I have a script im working on. Its about twin brothers at the start of Americas involvement in WW2. They both go to join the Army but one has epilepsy and gets left behind. After all the brave men have left for war, he is left behind with mostly women, children, the elderly. At this point when most the capable men are gone....women, including his brothers Wife, begin to dissapear.... Id love to send you the rough draft/ outline!

[@timothybayliss6680]

@Crows Wit Gaming that is a comically Terrible movie that looks awful, has hard cuts and a narrative that is nearly impossible to follow. You don't get enough backstory to understand or to bother caring what the character motivations are. The acting is hollow, like the people on screen couldn't tell.if their checks were still good, the cinematography is horrid and there is hardly ever two different people talking in one shot, it cuts every couple seconds and the laser shooty fights are almost funny if they weren't supposed to be serious. I saw the trailers and thought it looked like it had potential. I wanted, badly, to like it, but I can't. It so boring, has such abrupt transitions, is so hard to enjoy it took me three times to get through it and I have only vague memories of it. Please tell me this was an ironic endorsement and that you only wanted it shredded to tatters even worse than the staff responsible for the blight that is Jupitor Ascending left on our doorstep like a flaming bag.

The worst part was when Sarah downplayed her own role to referring to herself as just a womb to some man who saves humanity. They seem to forget what Kyle said in terminator: it was a chance to meet the legend, Sarah Connor. Taught her son to fight, organize. To prepare him when he was just a kid. When you went in hiding before the war. James Cameron must be suffering from alzeimers since he allowed this continuity error on screen. Sarah wasn't just some incubator of a messiah. She was the one that made John into a warrior with her guidance.

[@therebel4332]

Well they could care less about continuity at this point,, I don't think the elites write for this movie game anymore,, what you've got is braindead uni drama grads writing it.

[@JackyTheNerd]

After reading the plot synopsis and hearing they killed John Connor [who was an interesting character in T2 and T3 as a kid and adult carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders], they could have used John as a mentor to the younger, genderbent John Conner because he would be able to help her process the emotions and mental stuff of being a savior for humanity while he, Sarah, and an Arnie Terminator protected from alternate timeline Skynet in one last hurrah before letting the franchise go to rest. That would have made for a pretty compelling story and character interaction if it had been done right. But no, we can't have anything nuanced and interesting in "current year." Oh well. Least we got T1 and T2 to enjoy with Sarah and John Connor dealing with killer robots from the future and grappling with fate itself to save humanity without anyone ever knowing it.

[@Zeriel00]

The truth doesn't fit their feminist agenda. Where a mother is shunned and frowned upon but an androgynous tough woman that acts like a man and a victim are idolized. It's all part of the narrative to undermine the family unit and push this androgyny/feminist agenda. Because people who have no family and see themselves as victims of toxic men are easier to control and brain wash. Divide and conquer.

[@Gandoan]

The funny part is that Grace, the hybrid protector from the future pulled her power source out which ironically is still the location of the womb. So in the end, the womb still saves the day?

[@rodricjohnson5950]

Well since John died young and that time line was wiped there was no her becoming a legend in anyone's mind in the future

[@JesseCuster]

Sarah Connor never said, "I'm gonna stand and fight!" as an indicator of her character arc. Didn't have to.

[@GuiltyGaming]

Edit: Just met Robert Patrick at Indiana Comic Con, showed him this comment, and he confirmed everything, adding he caught up to the dirt bike on the first take and they subsequently had to increase its speed from 13 to 15 mph. He appreciated the comments and replies and autographed my T-1000 photo with “Call to John.” I am giddy. Apparently, Robert Patrick independently trained for his role as the T-1000 to not show fatigue while running. I read somewhere he did extensive cardio on his own to build up his stamina so his character's chase scenes would look as effortless as possible. I often fall victim to looking upon the past with rose-tinted glasses, but goddammit, who does that for a role anymore?

Not as hardcore as what bodybuilders do, but more involved than what normal guys hitting the gym are doing.

Kinda like when movies boil female characters down to hot female lead or love interest, alienating half of the audience.

[@NINacide]

@@uhhuh-pq3vz a good character succeeds on their own merits, not by knee capping their opposition. You don't need to emasculate Arnold to empower Linda. Linda can be powerful without Arnold becoming a fairy princess. Now I'm reminded of something women love, a Lose-Lose situation. Take Tanya Harding having her competition, Nancy Kerrigan, attacked and crippled. Tanya goes to jail, Nancy goes to the hospital, neither compete the next day, neither win anything at all, and both of their careers are over. If that's an exclusively female trait, then keep it between the women, men don't want anything to do with that. We like Win-Win, and the con-artists and sociopaths like Win-Lose, but Lose-Lose is too irrational for men to tolerate. That's when we get alienated and walk away and let you do you. So that's what we're seeing in these movies, "hey boys, I have an idea, lets do a Lose-Lose" "No" "too late" "Damn"

Only to have the face of her nightmares come around a corner and look into her eyes, right in the middle of stressful situation. She is falling into her nightmares and her mind is on the verge of utterly breaking in terror and shock, and helplessness, not sure if it's real, but totally aware that if it is there is absolutely no way for her to save herself and no one can help her, she is trapped and can only recoil in horror.

[@merciless41582]

The main issue I have with this film is the termination of John Connor. John Connor is one of the most important characters in the history of film and it was a really bad idea just to kill him off. Imagine if George Lucas killed off Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back. The Return of the Jedi would be a useless film. You can't kill off important characters in a film if you want to keep the franchise going. When I saw that opening scene where John gets killed I thought to myself: They just killed the legendary character John Connor and ousted him from the franchise like he didn't exist. However, I did love the action scenes, the character Grace, Mackenzie did a great job, and that's about it. One character and actions scenes doesn't make a movie great. It seems like they tried to make this film be on the level of Terminator 2 Judgement Day. and failed drastically. As you saw in the film they had references to T2. The playground scene at the end, the T-800 sacrificing himself at the end while Dani and Sarah stand above, and several other scenes.

[@brunsomarrr]

Yes, handling John Connor that way - especially using young Edward Furlong, the way we remember him through all the thrills and suspense of T2! - was majorly stupid, and disrespectful I'll add. What's more, the killing wasn't nearly earned: There was no chase, no set up... just *BLAM* take that, audience! Like a giant middle finger.

[@r0ckworthy]

For all intents and purposes they DID kill off Luke Skywalker (by making him a quitter and a loser) in the name of Wokeness (since you aren't allowed to have a cisgender white male protagonist anymore), along with the ancient Jedi temple/library, and then Luke used the Force to commit suicide and just evaporate at the end. Like Kylo Ren tells Rey to do, "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to." Disgusting.

Aliens is a ripoff of several war movies mixed with cheap horror moves that completely removes all that was actually good, scary and suspenseful about the original movie.

Terminator 3 was always underrated. It was always going to look bad because it directly followed T2, but unlike literally every other Terminator that came after it, it actually accomplished what it tried to do, and was a sequel that made sense continuing the timeline of the Terminator, without insulting the older movies. Sarah Connor lived a full life and died peacefully, John tried to move on and believe that Judgment Day had been averted, but in the end was plagued with that same paranoia his mother had, and the set up for the plot made a bit more sense to explain how a third Terminator could go back. Best of all, it set things up so that they could go into the war with Skynet without needing to come up with more excuses for time travel, as the war with the machines would be interesting on its own. T4 *tried* to be a sequel that built off of that foundation...but utterly failed in doing what it set out to do, dooming the franchise to hackneyed reboot attempts.

[@lonewolf9578]

@@Thedarkbunnyrabbit I agree - Terminator 3 had it flaws and issues, but it was a solidly average movie. It wasn't the A+ rollercoaster of it's progenitors, so it compared badly and got a lot of stick it only kind of deserved. It takes a long time to get going, some of the action sequences are much longer than they needed to be, the T-X terminator could never have lived up to the terrifying T-1000 in either concept or Patrick's stunningly understated execution. The first half of the movie is formulaic and predictable, but then half way through the script starts to play with your assumptions and expectations, subtle hints lead to not-so-subtle hints about how this is all going to go down, and then the movie pulls another switcheroo on you right at the end - an ending that pulls the movie up from an uneven mess to a clumsily-executed but eventually intelligent story. No, it's not a masterpiece, not by a long shot. Compared to the rest of Terminator franchise, it's firmly on the right side of good-enough.

@@stoneymahoney9106 Honestly, I think that's a pretty accurate assessment. T3 wasn't a blockbuster masterpiece like T1 and T2 are considered, so it was always not going to hold up by comparison, but it was very solid and an important transition movie to move into a different style that would no longer require rehashing 'and then another terminator was sent back somehow'. T4 didn't know WHAT it wanted to do - since they swapped out the ending at the last minute - and every other one since then has tried to be a reboot and failed horribly.

I've seen the original Terminator movie so many times that I could tell just by the electricity surge noise of the T-800 being crushed by Sarah Conner in the clip at the end of the video, that it was the remastered movie clip as opposed to the original. I loved Terminator 1, 2, and found the third installment tolerable because I liked the end. Judgment Day being inevitable and Arnold leading John Conner to a safe bunker to ride out the nuclear war without him knowing was a great twist in my opinion. Everything since has been trash. I had high hopes for Salvation as it took place during the war and Christian Bale playing John Conner seemed like a plus. That plot set up was the movie I wanted to see made since I was a kid who saw Terminator 2 in the theater. I was legitimately pissed off leaving the theater after Salvation, what a fucking dud. Now we get gender fluid terminators and southern border allegory. What a nonsensical cash grab this franchise has become.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

T1 is a perfect story and can only be hurt by more exposition. T2 is only good because Cameron had total control of the project. The rest are crap because of Rule #1.

[@anonygent]

I didn't get to see how it played out, but I was pretty happy with the first part of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. There was just one continuity error that bugged me, the head of the Terminator going forward in time with them. It's well established from the first movie that only living things can go through the portal.

Feminists don't want to be treated like men, they want special privileges, and to be held in higher regard than men. In other words, it's not equality at all. It's toxic and immoral elitism.

[@roddypiper5146]

​@@lordkrythic6246 Yes, but he mean it as excuse of their actions (I guess). Also: feminist are not thought-independent at all (they more like bunch angry little brats who hates their daddy/boyfriend/husband). They are a wing of destructive marksizm. You unleash them with socialists and gender minorities, and they wrec havoc, till normality is broken... then you take over and nobody complains (they just want you to fix this: and leave your children). History repeats itself: checkout how Stalin broke Russians + other nations around it, and created USSR - workers paradise. Movies and Hollywood is just a way of spirit breaking propaganda, you see same patter over and over again, and you thin its normal.... try to explain that to people watching these movies without questioning. I think I will copy that as independent comment.

[@kashattack]

The feminist agenda in this movie disgusts me. There's a line by Grace when she's telling Dani "you're not the mother of some man who saves us" - yeah because that was such a terrible thing in the original Terminator movie wasn't it!

[@user-gm4kv2my4u]

Agreed. The worst part about it is that Sara Conner WASN'T just the mother of the man that led the resistance. She wasn't the leader of the resistance. For years she WAS the fucking resistance. She was fighting the war solo. And at the end of Terminator 2 it became clear that she didn't give birth to the leader of a resistance. She saved her son from ever having to take that burden to begin with. To give away your life, your happiness, your very sanity, to save a world that has condemned you because it was the right thing to do? To spare your child a terrible burden and give him a chance to live a normal life? That is a powerful female character that's not easily matched. But Hollywood had to fucking Hollywood and ruin it all. There never should of been a sequel to T2. Ever.

[@geminiwriter8875]

If anything that ought to empower women, knowing without them, a generation of competent men and soldiers cant be brought forward. Yes it’s a risk because of all the pain and death of war, but any woman who is told their son is the non-biblical saviour of humanity itself, will have understandable and believable cause to become a soldier and a fighter. Feminists these days believe that simply being a woman is enough to empower, but you’ve got no philosophical or physical basis to build yourself on other than chromosomes and sex organs - of which femininity tried to depose before being hijacked. It’s about purpose and carrying on in a state where humanity is literally at the receiving end of domination and annihilation. Regardless of gender, whoever rises to that fight, no matter the consequence, is someone to look to.

[@leonrobinson8180]

@Patrick Sylvia It's not "just a movie" ya bloody normie! Ever hear of propaganda?

Cameron has very good instincts but he's a gambler (meaning his style is that he doesn't know how to not take huge risks) and he paints with bold colors. When he does that and it works, it works extremely well and he comes off as a genius. But sooner or later, risk taking comes back to bite you.

It's worse that you think. Non other than James Cameron has said in interviews that he HATES when sequels kill off main characters people like from previous movies for no reason. This was his response on Alien 3 when they killed off of his characters from Aliens. So, for him to approve the killing of John Conner right at the start, means he's just pissing on the fans at this point and does not give a shit as long as he gets a political correct new movie.

[@jdudleyh]

My favorite part of the movie is how the transport plane is broken into two pieces (with very different trajectories), a vehicle falls out (with a parachute), and a couple of terminators. Despite traveling across a vast area at great speed, not only do all of the parts/contents of the plane happen to land within 100 yards of each other, but they happen to land on the Hoover Dam.... Not just near the Hoover Dam, but actually the parachuted Humvee lands directly on the Hoover Dam (pretty much dead center on the span as well). I'm willing to give some leeway and suspend my disbelief to some degree, but this is about the most distracting sequence since the Fast and the Furious 6's endless runway fight where the sequence rolled out at very high speeds for 13+ minutes. That's one, very long, straight runway. Over 5 times the longest runway in the world. It's amazing how really bad this movie is, even from a mindless action movie aspect.

That's because people loved them for all the wrong reasons. So it's not enough to simply ignore the reasons people loved the classics, then go on to do your own "new, improved" thing.

Because only then will people realize that their love for those classics was misplaced and hail your genius pointing out to them what they should have known all along.

[@brosephh7130]

It’s beyond cringe, I can’t take it. So glad i watched spoilers before wasting my time. Injecting Arnold this way, just for cheap nostalgia and nothing else is laughable. He’s too old and out of shape to portray the character in any meaningful way. I think 1984 Terminator was the best. The combination of sci fi, noir and even horror. It was dark, gritty and intense. I’ll never forget the scene in the 1984 Terminator when the Terminator first appeared. It was dark, magical and foreboding .Compare that to the current Arnold in this film. 😖 The idea of a Terminator taking on civilian family life destroys what we’ve learned about them. “He can’t be bargained with, he can’t be reasoned with. He doesn’t feel remorse, or pity or fear, and he absolutely will not stop, until you are dead.”
