Amph Come with me if you want to live: The Terminator Thread

Yeah, Jai Courtney hasn't impressed me in anything yet; he seems kinda devoid of personality. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now, but he has a lot of convincing to do in this role.

 

He's like a dumber Sam Worthington.

 

VARRO!!!!!

 

Surely Arnie's got to be some sort of Charles-Weyland-in-AvP role in this thing. How the hell is he going to play a T-800 -- unless they go with that very unsettling CGI morph from Salvation?

 

He settled down with a Terminator wife and raised a Terminator family obviously.

 

I watched the original Terminator last night for the first time in many years.

It still seems to me that the terminator infiltrator scene remains one of the greatest in the history of sci fi cinema. I don't think anyone has ever done apocalypse better before or since, and half the time you are seeing some kind of post-apocalyptic image on film it owes something to the atmosphere of the first Terminator.

 

Jabbadabbado - is that because the machine has a plan, the plan goes awry and without saying anything just unleashes a weapon and starts going to town as relentlessly as possible until stopped wordlessly?

And that everyone in the rabbit hole basically immediately springs into action as soon as they hear the dog because they're not idiots?

 

yes

 

The rumored storyline indicates that the Terminator is sent back to when Sarah is a young girl, which would then result in it aging like normal. As noted, the flesh is essentially real in order to fool humans. Reese said that they sweat, smell and bleed like a human. The T-800 in the second film said that the bullet wounds from the T-1000 would heal over time, thus allowing him to pass as human. That kind of damage each one endured towards the end of the films would prevent that much like it would for a normal human being, without serious skin grafts. They might use CGI for the earlier scenes and then have Arnold age normally.

 

^Played by Franco Columbu btw. I don't know what made me think of it today but Arnold did nto take the roll right off. He called Joe Weider at the time and essentially explained it is asome silly scifi movie and Weider said he should just take the role no matter what.

 

THE DOC-TOR HAS BEEN DE-TEC-TED! EX-TERM-INATE! EX-TERM-INATE!

 

Tenner says he's the/a T-1000.

Or maybe a T-40.....

Does 'genesys' mean something that 'genesis' does not?

 

Let's hope it's an in-universe thing, like some kind of Cyberdyne project. It's so EXTREME AND RADICAL!

 

Yeah, if "Genisys" is not the name of some sort of super-secret human / machine / Skynet type of project, I'll eat this post!

Also, to get spoilery, from what I read on HitFix: apparently Arnold's character is "The Guardian", so maybe that has to do with something. I get the feeling he's a Terminator model that's been locked up into storage for, like, a 100 years or so which is why Arnold looks like Arnold now and he's a failsafe against yet another wacky Skynet time travel plan. The flick apparently bounces around the timeline to events of the original Terminator film as well.

I'm down if the series goes way deep into time paradoxes and maybe even alternate timelines, there is a nifty doozy of a paraodx at the core of the first 2 films, the creation of Skynet, but it never went fully down the rabbit hole. Sarah Connor Chronicles sorta did that but I'd take two hours of time paradoxes and Terminators smacking the bejesus outta each other.
