So, the new Terminator movie is going to be even worse than expected (Page 4)

In bowling it's a hook, not a twist.

Studios don't want to risk it so they stick it safe with remakes and sequels. Gets a little tiring like the whole superhero franchise thing going on. I mean something called "Ant man" is coming out. What???

But this looks like what would happen if you let the guys I used to buy weed from make a movie.

Shared universes are the big thing now. Marvel/Disney makes massive profits on theirs, because it means that they can make movies about people like Guardians of the Galaxy or indeed Antman and a decent percentage will watch them. It's like sequels, except with stars and directors getting tired of it and wanting out. Terminator has been determined to be a good choice for a possible shared universe, so they're pushing it.

Isn't everyone getting close to Marvel overload? I felt GotG was the peak before people started getting sick of it.
I've certainly heard the comment this is why Jurassic World was so popular. People want properties which have been fallow for awhile.

I think people want new but Hollywood doesn't have much. And doesn't have the balls to try much.
|
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Sequels are safe. Everyone will see a great movie and skip a terrible one, but a middling movie will do much better as a sequel than as a new property. Edge of Tomorrow is the perfect example of this: Original story, good reviews from critics, and underwhelming box office. They barely made their money back.

Everybody wants new, but nobody want to try new. They'll go see it when everyone else says its ok. And then they'll want a sequel, but they won't want it to be obvious that the studio set it up for a sequel.

A few of the recent ones are 'soft reboots': a similar story to the original but doing something different (Jurassic World?), or a new film where events bring a timey-wimey rewrite of the previous films (Genisys), or a story in somewhere in the timeline of a known universe that hasn't been in the previous films (Fury Road). That way its a new film with a known title.
Anyways, I went to see Genisys lastnight, and IMO it's better than I thought it would be. It isn't T1 or T2 good (and I would have been surprised if it was), but its better than T3 or Salvation. Yes there's timey-wimey timeline stuff, yes it leaves things open and doesn't explain a few things, but they came over as questions that the next films will answer.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Saw it this morning. It didn't suck, was an entertaining popcorn flick. I'd rank it in the middle of the Terminator franchise.

These reviews make me think they were deliberately lowering expectations.

Terminator Genisys: The Spoilyr FAQ
Someone has apparently been sending Terminators back willy-nilly throughout time. A T-1000 was sent in 1973 to kill Sarah when she was a kid, because it was too hard to kill her as an adult. But then someone sent a T-800 to protect her, and that’s who has become the old Terminator Sarah names “Pops.” But also Skynet has apparently also sent a new T-1000 to kill Kyle Reese when he arrives in 1984, which somehow Sarah and Pops also knew was coming. This is still in addition to the regular T-800 sent to kill Sarah in 1984.
In 2027, right as Kyle was about to be sent back in time, Matt Smith—who had been a regular human soldier without any lines—grabs John Connor and reveals himself to be some kind of new nanobot Terminator from out of nowhere. Matt Smith grabbing John Connor in 2027 somehow erases the events of all the previous Terminator movies, including the original Judgment Day. And now somehow, a new “killer app” named Genisys will become Skynet and blow up the world in 2017. So in 1984 Sarah Connor has built a time machine to travel ahead to 1997, in order to stop the original Judgment Day. But Kyle Reese now has memories from the new timeline Matt Smith Terminator where his parents gave him Genisys as a birthday present when he was 7, so he knows about it and its launch date as an adult. And Kyle manages to convince Sarah to travel forward to 2017 to stop that instead.

Was it just me or was Matt Smith only in it for about 30 seconds or so?

I thought Godzilla was proof that Hollywood has run out of ideas.

Just because I like it when people get mad at me, here is where I remind everyone I thought the 90's Godzilla rocked.
Funny, clever, no love story, excellent use of CGI, and Godzilla was cast as the good guy.

Plot holes and terrible decisions galore. The way Arnold said "Kyle Resse" sounded like the first part of "khaleesi" which was really confusing.
Naked CGI Young Arnold was uncanny-valley-creepy as fuuuuuck.

If you start from something that is a mere representation of a human, like a stick figure, and start moving towards more realistic, by way of a cartoon, an oil painting, 3D rendering etc, a human being will start to feel more familiar with the image and show a greater emotional attachment to it - up to a certain point. When you get fairly close but still clearly a construct, a human starts to get a feeling that something is wrong. If you plot this on a graph, the emotional attachment goes down sharply at this point, only to rise again when you get even closer to realistic. This is called the uncanny valley, because it looks like a valley on the graph.

Here's the graph:
The pic on the bottom does a good job showing a normal face, which is out of the valley, and one which is very close, but because it's so close but not quite there, it looks "off".

Thankyou both.
I know, I should have Googled. I was thinking that it may have something to do with some American TV show that I'd never seen.
