It would be pretty ineffective as an infiltration unit if it didn't.

 

[s_mirage]

I'm actually intrigued by this but the casting kind of sucks. Emilia Clarke completely lacks any kind of gravitas, and Jai Courtney looks as much like Michael Biehn as I do (not at all).

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

Looks really bad. First Robocop ruined and now time for Terminator.

Eh this makes the new Robocop look like a godfather 2 level sequel.

I didn't mind the new robocop though. I liked it more than 2, and never saw 3. Original is still best though

They just straight up ripped off the truck flip from Dark Knight.

It's not even subtle, even the damn sound effect is the same.

that fuckin' bus flip is straight out of a Marvel Studios movie

I thought they were just one upping T3.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I hope Matt comes back and says, "Don't make me bust you up, man!"

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I thought they were just one upping T3.

Shh Nolan and Marvel invented narrative storytelling and cinema.

 

[Currygan]

Looks fun. Will watch, just like every one of you will.

lol, I won't. The cast had already put me off big time, this just looks like teeny action movie 45195 that may or may not be passable. there's no atmosphere, just quick cuts. and no James Cameron, so who gives a shit really

 

[huxley00]

I thought they were just one upping T3.

I don't really see a problem with that, seems plausible at least. That bus scene from the new trailer looked completely ridiculous and impossible.

 

[Ishida]

Not me.

 

[Edwardo]

Not rly a fan at all of the main actor, but i'll probably watch it for Khaleesi and Arnold

 

[Neuromancer]

Pretty disrespectful title imo. Genisys is obviously a portmanteau of genesis and system which makes sense if you're intoTerminator lore like I am. James Cameron didn't swim down to the bottom of the ocean just so his universe could be made fun of on the Internet.

Right, and Guardians of the Galaxy is the greatest risk a studio ever took.

NeoGAF just shot itself in the foot. I don't know if the members here know anything about Terminator lore but I'm sure you're an expert.

honestly I was thinking the same thing though: I've seen this shit so much already, and it doesn't even happen in reality (mythbusters checked, couldn't even flip it without serious firepower).

I will take T2 or Matrix Reloaded highway scenes over yet another flipping bus / truck / whatever.

 

[m_shortpants]

smh

exposed.

it's been a long fucking time since I saw T1. My mistake

 

[TheKaeptain]

Why is it even flipping?

 

[Gambit 1138]

Why is it even flipping?

maybe a terminator tossed it into the sky?

James Cameron didn't swim to the bottom of the ocean so his iconic franchise could be turned into a series of more and more farcical sequels made by inept toads

You should at least wait until Avatar 3 is out before making a statement like that

 

[PsychBat!]

Guy in the back is high as fuck

What did they do for the top gif? To pull it off, I mean.

 

[FyreWulff]

Prosthetic blended into his actual chest with makeup

Spoiler

I just watched the Skynet edition T2 Blu ray last week

He's also standing in front of a metal pole that actually takes the hit from the pool stick

 

[Bodacious]

Just watch T2 again.

 

[Dead Man]

So they sent a t800 back to when Sarah was a kid or something?

 

[Last Hearth]

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?

The only great one was the first Terminator. 2nd one was trash as were the others.

 

[Blargonaut]

The only great one was the first Terminator. 2nd one was trash as were the others.

T1 and T2 are two sides of the same coin, perfect complements to each other. All other T-films are non-canon fanfic in my mind.

BUT LEAVE T2 ALOOOOONNEEE

Well he got his "edgy" responses so job well done. Well executed troll drive by.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

T3 and Salvation sucked. Is it even possible for them to remotely approach T1/T2 levels of greatness?

I mean, this film seems like a blend of T1 and T2 story points, regrafted onto a new timeline.

 

[Moonkid]

Hah, just watched the episode this .gif is from. You can't lose if you don't play the game, the game of time-travel that is.

 

[RangersFan]

Holy shit, Byung-Hun Lee is a terminator? Cool, I'm on board.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

-Arnold is looking great.
-Does this require knowledge about the earlier movies? I'm already confused
-How old is the girl supposed to be? Is she old enough to be playing with guns? It's sticking out like a sore thumb to me.

 

[MisterFalcon]

Emilia Clarke is the same age Linda Hamilton was for Terminator 1. The problem is she looks and acts like innocent waitress Sarah Connor while she's supposed to be badass Skynet-fighting Sarah Connor.

 

[harriet the spy]

To be fair Hamilton wasn't a badass until T2. Still, Clarke really looks too harmless for the role.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Dat shitty CGI. I have to say, arnie jumping out of the help and smashing into another one was a nice touch.

 

[Coreda]

Gonna need in gif form.

 

[Hesemonni]

Sooooo, Matt Smith is nowhere to be seen?

 

[Toa TAK]

Oh mah goodness, thank you.

That's just too much.

 

[lastplayed]

He's playing the guy who was sleeping with Sarah's roommate.

[ComputerMKII]

Sonya Walger from the Sarah Connor Chronicles looks more like Sarah Connor than Lena Headey or Emilia Clarke do

 

[Log4Girlz]

I'VE BEEN SENT BACK TOO FAR

 

[Danj]

I'll probably still watch it. But yeah, the plot seems ropey as all hell.

 

[Doomshroom]

Oh i dont think anyone here is going to not watch it

No such thing.

Whining and crying.
