Man when Arnold stepped out that was epic as shit. He even looked like the one from T1. It was even more awesome when he ripped the T600 in half!! And even when his flesh was blown away by the grenade gun, man just badassery to the max!

^ Indeed, they did a excellent job. By the way, did anyone notice Terry Crew's extraordinary small part at the start of the film In case the name doesn't ring a bell here's his profile http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0187719/ Spoiler:

It was like the first five minutes of the movie and all of a sudden I see a dead body and I'm like, hey...it's that one guy lol.

I just saw the film a few hours ago and must say that it was great.

On the other hand, people are saying how the T-600 models, with miniguns equipped, are shooting hundreds of bullets at the Resistence and are getting no kills. Anyone remembers the first two movies and those memorable "future" scenes? Humans were pushed back to night-time guerilla warfare, every time they came out of cover, a plasmacannon ripped them to pieces.

This is the only thing that I didn't like about the film, it seemed like the resistance were too out in the open and yet they were never really attacked.

She's some hardcore shit. The most advanced Terminator imo. The advantages of the T-1000's liquid metal abilities (shape shifting), but a metal endoskeleton underneath so she could bring back weapons from her time into the past, making her a much more efficient killing machine and an "Anti-Terminator Terminator".

Yeah, I've not seen this film yet but I read it's about the early days of the human vs Skynet war, when they're only just beginning to bring out the T-800 models. Hopefully T-1000 and T-X will make an appearance in the sequels.

I dont think T-X is more advanced than the T-1000. Theres a scene in TSCC, and although not canon, shows just how bad a T-1000 model can be against other Terminators.

You just like her because shes a sexy fox ;)

To those whove already seen the movie- did the excess numbers of different Terminators feel out of place?

Yea, I guess the timeline of this future is all screwed up because Connor knows he will be the leader of the resistance. Also Marcus Wright seems a little advanced for this part of the future. It is possible with Skynet's time travel ability that they were able to advance the their technology at a faster and earlier rate while still keeping the older stuff.

[Rombie]

It's not the time travel thing, it's the fact that this Judgment day took place later than the one that the original 2 movies are based upon meaning there was more development time put into the stuff pre-Judgment day which has changed the later events.

I saw this movie yesterday and Im between let down and disappointed.

I now officially almost prefer T3 to this.

[Sevket]

There are two weeks for it to come out here. I am so hyped about it

For god sakes man, think about what you're saying!

Maybe he's right I heard that the movie is a fucking disgrace.....

Once you see it, let it dry a little, and form your opinion a few days later. Really, there were two flaws with T3.

First, the T-X design, all that high-tech blue shit, obviously had to go.
Second, John Connor was like a pussy, and the few moments he showed his "destined future self" were just as pussy-like.
Furlongs Connor portrayal of the age of 13 was far superior. But really, these are the only flaws.

When we turn to Salvation. The only two things that I really, really liked- Christian Bale´s portrayal of John Connor. A lot of people say hes kind of underacting, and that that Avatar d00d stole his show, but thats what made Bales Connor that good. He knows whats going to happen, he knows he has an important role to fill. And its not that "Im important, so Im awesome" ego-trippy kind of position and self-image. Its genuine care for everyone around him, and having to live with the responsibility and knowledge, that if he dies, everyone dies. Youll see it once you see it, remember to try to see his acting and Connors portrayal from that perspective, hell instantly grow on you, in a very homosexual kind of way.
The second thing I really liked about Salvation, were the HKs and various ´nators HUD. Those were very "functional", "minimalistic" and "practical". Pretty much the only legacy left from Camerons Terminator designs.

Everything else is high-quality, good-looking garbage. This, essentially, is not a Terminator film, and definitely not the Terminator film you wanted to see.

Those brilliant 15 second scenes from Camerons vision of terrible, hopeless and bleak future, where humankind REALLY does hang on one man? Thats gone. Once you see 13 year olds kicking T600´s ass and not a single kill by bullets shot by Terminators, youll instantly grow disgusted.

Oh, and one thing T3 had over TS. Have you ever noticed that sometimes in T movies, the Terminator has his hands on his "Primary Target", and instead of impaling or breaking the guys/girls neck, they just throw them around a bit? This is what never happens in T3, and that one occasion it did happen on, Arnie was infected with nano-crabs. In T4, Connor gets ID´d, he gets tossed around. Kyle Reese not only gets ID´d, he gets captured, and instead of being terminated, he is treated the same as everyone else. I know SkyNet planned to use Reese as bait, but you do not need to keep the kid alive to use him as bait, if you have him in a f*cking fortress with noone ever knowing anything whether hes alive or not (more or less).

And from here on, the avalanche of stupid details gone wrong will just overwhelm you.

[YamiYumes]

Just from the above post, I'm going to avoid this movie, pretend it and T3 never happened, and happily re-watch T2.

[Mr. Spencer]

Let's just stop history at 1991 and be done with it.

[YamiYumes]

Let's just stop history at 1991 and be done with it.

Agreed.

[Archelon]

This is what never happens in T3

I think one could argue that it does happen, just in a different manner. The T-X gets out of the squad car at the cemetery disguised as Katherine's fiance, but instead of remaining disguised and walking up all the way to Katherine, the T-X reverts back to its female form while it's several feet away, giving Katherine the chance to make a break for it.

It would have made much more sense for the T-X to remain disguised as the fiance and then when Katherine embraces it, thinking it's her fiance, BAM. That's the end of Katherine Bruester.
