idk who is t800 lol, forgot old movies le



issit a must watch? coz you mention is a letdown :o



lol :s13:



would you recommend someone to watch? i find T2 not bad
Is it a must watch? Good question. I will say yes.

If you love the 1st 2 films but hated how the franchise went downhill ever since, this will help towards restoring some faith.

Even if you are not familiar or a fan of the franchise, there are enough good scenes in this movie inspired by/adapted from the original 2 films which make it a fun movie on its own right. Not yet on par with T1 or T2, but serviceable/good enough.

Most say they chose Emilia Clarke solely because she was on Game of Thrones, so there's that appeal there.

A questionable choice to play Sarah Connor when compared to Linda Hamilton's portrayal in T1 & T2. Maybe this is part of how the story has changed from what we know in T1 & T2 and thus how the character of Sarah Connor has changed as well. However I can't shake off this feeling Emilia Clarke just looks & acts too "young" for Sarah Connor (even though she's almost 30 IRL)

Its pretty awesome! To be honest its the best sequel after T2 and its definitely the official T3 in my mind.


Jason clarke protray the best john connor amongst all the stupid sequel, include bale, bale doesnt have the charisma like jason did. Overall jason as john win my impression for the best connor. Man of few words but yet protray a very strong character.

*spoiler*

Even as a bad guy he didnt lose his coolness, and part of personality still remain after the corruption.


I love this film. If t1 and 2 is 10, this film would easily score 8/10
I share similar sentiments about Terminator Genisys as the sequel the franchise deserves.

Sadly I feel Jason Clarke is overshadowed by the poor choices of Emilia Clarke & Jai Courtney. Feels like they are some couple from the Step Up film series rather than Terminator :s13:

Contrary to what most ppl say here abt t4, I really liked it. t5 would have been totally great only if - they didn't let us in earlier that jc was the baddie. And I just can't quite figure out how does the guardian know that jc was bad and shot him immediately on sight (anyone care to explain?). Major plot hole for me. Anyway, t2 is still my fave and I'll probably rate this 7.5/10. Can catch it in the cinema on weekdays.

Not hard to understand, Pop is programmed to shoot anything that isnt human.

T800 has his in-built scanner, he can profile other Terminators as well as humans.

If I recall the actual scene, he could not profile John Connor, possibly since he was a more advanced Terminator model, hence it was clear to him that this John Connor was not human and thus a threat to Sarah Connor. Logically speaking, as long as John Connor does not register as human, that's an immediate warning sign, right?

Agree about the trailer reveal, shouldn't have spoiled it for us so soon.

I am not sure if they cut the scene or what but some part is missing:

What happen after arnold found out t3000 who disguise as a fbi lady and fought with him? The next scene of arnie show up getting up the chopper and suddenly t3000 has a assault rifle, some scene is missing.


The scene on how t3000 get a new chopper were also omitted.

I agree. I like Jason Clarke's portrayal of John Connor. Really had that "Seh" and coolness.. Haha..

The police station scenes are somewhat messy and nowhere as good as the original police station scene from T1. The sequence of events if I recall is something like this:


SPOILERS



Arnold shoots T3000, saves the detective and chases after T3000.

Detective frees Sarah Connor, Sarah passes by young Kyle & then gives him the "straight line don't look back" pep talk before escorting young Kyle & his parents to safety.

Meanwhile I think it is Arnold who gets adult Kyle. (This part is where I seriously can't recall, I find too chaotic and not memorable at all)

Anyway they regroup in the police armory where the detective returns them their bag of C4 charges and leads them up to the helipad after they rearm.

T3000 reaches the roof just as Arnold, Kyle & Sarah are boarding. Arnold retaliates while Kyle pilots them away to safety. This is where T3000 is shooting them with a rifle.

Since there are 2 helicopters, T3000 pilots the remaining one and chases after Arnold, Kyle & Sarah.


T3000 did not get a new chopper. His chopper crashed after Arnold takes it out but by then they are all at Cyberdyne HQ already. It is logically assumed that T3000 simply swims ashore and reaches the office before anyone else. If you recall the chopper crashes right at the helipad of Cyberdyne.

The original Terminator 1 was an action thriller. Every sequel after it (yes, even T2) were just low-depth action flicks.

I agree that Termninator Genisys was pretty good.

Interesting, perhaps even bold, ideas that provide a fresh perspective retelling the story as we know from T1 & T2. A great way to bring back memorable scenes from the first two films.

I think casting was a big flaw of this movie which brings it down a lot.

Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor? Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese? IMO, I find both of them too "youthful" to portray their respective characters, not necessarily real age (both are 29 reaching 30) but their demeanor & overall appearances. Not tough & "gruff" enough if you ask me.

You are forgetting that Kyle is returning to a different timeline so the Sarah Connor is not the one we used to see in T1 &T2...I am not so sure on Jai but I find Emilia performance quite OK..

Better than expected. Good pacing, didn't feel bored at all. I find Emilia Clarke a bit too ginah, a bit like Ellen Page like that.
