Lets make it clear.Cyberdyne is a company which developed a system named Skynet. In 2003, Cyberdyne did not know about the future and Skynet betrayed them. So from there they built Marcus to lure John and Kyle?

Read my previous post for the answer.

I'm a terminator fan, watched all the movies and TV series (sarah).

It was hard for me to open my eyes at the beginning stage (after the heli crash)...blame it on watching too much terminator stuff previous night. Mid way, story picked up and end of it....nothing to shout abt. (except for the action scenes which was very good...up to todays standards).

I like the cam view where it potrayed the heli crashing down only to be known that it was nuclear blast that caused it, kinda remind me of cloverfield.

-Tense and suspense scenes were missing...it was never like T1 where you are sitting edge of the seat, maybe there was too much of it in T4 or not executed well by the director.

Did you sleep half way through your movie? Marcus wright against t600, harvester, mototerminator, marcus making an escape from the resistance, john and marcus against t-800? There was a hell lot of intense moment, heck the movie is 80% action packed

-Void of humor (yes, it does matter even with a Terminator movie, T2 was great, even T3 had some humor). Now I can understand why some critics mention it.


Why do you need humor, t3 had to much humour in it that it became really cheesy and corny, terminator movies are suppose to be dark, t2 had just the perfect balance only because it was part of the storyline of john getting to know the terminator well, if you want some laughter go ahead and jump in some shea la bouf movies.


-Infiltration to skynet was way too easy...I was thinking of nothing less than ninja skills or superman to break into skynet alone, even with Marcus help.

It was easy because serena wanted to welcome them and make sure that they had nowhere to run when they are trapped inside.....

-Another problem is it started and ended in 2018......even in 2029, humans were having a hard time with skynet...so 2018 is just a passing year...so when are we humans gonna win the war....T5, T6 or T7?

So do you want this franchise to finish off at 2018 instead of 2029? And you call yourself a terminator fan? laugh.gif

-Thing is...why did he has to save Kyle Reese?...yes, I know its mention in T1, but think of it....John Connor is alive right?...even with his dad getting killed, he will still be alive.....how many 'worlds' are there?....suppose someones dad gets killed by an accident means that the child is not born?...but the child now is already been born and kicking butts. i remembered in 2029, John in still alive (but older with the scar face) fighting a war.

-its a fiction ffs, unless your into physics or john titor.

End of the day, after rewinding back T1,2 and 3...plus all of that sarah chronicles, come to my senses abt the whole Terminator Story and the fall of it in T4...

I personally give it a 6/10! sorry fanz....6 because the action was good, and they didn't forget Arnie....or else its a 4/10.

How about the fall of it after the 1st terminator? Afterall the time displacement machine was destroyed after kyle and the t-800 went in, so how did they make another time travel machine?

wow....i was surprised that the movie is good...
and i wonder how LYN professional movie critics doesnt feel that way...

Lyn professional movie critics? Youve gotta be kidding me, when you go to a movie you have to go with an open mind and forget about all the critisism otherwise it will impair your judgement, here a few type haters on these boards:-

-Bashing the movie just because its directed by an unknown director/for those who have known him for charlie angels.

-Because its not directed by cameron, and that other directors shouldnt be given a chance.

-People criticizing it even before watching, yes i notice a lot does this, just read the previous posts on this thread.

-Transformers fanboyism.

-People who thinks that they are cool by throwing critism because everyone is doing it.

-And not to forget that this is a fiction, nothing has to be real. The timeline, why terminators are throwing around instead of killing j.c

-Christian bale's outrage.


-Its pg13

-etc

But the main point is that these people has already this mindset at which what their gonna watch is a crapfest, the funny thing is a lot of them sit tightly to their seats until the whole movie is over, cant say the same thing about the spirit or other bad movies where people leave their seats empty, they focus on the whole very detail of it, (some i couldnt remember) so they can criticize later on. Which brings me to a certain posts earlier mentioned where a lot of people dont have a stand or their too afraid to voice out because of the dissing and all the hate pointed out at T.S.

Well einstein theory of relativity is good a read up for those who are interested in travelling into the future. And theres also Cryogenics, going back to the past is pretty impossible ATM.

I bet serena is alive and well, if not she wouldnt have the guilt concious about killing marcus and when he turned on to the machines. Hope she comes back in the 5th installment.

serena is dead (cancer). the early concept art of her is out from the film (which had the kinda like I-950 on her brains)
lol talking bout transformers 2 in here just pisses me off. get out! doh.gif  sweat.gif  doh.gif

To have skynet having emotion and feelings towards one if its breaktrough,"your one of us now" i cant help it but im sure that the machine that was talking to marcus was a human being or something which is a close resemblance to a human, it felt like he was one of them and none other than serena could have had that feelings because he saved her.. probrably from dying.
