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

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 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

I think Steed is upset because the TX turned out to be a rug muncher.
