Terminator 4 - First teaser

[Dowly]

Another movie I'm waiting for! I think Christian Bale should fit the role of John Connor perfectly, he was great in 'The Machinist'. :hmm:

You know there has been a lot of talk that it will not be the same without Arny as the Terminator but looking at that trailer, this just might be a very good movie. We have to wait until next summer to find out:down:

[danlisa]

Have to wait and see.:hmm:

I rate Bale as an actor, first saw him in Equilibrium (gotta learn that fighting technique) and while Batman:Begins sucked, he was good in that too.

[Konovalov]

That really was a teaser in every sense of the word. I have high hopes for this film. Fingers crossed. :up:

What's going for this film? For a start it has Christian Bale in it. Great actor even back as a child in Empire of the Sun and he really came into prominence after playing the character of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.

This film surely could not be as bad as Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines. It was a real struggle to watch that one from beginning to end. Arnie was great in the first two (both gems in their own dfferent ways) but he should not have come back for number 3. Rise of thr Machines was a bit of a stinker in my view.

It's gonna be a long wait to see how this one turns out. :damn:

[STEED]

I hold no hopes for the 4th installment, and please no more of this trash I mean it. Terminator was good but T2 storyline was so bloody drull. Bloody heck the writers should have been shot for producing a storyline that anyone could had done. I would go far as to say, a chimpanzee could had done a better job writing the T2 story. As for T3 please burn every film wheel, tape, DVD of this dreadful piece of crap ever made.

That's about the WORST trailer I've ever looked at. It started to give me a headache. :dead:

I tend to agree with you. Adult movies bring in adults who spend time talking on the cell phone or person they came with. You can not enjoy the movie. However, I take my kids to the movies and all the kids with there parents do not use cell phones or jibber jabber. They all might laugh out loud(expected) or one might get scared(expected). But, for the most part I can enjoy the kids movies more then the adult movies. Perhaps the adults could learn a thing or two about movie ediquette from the kids. :hmm:

So true. :up: And mothers leave your babys at home with a babysitter. Also people with a bad cold. :yep:

[STEED]

I would go as far to say, you need a license to see a movie to keep the riff raff out. :rotfl:

I am fed up to the bloody backteeth spending a good £10 to see a movie only to have a dickhead or bunch of prats farting around. I had a bunch of kids throwing there food in my direction once and by the end of the movie I got up and threw what was left of my cold drink over them which took them by surprise.

[Skybird]

that "teaser" was so ridiculously cut and the scenes so minimal that the sum of all them as well as the single snippets taken for themselves really say nothing. As a teaser: bad. Does it serve it's purpose and raise my interest in the completed movie: no.

Maybe they should alternatively consider to shoot an exciting thriller about how it is to be the governor of California. ;)

[Sockeye]

Some good points here whether or not the movie'll be any good, but we'll just have to see. I'm on the fence, really; on one hand, I WANT to like it, and on the other, when was the last time I liked a new movie? Actually, the last new movie I liked was "The Prestige", starring Bale, so who knows. But then again, the last movie I saw in the movie theatre was "Saving Private Ryan".

There were two things major things that I didn't care for in T3, and I can basically forgive all other shortcomings. The first, I didn't care for the guy playing John Connor; he seemed too whiny, too short; in T2, we see a glimpse of Connor in the future in all his badassness, massive scar on his face as he surveys the scene of Hades below through optics; the guy in T3 looked nothing like either the kid in T2 or the future Connor. The second point, I didn't like how T3 changed the "vision" of the future that "The Terminator" offered; I personally liked that particular vision, and loved that T2 stuck to this same future. In T3, the future evolved so that it was no longer the best that the 1980s could offer, but was what a modern audience could expect, and it sucked the style out of it for me, taking me out of the mood I wanted to be in for a Terminator movie.

T3 to me seemed to be a discontinuation of the franchise. I do feel that the story needed to be told so that we could see how Connor became the resistance leader, but I didn't care for the movie.

"The Terminator" had a great atmosphere to it. That final scene where the machine has had its skin burned off, been blown up, and is crawling through the cruncher with only one arm and half a leg remaining, that scared the **** outta me. "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." I loved Michael Biehn in this one.

T2, of course is an action movie for mass consumption. I love it, but it's not the same type of movie that "The Terminator" was. And that's all right with me; I can watch either depending on my mood. The Director's Cut is (as usual) a better picture than the theatrical release, and the SFX guys really went the extra mile with T-1000 in the final scene.

But T4...

"The future is not set. There's no fate but what we make for ourselves."

"If you vant to leev, vote for me" :p

I think this teaser is cut and minimal because the assumption is that most who would look at this clip know the story before hand(Terminator 1,2,3). The teaser says a lot to me. This film will really take place in the future were the machine have taken over. The last three left us off when the machines were just starting to take over the world. So yes, from what I know about the series, this snippet was definitely enough to spark my interest.

I thought it was a good teaser. I agree with Steed :damn: that Terminator was one of those great movies that needed no sequels, and the sequels proved it. Like The Empire Strikes Back or Last Crusade, or especially Godfather Part II, a good sequel should stand on its own as a good movie.

Will this one? Well, it looks like it might be different, and that may be enough. We'll see.

I wish I could share your optimism. Based on T3 and recent trends in the filmmaking industry I am bracing for excessive and poorly-done CG that makes it seem like a cartoon and some stupid moral, like "Don't mess with genetics" "machines are evil" (well I guess I expect to see that one) or "You drove an SUV and look what happened!"

I pray they get it right this time.

Yes, they should have stopped after the first. It is the same with the Rocky films. Number one was great. After that, it was popcorn fodder. Same with Jaws. The list goes on. But that is Hollywood;)

[stabiz]

and while Batman:Begins sucked, he was good in that too.

:huh: What the ...? How can you say that about the best superhero-movie ever?

[stabiz]

Btw, I think I just had an epilepsy attack from that trailer. Lookin` forward to it though.

[danurve]

... As for T3 please burn every film wheel, tape, DVD of this dreadful piece of crap ever made.
I think Steed is upset because the TX turned out to be a rug muncher. :cool:
