[@biglightball]

Not necessarily. I don't know any of the movies after the third movie. From what I see in such short clips I see that they suck too much to watch them and ruin my respect for three first movies. Let's assume that this story is real, not a fictional movie. If John haven't yet send a Terminator in the past, then he knows that's in his future. If that's in his future, then he knows that he's not gonna die any earlier. That's how our deterministic universe works. The future is already set. I doubt if the scriptwriters had this fact on their mind in earlier movies, but if they did, then they did a good job.

I loved this flick, still do

[@Art1stical]

I find extremely coherent the fact that this happens while Skynet and humanity were still at an actual war. Humanity still had resources, like choppers and A-10 planes, and the fact that they shoot bullets shows how relatively early in the future this happens. It really seems the T-800 model changed the course of the war, seeing it as it looks like it becomes the main workhorse in Skynet's army. Little wonder the series is centered around that model.

[@TheFacelessStoryMaker]

Well this is 2019. A full decade before the bleak future war of 2029 we see in T1 and T2. So it does make sense the resistance would field remnant vehicles and weapons and possibly producing their own ammo until Skynet destroys their capacity to wage war.

So many things wrong with it. PG-13. The Terminator throws John Conner around like a cliche 80's bad guy. Common is wearing sun glasses at night during a night raid. Not really violent. When I watch the future scenes in T2 and even T1 they project a terrible situation. I never felt this way in this movie. I don't blame the actors though. The directing and script were awful.

The mushroom cloud at the VLA site was CGI. Later explosions at the gas station and Terminator fuel cell factory were practical effects using miniatures and plenty of gasoline. The napalm attack during Marcus' escape used a tanker load of diesel and lots of explosives. McG loves to blow stuff up.

@@VSMOKE1 Maybe you should shut up. If they wouldn't kill John Connor on the beginning, then maybe i would like it. But they killed him only to replace him with a girl that can't act for shit. For example, that line when she said: "I want to stand and fight" like really you expect me to believe that she can fight? This movie is a rehash of T1 and T2 with "GOOD" elements from other terminators. The other thing is that this movie destroyed T1 and T2, because what's the point of keeping John alive in T2 if then Generic Teenage girl can replace him. Another thing is if the movie was good, then why they gonna lose $100.000? I know why because Tim Miller before releasing this garbage said that Grace or whatever her name was will scare the f**k out of misogynistic trolls. What normal person says something like this?

And it was the only movie that portrays the future war in a sensible way. The previous movies showing a handful of ragtag infantry who have a few technicals and homemade explosives taking on armies of machines while otherwise barely dwelling in sewers and basements was kinda stupid. The humans still have enough remaining war machines and infrastructure to repair and maintain them that they can still wage some real war and even keep some sectors relatively machine free.

But here we see that the world wasn’t just burnt to a crisp and actually has some left over remnants. The Military feels like it’s a mix between original styled uniformity and some chaotic randomness. We weren’t show Connor as the general but in his beginnings.

I dont get the hate for this movie, its far better than the later sequels, I liked how it was set in the machine war and following John's battle against sky net, it's really good

[@roguespartan2854]

That was mainly because back then, the main storyline had plot holes and story points that didn't make sense, like Marcu's purpose in the movie. It was only after Genesys and Dark Fate came out, and ended up being even worse received. For me, I liked somethings in all 3. They have their own merits as well as flaws

[@peoplez129]

People didn't like it because it's still a departure from T2. People wanted the future war to be covered, but not like this. They wanted the nitty gritty slums of humanity trying to survive. This wasn't that. This was just John Conner in a bunker. They also wanted the actual full war, not some piece of it, which we got the ending of in Genisys, but Genisys was crap for its own reasons. Basically, people wanted this movie to be like the war in Genisys, except everything leading up to it, not just a few quick cutscenes of Conner defeating skynet. They wanted battle chronicles that lead up to the end of the war, and the end of the war battle. This only gave people a small taste, and lingered too much in an early timeline of the war, ending with no developments in the series nor closure, which is what people wanted after all those years. Keep in mind, T2 came out in 1991. T3 came out in 2003. This came out in 2009. So from most peoples perspective, they were patiently waiting nearly 20 years for a satisfying conclusion to the terminator franchise. They were ready for that closure. But all they got was more of the story being dragged on and trickle fed. I mean imagine, you're waiting that long for the end to a franchise, and all you get is a "to be continued", that wasn't even picked up again for several more years. People would have rather T4 gave full closure and then if there were anymore terminator movies, they'd be completely new ones touching on other lore like the comic book time travel lore, which is what should have happened. Instead we got Jenisys and Lame Fate.

He really trusted that guy who tied the rope off to not fuck around. Imagine if the rope guy had tripped up or something. If this movie had focus on more awesome scenes like this instead of the story basically being centred around Marcus Wright, it would have been an absolutely epic Terminator movie. The sound and visual FX were incredible. I just wish the story had focused on John and the resistance fighting in battles against the Terminators. It was way to focused on Marcus Wright. They should have just cast Sam Worthington as one of Johns resistance fighters. The story should have focused on awesome battles between the terminators and the resistance.

John knows he's untouchable, because he knows that he eventually goes on to win the war. So he knows that anything he does is something his future self already did and survived. So he just trusts his instincts. That doesn't mean he's going to go stand in front of a terminator and goad it into shooting him like he's neo from the matrix that can stop bullets. But he knows that as long as he does what he thinks is right, he will be fine and go on to defeat skynet.

Well 1: Its an older model 2: It was caught in the missile explosion and hit by a burst of 30mm from the A-10s gatling cannon 3: The 5.56x45mm NATO round is still a good round but considering how weak the machine was it makes sense a burst from the M4 took it out.

[@pliskenx51mm83]

T-600's armor wasn't as strong as the T-800s that surpassed them. The T-600 wasn't able to withstand small arms fire as well.

[@ergomedasa1362]

@@pliskenx51mm83 Also my guess is that they used armorpiercing rounds (maby even some kind of depleted uranium) to take out the T600, also its not without reason that they scavenged/developed and switched to plasmaweapons later when the t800 arrived on the battlefield.

[@pliskenx51mm83]

@@ergomedasa1362 When Skynet started mass producing plasma weapons that were small enough for Terminators to carry, the resistance captured some off of Terminators they destroyed and started using them in place of powder cartridge based rifles like the M4. Terminator Salvation was supposed to be the start of a trilogy, so I imagine if they had had a direct sequel to Salvation we would have seen T-800s still using conventional weapons like the M4 and maybe even miniguns but as the movie went on we'd see more Terminators fielding early plasma rifles, then I imagine in the third film all the T-800s would be sporting the early Plasma rifles. Which would have been awesome to see the evolution of both the T-800s and their weapons as the trilogy progressed. As for 5.56 vs a T-600 as opposed to a T-800 like we saw in this scene. I imagine Connor is using just regular M855 62 gr FMJ 5.56 which is a very common rifle round for 5.56 NATO rifles. Although it may be M193 55gr FMJ 5.56 since the bombs fell in 2003 in this timeline. But we see Connor kill a T-600 with a simple headshot from a 5.56 rifle, where as later he empties a whole mag of 5.56 into a T-800 later and it just absorbed it like they were 6mm bbs from an airsoft gun.
