You're not wrong that it's essentially a remake, but I don't agree the first one is superior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 took T1 and made it bigger, better, badder and expanded the world. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Sad news. Seems like Edward Furlong is only doing CGI work/acting to put his face onto a younger body. Think that's lame. At the same time, I no longer think Arnold is human based on the recent footage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect him to be a major character, but was hoping for a small but integral role. Maybe they're throwing a curve ball and doing the exact opposite of every Terminator marketing ever that has spoiled the big twist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KManX89 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 New trailer: This is the red band extended version of the trailer that was posted the other day. I think it looks dope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 The Terminator was a slasher movie with a sci fi twist. It was not spectacular. It was damn good, but not spectacular. Terminator 2 was, is and forever will be a landmark in film history. It was perfect in every way. As far as Dark Fate, I am still highly skeptical. I have been let down by way, way, way too many sequels and prequels to beloved classics. Out of Predator, Die Hard, Alien/Aliens, The Thing and Terminator there have been exactly two made after the 90's that haven't sucked. Predators and Die Hard 4. Neither was great, neither was worthy of their predecessors and they are merely alright movies. The rest have sucked. Terminator 3 - Best attempt, still sucked. Terminator: Salvation - Terrible. Terminator: Genysis - Abomination. The Predator - Worst of all of them. So bad I felt like crying at the bastardization of what is probably my second favorite movie. The Thing (2011) - Ill-conceived with some good moments, but it turns into a simple monster movie when it deserves so much more. Prometheus/Covenant - Terrible. Prometheus less so, but absolutely NOT an Aliens franchise movie. Die Hard 5 was straight to DVD quality crap. The trailers look like they've made all the mistakes of the other Terminator failures. Making Arnold a bit player is a mistake. I'm still 77% sure the twist is that Arnold is playing the human model of the Terminator from the first two. That's fine. That's awesome. Still, make him and Hamilton the leads. Don't try to introduce an unnecessary new character. The stakes should get higher, not better. You go from two humans against a killing machine to Two humans with a turned inferior model against the new and improved model to An enhanced human versus an enhanced machine? That makes no sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hopefully it’s: First, good. Second, a success. Maybe then they’d bring back McTiernan for a true Predator sequel that ignores everything else and brings Arnold back finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Dark fate is the 1st or a supposed trilogy. Do we really need 2 more after this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I don’t know why, and it happened all at once, but I’m suddenly extremely hyped up for this movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
