Amir Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I think Im going to watch T3 or Salvation tonight.I just have a vibe this next one is going to be worse so I might as well give Salvation another go (it'll probably still be dissapointing)I actually enjoy T3 despite its shortcomings. Still only seen Salvation once.T3's ballsy ending redeems it somewhat.T4's sackless ending neuters the whole film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 ...and on three, everyone do their best Clint Eastwood/Renee Zellwegger circa 2005 impression...This really is as botched a publicity campaign for a major film that I can recall in recent memory. Can't wait for the trailer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I had already lowered my expectations when Jai Courtney was cast. The guy is terrible. Seeing these pictures made me lower them even more. The plot sounds okay but I do not have high hopes. Arnold looks good age-wise but this doesn't scream "The Terminator is back" to me. I'll see it with very low expectations and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Granted those pictures are done "photoshoot" style, so they don't give off a true representation of the film itself, but the casting still seems horrible and everyone looks awkward.

DR DOOM Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) It's a flame unit from Aliens?What a gay picture, he may as well have the weapon turned on it's side and his tongue poking out...at least handle the thing like it's a real weapon, douchebag.That Doctor Who guy does not look like a soldier at all.

Estranged Reality Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 the reasons i think it will be good:megan ellison and her brother bought the rights, and they've been recognized for developing artistic/indie projects, even when they seem destined to be financial failures. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/8e4526e0-995b-11e3-b3a2-00144feab7de.html#axzz3I9HzL72tand while actors always compliment whatever the latest film they're putting out is, it's been getting pretty rave comments from arnold and jk simmons (i'd probably trust the latter more than the former), and the secrecy of the whole thing - and the fact that they're tying it into the first two and ignoring the third and fourth - indicates to me that they're really going after the original formula.that said, yeah, this photoshoot was awful. but i don't think everybody realizes that's what it was -- just a photoshoot and not actual stills from the movie.i do like jason clarke and it'll be cool to see arnie back either way, but i have this weird feeling it's gonna end up being a clever action thriller.

Amir Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 One of the screenwriters cowrote Shutter Island, so that's good.The other wrote the screenplays for the Dracula 2000 series. Not so good.Director did Thor 2, which I thought was surprisingly really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Whoever sanctioned that photoshoot should be "terminated" because the negative publicity is really strong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Skeleton plot outlines and spoilers have already began popping up among the interweb. It worries me because I apparently know quite a bit about this movie and the ad campaign is only in its infancy. This is probably going to be a very controversial movie in as far as it redirects Terminator mythology, but put me down with ER for having a good feeling that it is going to surprise everyone in terms of quality.Maybe it's because the film is going to resurrect so many familiar motifs, settings and characters, but what I'm expecting will feel like a Terminator film. They're being very coy about the main villain though...and there's good reason for that...

I really hope you prove us wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The trailer for this was supposed to drop with Interstellar.I have to wonder if they're holding back because of the poor first-impression they made with that magazine article.
