Was this a joke?:eek:
In August, when I heard about a new Terminator movie being filmed, I was jazzed. Then I went to see the Two Towers, and the trailer looks ridiculous. Arnold just seemed silly.
The Terminatrix looked kinda cool, though.
Don’t misunderstand me, I’m probably going to see it when it comes out, I just expect to be disappointed now.
Anyone else see it, have any opinions?
I would have a more informed opinion on it except I was mesmerized by the display to the right of me in the theater. These two 20-something German (or maybe Austrian?) tourists were absolutely flipping out about it. Bouncing in their seats. Going all ga-ga. It was fascinating.
So they appeared to have been majorly stoked. It looked OK. But then most action films look thesame in trailers. Surely the trailer was nothing spectacular. I expect a better one come Spring.
When the fem-T turned around I expected it to have the face of Sarah Conner.
I didn’t get that trailer at my theater. Not that I remember them all. I do remember Nemo, The Core and Pirates of the Caribbean. Although that last one was more teaser than trailer.
Arden, if you’ve got Quicktime, you can download the T3 trailer here.
Was it the same trailer as this?

Thanks, friedo. But I’m not sure I care enough about a T3 movie to mess with it.
Sounds like you had a completely different set then I did Arden. Although I can’t for the life of me remember a single other film from my previews.
I didn’t really need to hear the line…
“She’ll be back…”
That movie looks awful. Even the image quality stank. I have to admit, that ocean floor of skulls at the beginning got me but I couldn’t care less about the rest.
Thanks.
No Linda Hamilton.
No Edward Furlong.
No James Cameron.
It’ll be good sure, it does have Arnold, but I doubt it’ll beat T1/T2.
Yeah, why no Edward Furlong? He and Nick Stahl, who is playing John Connor, are about the same age.
Not only did Hamilton and Cameron bailed, even the composer bailed. the only thing aside from the FX that was better about the second one than the first Terminator was the music. Now the music won’t sound right. This movie will suck.
Now, maybe I’ve been hibernating for awhile, but haven’t there been an awful lot of sub-par sequels lately?
Don’t get me started on ‘Dumb and Dumberer.’ For your own sake.
Oh gee, thanks. I had actually already forgotten about that preview. Now I have to relive the horror… :rolleyes:
Oh, yeah. That was in there too. I didn’t know my eyes could roll that far back in my head.
They actually made D&D2? I thought that was a hoax years ago!
As for T3 the fact that even though they don’t have good careers at the moment Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong bailed on it after reading the script tells me everything I need to know.
The only way a third would be cool is if they’d set it all in the Skynet controlled future. Rehashing the plot of T2 and making the T 1000 a woman is just lame. Not that female terminators are rot, just how can you improve on a liquid metal robot?
Besides which didn’t they stop Skynet from happening at the end of the last movie?
Gotta love Arnold…for years he said he’d never do another Terminator movie.
Now, after some awful (and not particulary profitable) films, he’s back yet again.
Actually, I thought the trailer actually looked rather decent. The Endoskeletons look a bit fresher, and all the shots of the future look pretty cool. As for the rest of it though…yeah, it does look like a complete rehash that rewrites everything from previous movies…but then again, T2 was he same thing and that turned out really well. I’m sure I’ll see it, find it a guilty pleasure, and enjoy my matinee movie.
As for Silentgoldfish’s question about stoping Skynet in the last movie…well, according to the first one, Skynet fell in the future and the Terminator was sent back in time as a “Last ditch effort.” According to the first film, T2 shouldn’t have happened. That’s the wonderful thing about movies…you can rewrite them however you want, and people will still pay to see them. How much they’ll pay this time around, though…?
Envision the Chances seeing TTT last night (a baby free night out!)
On comes the T2 trailer…
JC: “Well, I certainly hope the terminator loses that leather shirt at some point.”
LC: Whack!
When you’re dealing with time travel, you can just do whatever the hell you want. Oh, so you stopped Skynet in T2? Well, that just means that T2 didn’t happen, so they couldn’t have really stopped Skynet, right? So then Skynet will happen, and then T2 can happen, so they can stop Skynet. So Skynet won’t happen. It all makes perfect sense…
