But did anyone say BR2049 or Tree of Life/Gravity/Dunkirk will be a watershed moment like SW 40 years ago or LOTR 20 years ago? I don't think so. And i don't think it's purely visuals he was amazed by. Again, it is one man's opinion, we'll see what word is closer to release. I just want to be excited for something for once, there's so little to be excited about these days movie wise.

The TV show was alright (at least the 1st season) but compared to the movies (T1 & T2) there's no comparison. -

That's some alternate history. Terminator clearly peaked in 1991. -

@scabab We are back at T3, Salvation and Gensys should never have happened. -

For sure. It doesn't deserve to flop as badly as it does. As good as it is, the filmmakers didn't do themselves any favors by basically rehashing the story told better 30 years ago. You can get away with it if you are Star Wars. Also, with Star Wars it was a long wait between Ep 6 and Ep 7, a long time since the original actors' return. Had T3, Salvation and Gensys not happened, i think hype would have been a lot higher for Dark Fate. -

I think it was more than just Furlong not being able to reprise his role. I mean, why not recast him, then? Hell, the future John Connor in T2 didn't look anything like Edward Furlong. And you can get away with it since he was still a child and people change a lot in 30 years growing up. I think, based on interviews, they didn't know what to do with the character of John Connor, him not being the savior anymore. Because i feel like they didn't want T1 and T2 to feel meaningless by saying they didn't prevent anything. At least that way they did prevent "a" possible future war. And his death was supposed to be a catalyst for Sarah Connor to kick her story off. They wanted her back. I'm sure one could have done it differently, maybe better than what they came up with. Like i have been saying, personally, i would have scratched all that and done the future war. -

Only because they let themselves be restricted, meaning filmmakers and also part of the fandom. For them, it is a chase movie with Arnold as T-800. In my opinion, one could tell great stories during the future war. Salvation had the right idea, only the execution was not quite up to scratch. -

Finally saw it. Miller is no Cameron and Holkenberg is no Fiedel, so it lacks the awesomeness. Enjoyed it, nonetheless, for what it was. Good, believable, cast, although some of the characters took it a little too well that there are killing machines from the future, but that's more the script. And it was so cool to see Sarah Connor, again! Have to stress, though, i wish they channeled more of the Fiedel score, it is so much of what makes Terminator Terminator. They never get that right. They almost made me shed a tear at the end, though, so that speaks for it. When and with the knowledge of its box office performance (and his age), it really hit me. Yes, you won't. Ah, kinda sad. 😥 But i can live with that ending. It doeasn't really need a sequel. -

That's true to some extent. They did that for a while untill it became clear during production that they got the go ahead to go R-rated. -

How many more times does it need to be said it's R-rated (including from filmmakers) untill you believe it?
