On the bright side, there will be giant robots.

Dark Hunter · **Reply #21 on:** May 14, 2009, 02:06:20 pm

Yes. Giant robots are always good.

As with others, the fact that T3 has been dropped from the continuity is major points in my eyes. This movie just might be good after all.

The whole 'no T3' thing is bull****.

It doesn't carry directly on from T3, but his wife's still Kate (she's a doctor now instead of a vet), Judgment Day still happened "14 years ago" as of 2018 - which about ties in with T3...

And I'm betting there's plenty of other bull****, because - guess what - the studio doesn't give a ****!

All they care about is marketability. So if they can back-reference T3 to keep the people who liked that piece of **** happy and increase the grosses, reviews and overall word-of-mouth then they'll do it.

About the only redeeming thing I can currently find with this movie is that Christian Bale has read the script and signed on to star. And he's generally pretty good at picking movies that actually have some artistic merit. Of course, McG could pretty easily rape that in the face with his 'vision'.

BlackDove · **Reply #23 on:** May 14, 2009, 03:55:59 pm

They can't approach T3 really, because they got sued and lost like 60 million dollars or something from the woman that actually wrote the basis of the thing.

Btw, did you notice how the Matrix pretty much perfectly overlaps with Terminator? Terminator is more like Matrix: The Lost Years.

Part of her $60 million settlement was the Matrix as well, the first one being ripped off, then the other two were "original" and it showed.

I prefer to view the Terminator franchise with a view to the alternate ending of Alien: Resurrection - where they return to Earth and it's a nuclear wasteland.

This would also play into the androids lacking a proper robotic form, the generally rugged-by-low-tech nature of technology in the Aliens universe, and would allow ties to Predator too.

Tada.

Alien: Resurrection, now there's a movie that should have known to declare the 3rd one of the series non-canon and just continue on from the 2nd one.

an0n · **Reply #26 on:** May 14, 2009, 07:25:48 pm

I actually like Alien: Resurrection, I just think it suffered from: A) The whole "human birth" thing near the ending, and B) Amateurish directing.

If they'd left out the hybrid and just had the Queen going bat**** crazy thanks to Ripley's memories, and turning on it's young (destroying the ship in the process) - and had a better director, I think it'd've been pretty damn awesome. Certainly better than Alien 3.

Mr. Vega · **Reply #27 on:** May 15, 2009, 01:42:11 am

The director's cut of Alien 3 is actually pretty good. They keep the doctor around for much longer and everything isn't as jumbled together.

Nuke · **Reply #28 on:** May 15, 2009, 04:42:55 am

my experience is that directors cuts tend to be a lot better than the theatrical release. untill they come out with an aliens vs predator vs terminator movie comes out il be a little more open to t4. its gonna suck, i mean its not the 70s anymore, but will it suck in a way thats at least half ass entertaining.

Erm, Terminator predates the **** out of the Matrix. Along with R.U.R., Colossus: The Forbin Project and I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream Terminator is one of the building blocks of the AI revolt genre. Its like saying Night of the Living Dead is the country town version of Dawn of the Dead

Bobboau · **Reply #31 on:** May 16, 2009, 12:11:43 am

so you haven't noticed how terminator is about a race or red eyed stainless steal robots revolting against there masters and enslaving the human race, and how the matrix is about a future hundreds of years after is a race of red eyed stainless steal robots revolt against there masters and enslaved the human race, you don't see how they could be compatible in a retcon sort of way.

well than again if the new terminator is any good than that means that it can't be related to the matrix. all of the matrix was pretty good in it's own way except for the last 5 minutes of the 3rd movie. Peace with robots? really?

General Battuta · **Reply #34 on:** May 20, 2009, 10:33:26 pm

Wait, what do you mean, third movie?

There was only one Matrix film.

And only two Terminators.

Well the Matrix might be only 200 years later. After Neo awoke, he talked to Morpheus and said something about 1999 (in the Matrix virtual reality, it is 1999), then Morpheus says it is more like 2199, or was it 2099? But he estimated.

If memory serves it was 2199 I believe. I'm pretty sure I'm right but I would have to re-watch the movie to be sure. AND yes this movie looks awesome

I watched all three long ago.

I'm both proud and ashamed that I was able to comprehend what the **** you meant by that, BlackDove.

OT: On further reflection, this movie will be ****e. Nothing more to be said, really.

You're obviously delusional. The relevant mental health professionals have been informed.
