This could be really good. I hope somehow they can give off the same creepy/ominous vibe you got in T2. One of my fav movies of all time.

Linda Hamilton is 62. I hope that shotgun doesn't fracture her wrist.

what's the consensus on T:3? I haven't really thought about it since I saw it in theaters. I remember enjoying it but not thinking it was particularly great.

I thought like the overall plot points of T3 were really well written, but the execution left a lot to be desired. And the hybrid terminator was pretty stupid.

Is this a continuation of the previous Terminator story lines or is this one of those re-boots in which they pretend none of the previous sequels took place? I hope its that later. I've seen all the sequels but I'd be hard pressed to state where the story stands at this point.

the scene of all the nukes going off is pure greatness

Literally the only thing I remember about that one.

Yeah, I hope they go with basically picking up post T2 and ignore the rest. I enjoyed the other films, none were great but none were total failures. However, it would be nice to clean up the story and start anew. It worked with the Jurassic Park series when the re-booted with Chris Pratt.

Well the good news is that several of these movies have created multiple timelines so they can choose to completely ignore everything that happened by just rebooting the timeline again.

"Ignores" might be the wrong word as yeah, they might have some kind of spiffy time travel excuse in-movie that gives logic to hand-waving away the other movies, but my point is that the filmmakers have definitely said they're pretending all the other post-T2 movies don't exist.

Didn't Josh Friedman work on the Sarah Conner Chronicles?

I liked Genesys a lot actually.

Salvation really had potential but the ending was poor and hokey. Would have been much better with the supposed alternate ending. Supposedly a twist where Connor dies instead of being miraculously saved by Marcus (because Bale did not want to do any sequels) and Marcus the Sam Worthington character the hybrid takes his place as anyone that knew Connor died except his wife and Reese. Everyone else knows his voice and he can perfectly mimic it - so he does in the radio call at the end coming from him Marcus/Connor and not Bale/Connor. In that way John Connor as we knew him becomes a hybrid terminator/human who sent Reese back who knows about Connor's fate but does not tell her.

Terminator 3 is the abomination although it has a few redeeming qualities and scenes and an epic ending - I love that they just went ahead and blew it all up.

So unless they find a way to extend the 1997 judgment day, this will be only 6 years after the T2 events. I guess they can say that the Connors delayed the timeline by destroying the tech, but Cyberdyne still found a way to make things happen later. Thus accounting for the Sarah's age.

But what did she and John do for 30 years? He wouldn't need to train to become a leader because the threat is supposedly gone. He probably ended up barely graduating from HS (lack of drive or discipline), did one year at San Luis Obispo CC, then ended up selling pagers and car stereos at a strip mall. He may have moved up to general manager by judgment day, since he would be about 45.

When Sarah comes to find him to tell him it is time to be a leader, he is mostly bald and has a wicked beer gut.

And Sarah? Did she hide for 30 years? She escaped court-ordered incarceration in the psych ward, shot up a prominent scientist's house, abetted some dude with a mini-gun in shooting up a bunch of cops and then cause all sorts of damage to a steel mill.

did some say pagers?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I like Genisys and thought Salvation was pretty decent. However, the story got really screwed up. It went from simple time travel to making Back to the Future look like child's play. They need to get back to man vs. machine.
