'd want to watch it again to fully dissect the hell out of it, but some of the things that bugged me:

Spoiler:

- why don't T800s know how to kill humans lying helpless on the ground in an efficient manner? Picking them up and throwing them against the wall clearly fails. Reach down and snap their neck. Or one of the many, many options that are available to you if you are a super strong robot made of adamantium or whatever.
- how come the rebel alliance can have massive, above-ground bases with runways and helicopters and A-10s and tents and hangars, all of which are no doubt beaming crap out into the EM spectrum? No wonder Connor is able to put up such a fight, Skynet is completely and utterly uncoordinated. Nothing like the underground gritty vision of the first two movies. I could believe the sub (thought that was a nice touch, actually).
- What was the explanation for Skynet taking human prisoners?
- Why, WHY did they have to 'humanise' Skynet at the end with Helena Bonham Carter's giant head on the screen?! Even including the s***ty third movie, the awesome part about Skynet/Terminators was just the sheer, complete, utter inhumanity of them. They didn't talk, they didn't chat to humans, they didn't gloat, and they certainly f***ing didn't EXPLAIN THEIR WHOLE GODDAMN PLAN like some sort of supervillian. Jesus H.
- Did they really have to enter into the whole time paradox s***? As soon as you put time travel in a movie, you make it completely and utterly lame. T1 and T2 gracefully avoided the whole problem by pretty much ignoring all the stupid s***.
- The radio code thing was stupid.
- The giant massive robot thing just looked like something out of Transformers and made me weep. I wanted the armies of Terminators traversing the landscape like I was promised in T2. I wanted fricking laser beams. I wanted Connor and Kyle Reese fighting side by side, Connor knowing he's going to have to send Kyle back at some point but powerless to stop the future that he's swept up in.
- Why did that pilot let hybrid Terminator guy go? "Because I looked into his eyes and saw a man" is not a valid excuse for someone that's spent most of her entire life fighting the machines, and just been shot down by machines. Why.
- CGI Arnie was awesome. I loved it when they shot him with a grenade and his face burned off, I assume because it was too expensive to keep doing all that rendering.
- I thought the heart transplant scene was a bit cheesy. The whole movie they're punching you in the face with "this Terminator has a HEART, a human HEART, which is really STRONG and it's BEATING LOUDLY, just like a great HEART does". And then at the end, "oh no, Christan Bale's heart is ... just too weak to survive.. there's.. nothing we can do. Nothing at all. Nothing. Oh unless, like, we can find a spare heart lying around that noone needs or whatever... but we'd never find that."


But aside from all that it was OK.

I'm not going to bother using spoiler tags, because anyone who reads this far into a thread about a movie they haven't seen either doesn't care, or is too dumb for their own good.

- why don't T800s know how to kill humans lying helpless on the ground in an efficient manner? Picking them up and throwing them against the wall clearly fails. Reach down and snap their neck. Or one of the many, many options that are available to you if you are a super strong robot made of adamantium or whatever.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but didn't they do this in the previous films too? It's been a while since I've watched them, but I thought they did the same silly "I'll throw you about until you defeat me!" thing.

- What was the explanation for Skynet taking human prisoners?

I thought it was research for creating the T800 and its successors?

spoiler?

was how the chopper seemed to manage to escape the explosion at the end of the film, when a similar explosion at teh start of the film caused the chopper to crash..

i thought what was worse than just the chopper flying so fast it escapes the explosion, was that it also flys like a plane - angled backwards when clearly that would make the chopper go backwards
