What Happened To Terminator Salvation?

[@joemakemelaughnaimoli5478]

Before even watching this, you won't change my mind this is the best of the sequels after T2. Creatively and story wise. And it was the only film that had the balls to try something we hadn't seen before.

[@stuartbagley2586]

Number 3 for me as well. Still the only one that doesn’t rehash the basic plots of the first two.

[@Kant3n]

T1 and T2 both tried things we hadn't seen before.

[@mattrose7821]

Couldn't agree more. Better than T3. Genysis and Dark Fate are absolute garbage

[@alexanderarkum4793]

I completely agree with you brother

[@benzo560]

Indeed. Of course topping T1 and T2 is a tall order uphill both ways to begin with. But Salvation is solid and I concur, the better of the sequels by far.

[@chrisgooch5301]

This was the only film in the series that wasn’t just a rehash of the first two films. I appreciate it for at least trying some thing different.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

This movie is worst big-budget no-story crap movie even worse than T3 at least T3 was not serious

[@hecticstairs]

The only ground left to cover is a proper canonical sequel/prequel of the Terminator and Matrix franchises Bale Keanu and all the rest of the characters coming back would be cool Even find a way to bring Dutch into it

[@memegazer]

imo you can only have this opinion if you never watched genisys genisys was not a rehash of anything that came before in terms of plot in fact it had the balls to cast the johner and the entire timeline of the films before it as the main villian

Exactly it was a sequel/prequel the only one by continuity going forward of setting lore things up that were only talked about in T1 and T2 but finally showing it on the big screen in motion What a shame that no one wants to continue on from this you would think James Cameron would do the right thing to have already done something about this of continuing on from that but NOOOPE But then again the Cameron of today society yeah I don't trust him.

I still don't understand the hate with the CGI Arnold T800. I think it still holds up today, especially for 2009 tech.

I think it's gets the hate because it was based of a younger looking Arnold. If the terminator looked rinkly and old it would look better and people would of been happier because it would of looked like the current day Arnold Schwarzenegger. Quite weird and intimidating when you think about it a Terminator that looks old.

[@frankrodasky5260]

Look deeper into the Bale crack up; the lightning guy would purposely spoil shots he didn’t like by stepping into frame to “check the levels.” Cinematographers are known to similarly shake or bump the camera to make the footage they didn’t like unusable. Bale was protecting his and his fellow actors work.

[@mikespearwood3914]

You didn't like throwminators?

[@noelburland7169]

Salvation at least tried to do something different by setting itself in a post-apocalyptic world that didn't include time travel, but the story needed a lot more refinement before they went ahead with filming. They set Salvation in the new timeline established by T3 where Judgement Day happened in 2004, not 1997. They should have ignored the events of T3 and aligned this film with the events established by T1 and T2. There are other smaller details like the fact that large amounts of the film are set in daylight hours when Kyle Reese mentions in the first film that they moved around at night to avoid detection. The central concept of this intended triology begun by Salvation seemed to be about John Connor's rise from prophecy maker to leader of the resistance who ultimately defeats Skynet. It could have been fascinating but things fell through and since then we have had two terrible films (Genysis and Dark Fate) which tried to reboot the franchise but both failed spectacularly. I think a carefully planned out future war film set when the Resistance finally defeats Skynet, with Kyle Reese and the reprogrammed T800 being sent back in time to protect Sarah and John Connor respectively, could be a money maker, although it seems that James Cameron intends to try another reboot (this time a complete one).

Its sad seeing something get hated on that had so much potential going forward, it just deserved the chance that it never got

[@fatboydim.7037]

The first 4 films follow a linear plot line and do follow on with each other. Gensys started off quite well till they managed to build a time machine in a sewer and suddenly it descends into techno babble. T3 has the best ending as well.

[@JuilanXAnime3188]

Exactly T1 to T4 there storys are literally connected in natural continuity if anyone is smart enough to listen and pay attention to the references and dates Salvation really is the last continuity film in the franchise since 1984 The Terminator.

I was listening to KROQ when he called in and apologized for it! It was right before I had class. Good times

I actually really loved the setting and innovations of Terminator Salvation, and wanted it to do better than it did. I really enjoyed all the different hunter killer and early models T600s. I would have like a series based on the Rise of the machines, covering things just after the nukes like in some of the novels, computer and video games and the amusement park ride. I wish this movie would have come out much closer to Sarah Connor Chronicles, Season one and before the writers strike. I think the Terminator franchise would have fared better with all those projects reinforcing the brand and each other.

It was a movie ahead of its time and a shame it didn’t get another movie.

Eliminating a topless shot of Moon Bloodgood is NEVER a good idea.
