Anyone else psyched as fuck about this film? This is what I've been waiting for since T2 so this oughta kick ass. I'm taking my mother in law (I don't know if she'll like it but she wants to get out of the house) to a Thursday morning show. I'm so psyched for this film I just cum air whenever I see an ad for it.

After seeing the first one when I was a little kid I've looked forward to all the other Terminators after that. 2 was awesome and 3 was even really good. So I'll definitely be checking this one out

Most people don't like 3. And for the first half of the movie I agree with them. The last half is why we get Salvation. I'm just stoked to see Kyle Reese and John Conner in action. I'm hoping this starts off with John coming out of the Presidential Fallout Shelter into the present world and he has to win the hearts and minds of the survivors. By kicking ass. I can count on my fingers how many movies I've been stoked to see in the theaters this decade so I just hope I'm not setting the bar to high in my head like I did with Alien vs Predator.

I loved 3! I might be in the minority. For Arnold being a fossil and releasing the movie 12 years after 2 I thought it was extremely well done. The first T was obviously the anchor of the series but 2 still is my favorite by a mile. A lot of times when you have a successful series of movies it's usually because part 2 outdid part 1. I feel that way with Terminator, Rocky, and arguably the Godfather.
The fate and destiny from the time warps in Lost reminded me a lot of Terminator in terms that, even though the Lostees went back in time and are trying to change everything, everything that happened 30 years later was inevitable. Kind of like, you ask the question, did they just change history or did it happen already? And after all this time(with Lost and even Terminator) we still aren't exactly sure. We know in Terminator that John was obviously meant to be the leader, no matter how hard he tried not to. Now the question is, does he send back the same Terminators that were sent to him years back? Going by the direction they're taking the movies in I'd say, yes. It seems like that's the same direction they are going with Lost(it already happened even though it's happening now type thing). Regardless, I'm so intrigued by time warps mixed with Destiny and fate in shows/movies if they are done right.

I really really enjoyed 3 when I saw it, but now I realize how tacky it was with the Tx and the non-heroic john. Nick was a good actor but he was not JOHN fucking Connor. Now we finally get the real heroic John Connor who kills terminators like I kill ants. I am stoked as hell to see it and finally see the dirty oily T-600s with gatling gun/grenade guns on their arm and the next gen T-700 too in one film and how Tech Com was formed in 2018 once John Takes over from General Ashdown. Its time for a war movie I think this movie will kick ass. Star Trek was so good that when I left it I was afraid T4 would not match up but Terminator is more my type of movie as I believe in the apocalypse future more than the fantastic star trek future.

Thats what killed T3 for me. That dude who played pussy John Conner. Edward Furlong was a good choice when he played it and Christian Bale looks good as him too. I just couldn't buy into T3 Conner. But like I said it was the end of the film that made that film awesome.
John taking control of The Resistance is another storyline I'm looking forward too. I'm pretty sure it isn't as easy as telling people he has had contact with the Terminators before.
Champ, maybe in Salvation we'll see Kyle Reese go back in time to save Sarah Conner. Then in Terminator 5 see them actually send the Terminator back to save himself. The only thing I know is Thursday can't come fast enough.

Yeah, this film is going to rock. I'm definitely excited. I usually don't watch movies in the theaters because I hate sitting there(in the seats) but this is one of those movies I might just have to make that exception for. It's clearly going to be better on a huge screen

They do not send Reese back in this film hes just a teenager with a shotgun in 2018 he was sent back from the year 2027 or 2029 when he was a hardened veteran.

So John and his estranged vet girlfriend have spent like 14 years in the fallout shelter, correct? Just trying to get my facts straight here.

I had no idea about this until I saw a trailer a couple of days ago. It looks pretty good.

Dont quote me, I just know he has a redheaded girlfriend in the movie they might have thrown out the rest of the t3 story though. This is around 14 years later so hes 30something and not yet the leader of humanity.

Even if the story gets twisted and messed, I saw a huge motherfucking spaceship blowing shit up in the trailer, so it's still going to be worth watching. Maybe his redhead girlfriend is the sister of his friend who had the red mullet and the boom-box with Gn'R blairing out of it.

The funny thing is I always remember Edward Furlong's friend from his role on Different Strokes

I just got back from the 11am showing I cannot believe how good this movie is. They got the story down perfect and it all fits into T1 and the stuff Kyle Reese said. Go see it!
