The Terminator: James Cameron's Future War

"The Terminator: James Cameron's Future War"
I made this fan video because I'm a huge fan of the two Terminator movies by James Cameron.
The video consists of three Future War scenes from "The Terminator" and "T2: Judgment Day".
I'm not the first person on KZbin that decided to post Future War scenes from "The Terminator" movies, but most of those videos are poor quality and badly edited,
so I made my own video...It took some time to edit, hope you guys like it.
I didn't include the Future War scene from "Terminator 3", because one, it wasn't made by Cameron and two, I absolutely hate it.
The sound effects in the T3 Future War scene are all wrong and they didn't capture James Cameron's visual style at all, also, the human resistance members and John Connor look like a bunch of flag-waving hillbillies.
In Cameron's movies, the resistance members are organized, battle hardened and their uniforms kick ass.
Enjoy the video and buy these two movies on DVD/Bluray, they are works of art and belong in anyones movie collection...and do yourself a favor, forget about "Terminator 3", pretend it never was created.

[@Wglass90]

Def Blinders If they ever did a film during this period it would have to have time travel, but only showing Kyle & the T-800 being sent back to 1984 at the end setting up the events in Terminator (1984) that started everything and lead us to this point.

[@jasonleetaiwan]

There needs to be just one more Terminator film made set in the future where the fighting and strategy is similar to what we can see in the 1984 and 1991 films. Make it look like that and put the time travel stuff at the end of the film instead of the beginning. Perhaps a nice twist ending is that Skynet doesn't get to send any Terminators at the end of this timeline which would essentially end the series with John winning. We would actually want to see that and not a million different iterations of Terminators returning in time to kill somebody that offended Skynet or some other AI in the future. Every time a Terminator goes back in time, the story is technically not over. It means the story has continued but in the past. Therefore, John and his army have to stop the time travel altogether for the story to actually end.

[@richardched6085]

Ok we do need a new Film. Everything leading up to T1 and that is IT! FUTURE WAR DONE RIGHT!!!!!!! DO IT JUST DO IT. ITS NOT THAT DIFFICULT. There is so much you could do with the Original Vision of the Future War; Its just a palette of Stories waiting to be told. SO JUST DO IT!

[@stanleybroniszewsky8538]

When you think about it, it really didn't make any sense to bring back in time various Terminators and their nemesis. The war HAD to happen as was mentioned in T3. Had there been no future war, there would have been no need to send anyone or anything back in time. That's why to me, the Terminator franchise should have stopped after T4. The war eventually began and now it's time for battle and survival.

[@hifi8844]

Why don't they just make a prequel in this style to terminator 1 for the next one. Then after that forget dark fate and do another sequel to t2 set in this future war or a little mix of this and time travel. However the damage has kind of been done to the franchise now. Its like us fans they don't listen to just fo there own shitty thing. T1 and t2 were simply master pieces it's such a shame probs the greatest action films made I remember watching t2 as a kid over and over stunned by how good it was.

Best movie by parsecs...all the sequels were about jokes, one liners...bs.the first was lightvyears more real .

[@MacEwanMouse]

I love it because you can see it in his eyes and his face, how he scans left and right, observing without an ounce of emotion. He's just taking in data and formulating a plan how best to counter the enemy, he's a human terminator. I only needed one shot of his face, and his demeanor, and I instantly understood why Skynet would wager so much stake into the last ditch effort of time travel to stop him, BEFORE he was even born, before he had a chance to become what he did.

[@HoneyBadger363]

I did like Christian Bale's John Connor for a younger version of John Connor. John was born in 1985, so by the time of Salvation, the year is 2018 where John is now 33. John wasn't the supreme leader of the Resistance until the end of Salvation, so he still had some gorwing up to do. By the time this iconic scene takes place, John is now 44, giving him that timeless badass hardened look.

@@KeysAndDoorss John Connor becomes the leader of the Resistance in 2015, that is 17 years into the war. The Future War clips in the movies would probably be somewhere in the 2024-2029 timeframe, the late stage of the war. However, the destruction of Skynet wouldn't be the end of the war. Terminator Genesys had it wrong when every Terminator stopped operating when Skynet's mainframe was destroyed. It doesn't make sense, because if that is what would happen, then no Terminator could be sent back in time without becoming inoperable. Also, in a deleted scene from Terminator 2, it's mentioned that the Terminators have Neural Net Processor CPU's "learning computers" that is switched to "read only" when they're sent out alone. To me that would imply that infiltrating units have the learning mode switched off, but that the mass army groups could likely have them switched on, allowing them to learn. So when Skynet is destroyed, the work of wiping humans out could still be carried on, in particular, by the Terminators with active learning computers. I think the only things dependent upon Skynet directly would be resource gathering, research and development, and manufacturing...those would all cease when Skynet is destroyed. Giving humanity a chance to destroy them all before some start figuring out how to manufacture Terminators again or WMD's like nukes or chemical weapons. It would likely be a long mopping up process. Therefore I would view the destruction of Skynet to be more like what the battle of Gettysburg was for the Civil War.

@@Eluzian86 "Sarah Connor Chronicles" had an interesting concept in it, a rogue faction of machines that were independent of Skynet.

This is why T1 and T2 are so revered. Every moment seen in the Future War feels like a desperate struggle for survival. The "sea of skulls", the people hiding under the debris, the ragged sense of desperation all of the people show, how Kyle has become detached by all the death and destruction around him, how the resistance truly feels like a ragtag group of soldiers being held together under the power of one man, said man having a look in his eyes like he's seen some serious shit, etc. Neither Salvation nor Genisys understood this aesthetic. Salvation was especially guilty of just making the Future War a crappy knockoff where most of the war takes place in a drab wasteland.

The man feeding himself scraps of something that looked inedible. It made you ponder what she was crying over, what was going through their young minds, and what it would be like to be so hungry that you would eat anything including the rat that the boy finds and holds up happily. This is what an apocalypse would look and feel like. You don't get films like this anymore, and there's a reason for it. The people who run this world don't want you to think and feel because good art does that, and it can stir people to action.

This is all the info I found so far for resistance Its story is set in post-apocalyptic 2028 Los Angeles and serves as a prequel to James Cameron's Terminator franchise films The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). Players will take on the role of a new character, Jacob Rivers, a soldier in the John Connor-led human resistance against Skynet's robotic killing machines. The game will have multiple possible endings.[1] A sixth film in the Terminator franchise, Terminator: Dark Fate, is being released shortly prior to the game's release, and the game does not appear to have any relation or connection to the sixth film's timeline or characters.[2] Like Dark Fate, however, the game appears to be ignoring all Terminatorfranchise films after Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

I don't see this guy giving many uplifting and inspirational speeches...it would have been cool to see an adult version of the character struggling to retain his humanity, after years of having to sacrifice his troops and make difficult almost impossible decisions to ensure the survival of the species...shit like drafts and conscriptions, suicide squads who gets fed and equipped with their limited supplies etc... I imagine a character who displays zero fear or hesitation with relentless conviction and determination...bolstered by the knowledge that they can and eventually do win the war against the machines...whereas to everyone else it seems hopeless and impossible...so early on when he first appears as a leader his personal actions would appear reckless and damn near suicidal to others...but gradually over time as he defeats the terminators, not only surviving but actually winning the battles time and again the survivors eventually rally behind him...as if it was fate or destiny.

It would take a few more years until all traces of Skynet were wiped from existence. And even so Humanity would fight among themselves after the wars end over what little resources were left. Or John Connor would lead Humanity through a long brutal recovery using what tech Skynet left behind to rebuild the broken world.

Or play as a Sapper Gurrilla Team armed with those Large Bombs and Throw them under HK Tanks. So many Possibilities. And we could have more than we ever could with a 2 hour Movie. I say the way to Fix the terminator Franchise is with a Mind Blowing Video game that would appeal to fans.

There is actually a fps based on future war which was kinda fun back in time

[@WestbustahSaucedo]

Kevin, that's what I've been saying for years lol

[@richardched6085]

Supreme Spiritualist Good news for both of us. They are making that game that all Terminator Fans Desire. idk the specifics but it is currently in development :)

[@WestbustahSaucedo]

Kevin Horstmann Great news, can you give me the source, also hope the game takes place in the future with plasma guns and killer hunters

[@richardched6085]

Supreme Spiritualist Unfortunately I don't have any specifics. Its more than a rumor but less than an official announcement Its simply Called Terminators: The Video Game, And its description is that it follows the history of the first 2 Films. Which can mean either FUTURE WAR or some adaptation of the Terminator and Judgement Day. I am like 70% sure its Future War. There is no footage of it. No real confirmation that it hasn't been cancelled. But I have hope!

The infiltrated terminator of this sequence: Franco Columbu. R.I.P.

[@KurtFuller]

T1 and T2, the best two sci-fi movies ever made (past, present and, I would say, future)

[@IdealUser]

Predator? Aliens/Aliens? Jurassic Park? Blade Runner? Star Wars IV, V, VI??? Lot of great sci fi movies. Each fits a certain mold, yet all are amazing.

[@lonw.7016]

Future? Don't know, yet.

[@DMalltheway]

2001 A Space Odyssey

[@eliaspeter7689]

Add Aliens to the list. Also James Cameron! And also one of the best!

[@skipper124]

They should make a Battlefield type of game out of this classic movie frames

[@thierrykurt3867]

My friend , play Terminator Resistance , feel like this short clip , best game ever and exelent history

[@worldofretrogameplay6963]

The future war scenes from T1 and T2 always scared me as a kid growing up. It’s the idea of highly superior machines with no feelings (and efficient at killing) that make these scenarios so frightening. It also shows how fragile humans are compared to a fully cybernetic adversary. James Cameron nailed it right on the head with both movies.

[@FerrerBarr]

Came back here after the Terminator Dark Fate trailer the trailer was so meh I needed the nostalgia of this masterpiece

[@fluvirus]

Vik Ferreira Barrios Yeah and I hear they are killing john c off in the first 5 mins of film, carn’t belive it, it makes t1/2 pointless

[@barney10240]

Yeah, the movie suck

[@kejiri3593]

It looks at best like a mediocre movie on same level of terminator salvation. Terminator 3 wasnt that great either but it would be more a guilty pleasure movie if they just made the terminator more like this. Like they literally live more in a hell world in the depiction here. But in the new movies it looks just like an average wasteland. It just is not that believable more or less.

[@nuke97]

I will always love my father for taking me to see T2 in theater when it came out. I was in 1st grade. You can only imagine how blown away I was by the opening scene.

[@ssonicdeafmonkey]

Hell yeah!

[@centerrightpunk]

I'm the same age, but I don't think I got to see it until my family rented it at blockbuster after its theater run

[@gsxerwhite]

Ha ha nice

[@bryanbarnes388]

Salvation should've been this dystopian future where you can clearly see humanity is not just on the brink, but almost completely outgunned as an underground resistance. It really should've given this David vs. Goliath feel to it. Maybe if they did a sequel to Salvation they could've explored the really dark days of the Resistance.

[@luisparga5707]

Bryan Barnes

[@ianlong1437]

Except humanity wasn't outgunned they still had 4 billion people left and pushed skynet back albeit it took a long time they were winning, which is why skynet sent back the t 800 in the first place

[@freeblade3110]

Humanity had billions of people and advanced military equipment such as vehicles by the time Salvation took place. This here is the late stage of the war where humanity’s military forces had been reduced to a shell of their former selves.
