I'd rather see a Salvation 2 than Arnold play the T-850 or 800 again...

This got me thinking--one Terminator movie I would like to see is one where they just go balls out with the alternate reality angle, where it would be a really trippy movie that tried to perplex all the viewers with the convoluted logic. There would be little if any action, just people sitting around discussing the theory and ramifications of time travel. Like Primer, except way less accessible and with Terminators.I like the idea of a radically changed past relative to the original due to events in the future (or was it the past...). You could set these events up in the next film so that the third and final could take place in a modern day setting with a completely different concept of the terminator and maybe even a different future leader (female, maybe?). But, IMO an attempted true remake of the original is just not possible - Schwarzenegger is so iconic and, as was mentioned earlier, the novelty of his inhuman look just wouldn't have the same impact today with the ubiquity of CG. Anyway, the Terminator remains one of sci-fi's greatest franchises and I'll keep watching.
Still think they can do both. Bring Bale back as Connor, Biehn in to reprise Reese and Arnie to reprise T-850 from T3. Have the whole movie be a huge war at Cyberdine where John sees the first T-800 sent back, they capture the time displacement equipment where he sends Reese back to close out the events of T1, they lose it so the T-1000 can go through, recapture it and find another T-800 (can be CG) and sends it back to close the events of T-2, and just after sending the T-800 back, gets killed by old Arnie as the T-850 trying to prevent the TX from going through. Katherine deactivates the T-850, reprograms it and sends it back to close the events of T3 before they blow up Cyberdine for good. Wraps everything up in a big greasy sack before it goes any further.
You've put far more time and brain power into this than I have.
I just imagine a really old Arnie trying to play a role he was far too old for ten years ago...
Nah. I say the robots ultimately win. Negating all the previous efforts by the humans in all the previous movies.. . .about the resistance mopping up the rest of the machines. . .
Robots developing human emotions is so ____ing mind-blowing that I wish they would keep making movies about it over and over. Damn it's so awesome---and may one day be possible. Or willllllll it?
Even more of a stretch to try and pass off Biehn now as Biehn from 25 years ago
Hes starting to look older now. He got away with it for quite a long time. His forehead is getting bigger....hes looking a bit more gaunt too - hope theres nothing sinister behind that.

I think many of you are looking at this with older eyes. You have to take into account the new generations of people that have no memories of T1, T2, because they haven't got any idea about them. The majority of kids and young adults could care less these days. So any move made today has to try and appeal to the new generations of movie goers, that's where the majority of the money is. Terminator movies have always been about making as much money as possible, they aren't a charity. The audience and attitudes have changed. That's why we got Salvation and Predators etc, etc. The days of Chuck Norris drinking a beer and driving a Bronco out of a 10' hole (after being buried alive) are over. Those wacky movie makers. Hahahaha!
