Eh... It's okay I guess. It's just generic summer action movie with some cool stuff and a funny meme video that came with it

A lot fucking better than T3 tho imo

is this canon with the rest and Genysis?
Genysis seems to retcon Salvation at the beginning somewhat

couple of rewrites and it coulda been good

It was a fun movie. Refreshing that they changed the formula after 3. Lame that the trailer and all promo material revealed the plot twist, although there are some major hints in the movie.

And one major plothole that came to my attention barely a year ago: So Marcus was made by the machines to fuck John Connor. But why at the end of the movie? There were so many opportunities for Marcus to be overrrided and flat out kill John Connor.

One thing that actually bugged me a bit about Salvation was the lack of laser guns. All depictions of the future in previous movies showed lasers being blasted in all directions. Even Genisys had this. I don't think it would've fit with the gritty feel of the movie though.
Also, don't know how this was not mentioned yet

For what it's worth it's still disappointing how badly it depicts the apocalypse. There's no nuclear winter , piles of bodies or darkened skies over husks of megacities oh and yeah fuck LA being the centre of the world. movies set in/ around LA raise a red flag.

It was okay up until giant robots and Terminator fish.

Also Helena Carter was bad casting, I never bought her character for one second...even when she was human.

Oh and the submarine shit was stupid. The A-10 scenes were fucking great though.

Awful. Couldn't believe how bad it was.

It had a strong cast and proper budget but the script was absolutely trash.

In hindsight Bale was certainly miscast but I can't blame the total disfunction of it on him.

Not a film, so it doesn't get rated within the same parameters.

Movies have between 1 - 4 hours to set up an introduction, a middle, and an end.

Shows have entire seasons which can add up to 10 hours+ each.

I like it but it's a meme to hate it.
/tv/ prefers memes over actually critical debate.

How's this for debate?

Nobody cares enough about Terminator Salvation to hate it because it's boring and anybody who likes Terminator 2 over the first one is a giant faggot who's ruining movies with their shit taste.

It's not very good at all. Even though it had a kind of fun premise it's still ugly as sin and poorly executed.
>>
>>67653289
Pointless to the overall plot of terminator. It ends up being a story about how John Connor got a scar on his face. The trailer with NIN was the only good thing about this movie. Still pissed about how disappointing this movie was.

Why didn't Bale stop him the first time?
Why did he wait for the distraction to double?

Favorite post-T2 Terminator movie. Great action sequences, the plotline that Skynet would create a Terminator unaware that it was one for infiltration was pretty smart, it just got hobbled by some shitty scenes.

he flipped out when he realized Marcus was actually the hero of the film.

>Bale overacting and being awful
>McG changing the ending because he is a spineless faggot.

Original ending has the Hybrid replacing Connor after he dies and leading the Resistance. It was "too dark" to have a Connor fighting against SkyNet that is in fact a Terminator. Not only it was perfect ending for this shit because every time they talk about him in the future everybody talks about him being pretty much like a machine that never stops fighting and leading the resistance but also made sense that it was near impossible he had survived so long after having a whole fucking robot armada trying to kill him.

>>67653371
Either none of them are canon anymore with Genysis or they're all canon because of multiple timelines or whatever bullshit you want to apply. "Each time you go back in time, it makes an alternate universe" or whatever theory I'm sure you've heard before.

Or they could all not be canon anymore, since Skynet sends a Terminator to when Sarah Connor is 9 years old.

But someone else sent a Terminator to protect, which would imply other timelines are still canon...

You know what, nevermind, fuck it. Fuck Terminator anymore.
>>
>>67653289
For whatever reason I like the premise and the style of the film which makes me want to love the film but it is fundamentally flawed. I like the idea of a Terminator film taking place entirely in the future, because the Terminator franchise has already been bogged down with too many time breaking plots, but it was a mess.
>>
>Terminator Salvation nor Genysis did the future war right

That's all I wanted
>>
>>67655841
The whole reason Marcus worked was because he believed he was human.

Even if they somehow had the chip override his thought process, his subconscious would be aware, and possibly fight it.

It boils down like the Matrix with Salvation. Skynet made Marcus retain all his humanity; that was where John Connor would be exploited, his weakness.

Though, you're correct, so many different things could have killed Connor in Salvation (those water machines when he chases after Marcus, him crashing the helicopter, him following Marcus to LA Skynet, the T-800 [well technically he did die from this], and the powercell building explosion).


All in all

>Direct sequel to Salvation
>Kyle Reese(still played by Yelchin) is training for the day that John(probably not played by Bale) will send him back in time
>Kyle starts to doubt the importance of this time travel plan and doesn't completely believe John's story
>Skynet realizes that if they want to stop John from being born, they have to attack the love that brought Kyle and Sarah together
>Skynet puts it's sentient brain into a T-X or something and the terminator ends up looking like Helena Bonham Carter
>HBC tracks down Kyle, putting him and John in dangerous situations and action scenes
>HBC eventually gets a hold of Kyle and it turns out she doesn't plan to kill him. She's going to seduce him.
>If he falls in love with HBC, he can't fall in love with Sarah.
>John has to rescue Kyle from having robot sex with HBC

Would you watch it?

Sidenote: Those paintings in the back are from the elevator in the Haunted Mansion at DisneyLand. Pretty neat.
