Most hollywood movies these days end on a cliche of a cliff hanger. The Terminator franchise isn't going anywhere.

How was Bale in the movie? Did he show any other emotion apart from acting like he has sand in his vagina.

well you'll have to see it, the end is pretty decent since it leads to a new movie definitely with what happens.

I heard it's so grounded in action that it ignores the larger concerns the older Terminator series set forth. A critic was heard to remark that at one point he forgot he was actually watching another film from the series but instead another tired, cliche actioner wrapped in a Terminator label. I could have seen it at midnight last night but passed for this very reason. McG is a terrible director.

^ nope, just of Marcus wrights character, and to Line, the year is 2018, world is destroyed machines everywhere, of course most of the movie is action, if it wasn't it would make sense.

Sam Worthington is an Aussie actor. He's done some great stuff but I'm not sure how he'd go in an actioner.

@ Line: They were always going to try and make this into a blockbuster. They would have gotten James back to direct and write otherwise.

it was allright

Weird and didn't fit coherently into the terminator time frame already set in place, but I credit that to T-3 for fucking it up big time in the first place.

Well, yes and no. James has been so busy with Avatar for such a long period of time that I worry about his mental state. Jokes aside, he wasn't coming back for this in the same way that McG wasn't hired to make a good movie. He was hired to unapologetically blow things up, to make "creative" imagery come alive so posters and trailers would look interesting and to subsequently put people into seats. Reviews and word of mouth are already terrible though and even the midnight crowd from when my editor saw the film didn't greet it very warmly. I can't stress enough how much of a hack McG is, for reasons beyond how tasteless and post-modernly confused his self-title is. He's really a poor man's Michael Bay, who, if anything, actually showed signs of improvement with Transformers. McG shows no improvement or willingness to do so in any of his films, because he's making too much money to bother with matters like authorian expression. So, in this sense, he did his job, but I can't see fans of the series (who appreciate its broader concerns beyond a) the action scenes, and b) Arnold) actually liking this film.

I really like this quote from our writer at Box Office and, although I tend to usually disagree with her reviews, I found this bit pretty summarizing of what McG does as a filmmaker. That is, forget the details.
And though we're curious how the very old, the very young and the very ignorant have survived the last fourteen years of machine-on-man genocide, there's no real sense that they have. People don't seem toughened; they seem transplanted into a devastated world.
The rest is here.

Just watched the trailer for the first time and it looks like your average summer block buster cashing in on an already successful franchise and turning it into what comes out your arse several hours after your food has digested.

All Bale needs to do now is a romcom.

Ok, it was generic. But the action ? Tell me it was orgasm inducing, please. At least give me that.

I don't care what Line says, being that serious about movie critiquing is scary,. anyway, lets see if the next one is gonna lead off.

You find my approach scary and I find your approach incredibly boring so I guess we're even.

Just saw it. It was ok. Cool ideas and such but much more could have gone into the plot. There was no depth to the film.
