The future of making films is on the cinema students. They giving a lessons how to make films against the great cinema studios.

[@joshwizinsky1979]

Dude!...You made a life sized movable prop terminator....HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

[@f47254]

It was a fun project to work on!

[@michael77448]

It looks more promising than Terminator Genisys. Now go make the full length movie !!

[@JRlZZLE]

Thanks everyone for the likes, shares and comments! We made this on a shoe string budget and used our heads and the generosity of others to make this happen. The goal was not to make a fan film, but something a little more grounded in the timeline of the franchise. Thanks again for all your support and criticism!!!!!!!!! - John Riddle - ps Web Series??? just a thought ;)

[@thecriticaster9682]

This is by far the best Terminator fan film ever!!!

[@sjacrane]

Lmao ok!

[@Absolutelywhack]

PHENOMENAL use of shaky cam! I love it!

[@cults9237]

If you ask me, this is going back to basics, thats what made the first two so good, This is truly a master piece that will live in our hearts as a fantastic film.

[@SkylerHerren]

Fantastic!

[@jor-elofkrypton7599]

Great job! You should have been the director of Terminator Salvation!

[@hiphopaddict007]

I am a true fan of the original 2 movies. I can stomach parts 3 & 4 as well. Part 5 was just horrible! (I am a HUGE Emilia Clarke fan too, so this hurts to admit)... I must say though, this fan film is what The Termintor is all about. It's nothing fancy. It's man vs machine. Well done guys!

[@Avengers24-sw7cv]

There is nothing wrong with The Rise of the Machines. I thought the idea of the terminatrix killing the future lieutenants was a good idea, along with her controlling the vehicles using nanobots.

[@JeanLucCaptain]

absolutely epic use of real animatronic effects and models.

[@Vintage9x]

I have been a long time Terminator fan and I enjoyed this. I think you seem to get the idea of what makes the series (mainly the first two) great.

[@joshspeed6301]

Us fans want to see the future war.

[@thelucasveloso]

I really liked this! It goes back to the suspense and low-budget inventiveness of the first one! And I loved the robovision. Awesome!

[@Jetsudo]

I enjoyed it as a no budget short film! The issue I did have was the woman twisting her ankle on flat ground, just to create the opportunity the Terminator to catch up. If she had stumbled on some loose rocks etc, the motivation for the fall would have been that much better. Overall though, the vibe and style was well embraced. Good job to you all!

[@Rauly84]

20,010 views only !!???? dude you deserve MILLIONS !! Great JOB !

[@CloudFreedomFighters]

That was awesome! I love that you used an actual model. The problem with some fan films is that their 3D models don't look convincing and look really out of place! Kudos!

[@willthetrill4849]

I really enjoyed this short film. What would've made the T800 more creepy is have the endoskeleton partially covered in residue of what was once human flesh that was previously blown off by a blast

[@rebel_drop_troop7715]

I like this practical effects make more sense it looks like a robot is actually there instead of crappy CGI and it pays homage to the original movies

[@robstoppablecosplay]

Thumbs up all-round!! That was tense and cool!

[@moonsorrow77]

Better then the last Hollywood made..

[@vuxnut]

That was pretty sweet, nice work.

[@Cybolic]

Better than T3 and 4.

[@Avengers24-sw7cv]

Nah.

[@Sharpish79]

Probably still the best fan made Terminator film I have seen. The T-800 model looks a little cheap around the skull (especially the eyes). In some scenes, it kinda looks cross-eyed. Still, the actual movement animations are fluid and very believable! Special effects aside, I would only critique the method with which the terminator was taken down. Near the end of The Terminator (1984), the T-800 took a direct hit to the head from an 18-wheeler, got up, killed the driver, stole the rig & used it to try and run his targets down.

[@Wizkid490]

Awesome work, as always. Incredible visuals, especially in the opening. Music is epic, great camerawork, and I was impressed with the terminator model. Pretty well acted and well paced, this is an excellent piece. I can only imagine what you guys could do with a budget!

[@JesseScimecaFilm]

Thank-you!! One day we will hopefully have ze monies!!! Haha :) Wizkid490

[@Rubenthebudderderp]

madeLEGITmedia you made it yeah can't wait for the spiderman 6 parter series bye

[@TvM.TheTechnomage]

This was amazing. I've always wanted a terminator movie set in the future, with settings like Reese's dreams from the original film and the opening sequence of T2.

[@livinghistory9701]

Creepy in the beginning

[@ZariusPlays]

I WANNA SEE MORE

[@MrBnetV]

One of the best Terminator fan films out there. The narrator sounds a bit like Laurence Fishburne! Very well told story, suspenseful, and filled with slick CGI that I have no idea how to do. Favorite shot was the Terminator's feet as it approached the shack, and the light streaming through the bullet holes. Really excellent stuff, and proof that one does not need a huge budget to do these kinds of movies.

[@jazzyj4126]

Very well done

[@nastynate4916]

Very menacing looking t800!!

[@dede9806]

Now THAT'S Terminator !My friend, u did an excellent work I didn't like the eyes at the begin but it's such a small flaw.....make more please and stay in the future.... Believe me ! That's what people want to see ! No stupid liquid robot !...

[@RoxRevanharte]

This is amazing. Love fan films especially my favorite story The Terminator.

[@einsnewtrigger8530]

GOD!!!! this is a cool film doing with much love!! thanks for bring us!!

[@strpe9701]

"Hey you wanna do CGI, it would be much easier"...."nah, let's just make a full terminator that can move its head and arms and stuff"

[@Rhythmicons]

I'd love to help with sound design for a future project. I have a lot of analog synthesizer equipment and have been tremendously influenced by Brad Fiedel's score for the first film.

[@raydoherty7154]

Nice Job..........you guys clearly worked hard on it...thank you

[@binarioochentaycinco4791]

fantastic! its a pitty it was to short but i understand that because i know how hard and expensive is to make a very good short scene.

[@ct92404]

Wow! Amazing work! It's hard to believe this was done by fans! I am genuinely very impressed. I love the Terminator story, especially the original movie of course. And you can tell that the people who made this video are true fans and put a tremendous amount of work into it.

[@davidedens6968]

This was very well done. Keep going and make more of these. Very entertaining. :)

[@AmericanBacon.]

This is it!?!? I WANT MORE!!!

[@TH3WastedPenguin]

Litterally just saw this after watching the new Terminator. Awesome job. The VFX great, The model of the terminator wasn't perfect but still preferable to a 3D model, which would have been a pain to light xD Anyway, most importantly - you guys nailed the tone of the Terminator films: dark, distopic and epic :)

[@dede9806]

Sooooo.....what did u think of that last movie ? Did u like what happens to John Connor ?....

[@christopherbrand1281]

Pretty stellar effects

[@stroggwars]

this was perfect job, so so pefect short movie i felt intense, OMG i cant resist it i saw it again and again and again this is how terminator should be, what a production !!!ok downloading it from youtube, the terminator joint sounds are fantastic this is how a terminator sound should be

[@leomarlucero4251]

siiii estubo bien pero medio que le faltaba algo de mas suspenso realista y el exterminador estaba raro XD pero igual esta super exelente trabajo (Y)

[@angusng816]

This is so much better than Terminator: Genisys. So this movie gets the Terminator feel so Terminator 6 I hope you do the same thing.

[@BrandonBaldwin]

Great work with this film it was really good

[@CodyRayy119]

very enjoyable fan film. a recommended fan film to see!

[@AustinThomasFilms]

Wow. This is absolutely spectacular. I am at a loss for words right now...

[@INNERFREQUENCY]

Love seeing your work as always. I really liked your camera work and your vfx. I didn't really like the acting at the beginning of this film but the rest was great. Great job, keep up the good work!

[@JesseScimecaFilm]

Thank-you for the honest and constructive criticism! We will do our best to improve. *****

[@EnengNurjanah-pl1mq]

Ini teh maksudnya apa si saya ngga ngerti balas komen unduh itu maksudnya apa sih saya tidak ngerti tahu apa lagi pake bahasa inggris saya jadi bingung di suruh nulis balas maksudnya apa sih

[@JohnSmith-zw6tr]

Could have easily been another 10 mins in character development after the final meetup of the resistance team

[@johnstone313]

Bravo! Great work!!

[@joshtaylor4153]

Awesome

[@JunkyardAwesomeness]

This is Great and better than the last 3 HORRIBLE sequels of Terminator Franchise

[@idealistman7091]

Don't exaggerate. For a fan film it is brilliant but you cannot possibly justify it being better than a full feature length film.

[@SKMP]

+Idealist man yes you can when it has better well....everything

[@JonGodfrey]

+Idealist man Yes you can, just because it is fan made doesn't mean that it can't be better than a feature film. It can be, and I personally think it is.

[@newyorknative88]

Where was Arnold??? Two thumbs down. Jk Lol you guys did great job, can't wait for more projects in the future.

[@SKMP]

+Mo if only arnold could be in these, terminator could be good again

[@JesseScimecaFilm]

[@JRlZZLE]

Yessss thanks!!!

[@unitedyoutuber1497]

I guess you could say that this takes place either at or very near the beginning of the Future War.

[@justinsuttles1048]

This is tense!

[@happyandblessed5640]

[@jackturner3803]

how did you build the Endoskeleton? im trying to make my own terminator fan film, but I need an endo

[@snackzyder7138]

it was made from carfboard and foam, the head was from 1:1 kit found on ebay, led eyes from radio shack... making of vid on my old channel "jrlzzle"

[@jackturner3803]

+John Riddle how did you frame it so it was sturdy? Mine is made of metal, wood and plastic. I might remove the head, and replace it with the cardboard.

[@snackzyder7138]

+Jack Turner pvc pipe framing..then i built everything around it. think simple puppet techniques. the arms had rods comin out of the elbows...thats how i was able to move the so freely
