It's clear from everything after Terminator 2 that James Cameron is the only one that can make a good Terminator movie. Hes got all his eggs invested in the Avatar basket so I assume he's not interested. Arnold's only getting older and the reasons for shoehornIng him in the plot are getting increasingly ridiculous (Dark Fate was the worst offender of this). Without those 2 it just doesn't seem to work --- Your new reigning and defending Guru Champion is azuarc! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'll take Salvation over most of the other Terminator movies. It's like the games. So I'd go back to 3, with the aim of reviving the ideas of 1 with a bit of an IT flair You like T2? I like Abrams Star Trek or Transformers or Nolan. Pretty movies ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'll take Salvation over most of the other Terminator movies. It's like the games.

T3 directly spat in the face of "there is no fate but what we make" by having Arnold literally say "you only postponed (Judgement Day). It was inevitable" and even 13 year old me HATED it. Some of the dialog is iffy at best "you remind me of my MOTHER" and it just shouldn't have been a direct sequel Salvation was just underwhelming to me. I can applaud them trying something different but it's definitely in the bottom tier for me. Felt like a discount Mad Max at times and just not very Terminator-like. Genesys started off on the right foot like someone else said. But by Act 3 it goes off the rails a little. Not to mention there's key plot details they purposely didn't answer because they were banking on a sequel...that we're never gonna get. This was just dumb. And Jai Courtney is a charisma black hole who is a main character that drives the narrative. Dark Fate felt like a soul-less retreading of T2. The evil Terminator is still a cop, but he's a Mexican border patrol agent who can order airstrikes on people >_>. Instead of a computer program called Skynet its an AI program called Legion (seriously guys it's the same fucking thing, and the movie goes out of its way to try and say they're different) --- Your new reigning and defending Guru Champion is azuarc! ...

I agree mainly in the sense that Arnold is an integral part of these movies. I don't think they're worth making without him.

The only things that really didn't work in Salvation were Helena Bonham Carter's ultimate role in the movie and some of the CGI used for the harvester robots. But I'm nitpicking. The movie has otherwise amazing CGI and her character fixes a few things. Worthington had a great character too. Great way to bring a character from the past into the present for a change, and do the body horror again with some new emotions. It's a great piece for setting up a truer Future War film. Going back to T3 though, I've been talking about Shin Godzilla and I just can't shake the idea that a good T3 might look something like that. Shots that look like they came out of a news program with dashcam footage. The Terminator is an evil cop. But IMAX ... Copied to Clipboard!

I just think the Terminator movies don't have enough of a story world/lore for it to act as a franchise. There's only so much people could watch again about Skynet, machines, John connor and some different variations of T-1000.

The only thing that could've worked were more prequels/stuff about the war. Maybe some soft retcons in there to make it interesting. The constant time travel made it too messy.
