So.. what is this?

It's a reboot, sequel, prequel, alternate timeline version?

 

[JeTmAn81]

Wow, I didn't know much about this movie but that was not what I expected...aren't they just retreading the premise of Terminator 2? I wanted more stuff about the future war, but then again I never watched Terminator Salvation.

My opinion from the other thread:

I really can't believe they are making this movie to completely retcon T1 and T2 out of existence...

The only two movies that are universally considered great in the franchise, are being erased from the timeline.

Who THE FUCK asked for this?

 

[evilromero]

I can't access Facebook from work.

 

[moltonasty]

Arnold...check. T-1000 rehashed...check. Hype levels at 0.....check mate.

 

[Ol No Bones]

This franchise is destined to be rebooted every 15 years or so. Cameron has created a monster.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Fan pandering, nostalgia filled garbage truck juice.

I actually cringed at Emily delivering those lines.

and wtf at the CG on the T-800 at the 23 second mark. Awful.

 

[Bigby]

So.. what is this?

It's a reboot, sequel, prequel, alternate timeline version?

All of those things

 

[kewlmyc]

I'm flakey on my Terminator Timeline and lore, so is this a reboot or a alternate time thing like Star Trek was?

 

[Fezan]

I jusr wish they had better leads. Other wise the movie looks some what good

 

[Jarrod38]

Looks good to me.

 

[Nibel]

Not only did the acting suck ass and the CG seemed average to bad (CG Arnold, come on), but also too many fanservice elements and stupid *wink wink* moments. Ew.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

So.. what is this?

It's a reboot, sequel, prequel, alternate timeline version?

It's bullshit that's what it is.

Who wanted this?

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Ugh. I wish they'd just stop making Terminator films. It's...it's just not working anymore.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Like, honestly, the idea to remix Terminator & Terminator 2 into one movie (almost Evil Dead style, really) isn't a bad one. But if that's all the film is (and I believe that IS all the film is) then you gotta do a way better job selling it than this.

same, this just looks very... rote.

 

[Mix Master]

That bus flip just defied gravity, christ.

someone should gif that

 

[Chezzymann]

Why spell genesis like "Genisys" that's like something a five year old would come up with to sound edgy and cool

 

[SmartBase]

So basically John McClane's boring son

Spoiler

goes back in time to an alternate timeline giving the writers another go at "preventing" judgement day?

Can't believe people get paid to write this.

 

[triplestation]

that is literally horse shit

 

[MarauderShields]

Emilia Clarke should not be in this movie

 

[Korigama]

Perhaps it's because my expectations were already so low, but I would say it at least looks like it might be an improvement over T3 and Salvation (even though that's still not saying much). New T-1000 looks cool. LOL @ the bus flip

 

[Kathian]

It looks awful but I think it could turn out...pretty good.

 

[CragMan241]

That trailer, lol. So this is like a combination of Terminator and Terminator 2 in one movie?

 

[kulapik]

I...I'm confused.

 

[shuri]

Hey kids, how about we remake TWO movies in one?

There is wayyyy too much green screen stuff, and it looks barely finished. Other than that, Story could be.. interesting.

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

So.. what is this?

It's a reboot, sequel, prequel, alternate timeline version?

No joke Im pretty sure it's all of those.

 

[Doctor West]

That looks rancid and the fan pandering was embarrassing.

 

[Ol No Bones]

Where is matt smith?

 

[thefro]

This franchise is destined to be rebooted every 15 years or so. Cameron has created a monster.

Well, the rights revert to Cameron in 2019.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Oof.

 

[bryanee]

lol come on. Its not that bad other than some of shit cgi at the start.

Still gonna see it day one.

 

[block tower]

this looks like straight to Bluray material

 

[triplestation]

she said come with me if you want to live!!!!!

remmbermber in T2 when arnold said that? omg!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sinatar]

Purple lasers are in, so at least it's already better then Salvation.

Pity that Jai Courtney and Emelia Clarke are charisma vacuums.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

I thought it looked alright.

Old Arnold's reveal had me geeking out. So that was cool.

 

[strafer]

Hmm, I wonder if the reason they didn't show much of Arnold is that he wont be in it that much...oh well

 

[BigFwoosh]

I really can't figure out what's going on here story-wise.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Didn't expect to see this kind of recycling outside video game sequels. I mean here there isn't a point to "play it again in better graphics".

 

[lovely ladies]

so this is just one big what if episode?

 

[Sun Bather]

The I will be back scene is possibly even more iconic in this trailer than it was before. The way he crashes into the helicopter, truly amazing.

 

[FairyD]

Lol at the school bus.

 

[Moppeh]

Interesting idea for the plot but the cast looks horrible.

 

[Ishida]

Perhaps it's because my expectations were already so low, but I would say it at least looks like it might be an improvement over T3 and Salvation (even though that's still not saying much). New T-1000 looks cool. LOL @ the bus flip

This is a movie that erases Terminator 1 and 2 from the canon timeline.

What can possible be GOOD about that?

 

[Grifter]

...Guess I like her accent...?

OK, I like that they're trying to recreate the look of T1.

If Sarah's in on everything now, might we get a scene of her forcing herself on Kyle... for the future?

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Byung-hun Lee is T-1000?

Not bad.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So they did it. They actively timeline-erased T1 like it was Xmen 3.

So there's no hope of Cameron fixing this mess.

 

[Dicer]

Looks totally fucking silly, and on that note Day 1, lol....

 

[boinx]

they just keep on fucking these sequels up

 

[Fatal Futanari]

So basically Terminator REMIX. Interesting. Will see
