Terminator Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

Re: Terminator: Genesis (July 1st, 2015)

Yeah, this is dumb and contrived. Terminators don't age (the skin wouldn't last long enough), there would be no reason for Skynet to make an older looking CSM-101 model. It wouldn't be practical.

In the two Cameron flicks, the CSM-101 model (Arnold) isn't the face of every T-800 like T3 or Salvation would have people believe. There was the Franco Columbo T-800 (we'll call it the "CSM-100") in the first film. In the original T2 script it called for dozens of different men and women actors for a cold storage scene where John and the Resistance come across the room full of different looking T-800 CSM faces. 10 to a rack. 10 of the Franco Columbo model T-800, 10 of some chick T-800, 10 of African American model, etc. etc. Skynet had dozens and dozens of these infiltration units. John comes across the CSM-101, Arnold models where there were 9 units left (the 1st was obviously sent to 1984). Those 10 had minor variations of hair style, color and looks.

This whole "they all look like Arnold" thing is lame, the fact that the skin (over an ageless metal robot I might add) can "age" now? That makes it even worse.

I don't believe that all the T800s look like Arnold, but since they are covered in human tissue, I can't understand why it's so hard to believe that it would age. Human tissue grows, the cells divide and it decays, so eventually it will rot.

I think that Arnold will be playing the same T800 from T1. I think something will be done to alter that original movies timeline, and the terminator will never catch up to them. So this picks up years later, explaining why Arnold has aged. So, I think we will be looking forward to that same badass T800 from the first movie. Ruthless, and deadly.

This movie sounds like a bite of a sh it sandwich.

Screw it, only way I am watching this: Christopher Walken as the new T1000

How can that be when the T-800 in T1 had rotting skin from the wounds that were inflicted on him? He was pale and had flies all on him like ****. The skin lasting for 32 years? C'mon.

Re: Terminator: Genesis (July 1st, 2015)

I'll watch it. I'm not the biggest Terminator fan. But if this sucks, I'm gonna be sad they didn't do sequels to Salvation. That one is my favorite of the bunch. Why? Because T1 is a great movie but more of a thriller than an action movie in my mind. T2 is overrated and forgettable despite all the action sequences. I'll admit I've never seen T3. I probably should before this one comes out I guess. Since I don't "love" this franchise, maybe I won't hate it as much as others did?

Yeah I can't see that coming into play. Which makes me wonder, why was he rotting in T1 and not T2? I mean he loses an eye in T1 early in the film, and by the end he looks very pale. In T2 he gets his chest all ripped open from T-1000, and then loses an arm and half his face, so he shouldn't be rotting but he should of been pretty pale in the thumbs up scene.

Re: Terminator: Genesis (July 1st, 2015)

he got HIV during T1. that would make sense. the time frame, the pale skin, everything.

Re: Terminator: Genesis (July 1st, 2015)

The only logical explanation to something like the skin is him being sent to 1984, losing Connor or getting trapped somewhere for 30 years etc. It's just stupid though.

We've recast Sarah Connor. We've already had 3 and are about to have a 4th John Connor. 3 Kyle Reeses. And all of that's not even counting the tv show. It's time to move on from Arnold.

The time frame was short though from when the T-1000 ****s him up to the point where he sacrifices himself to the molten steel. Can't really see anyone's complexion with the glow of that molten steel either.

Re: Terminator: Genesis (July 1st, 2015)

After T2, its all garbage, everything.

Just accept that T1/2 are classics and move on from this crap.

Conan sequel is going to suck just as much.

Salvation . . . That one is my favorite of the bunch. Why? Because T1 is a great movie but more of a thriller than an action movie in my mind. T2 is overrated and forgettable despite all the action sequences. I'll admit I've never seen T3.

Alright I can go with that, and plus he still looks healthy when he's taking his eye out and it's not like he got back to his apartment immediately after getting shot in the face.

He was rotting because he carved his whole eye up and that underflesh that was exposed to the air started to get nasty. Maybe the flies are attracted to endoskeleton lubricant, I don't know.

The timeline divergence would have to be pre-tech noir for my theory to work.

That's true.

Like "what if" Kyle abducted Sarah before the T-800 ever caught up to her or something.

I find it kind of funny that you would be arguing against old Arnie, when I remember you were rushing to his defense in one of the other threads when someone posted that picture of him in a speedo as a way of saying that the years hadn't been good to him(something along the lines of " he just had heart surgery, dumbass"). What changed? I just think it's funny how fickle and fair weather people are. The guy has been entertaining for the past twenty years, yet, because he happens to be in his 60s, he's suddenly a joke.

I subscribe to the idea that age is just a number, and, as long as he feels he can be pumping the movies out, I'll be there to see them.

There's no fickleness or fare-weathering here. I'm all for Arnie reprising an age-appropriate role. You know, the roles he said he was focusing on with his return to acting. This is a desperate attempt for a cash grab by having the T800 nonsensically age and the endo to shrivel and shrink so it can be inside of a 66 year old man who's faaaaaaaaaar from where he was when we, the audience were told why the "body builder frame" was important for housing the endo. I'm sorry you can't see that. I'll defend him when people post the heart surgery photo because that's not fair. This, on the other hand, is completely ludicrous. As a matter of fact, I'd argue that this is just as bad a concept as Sergeant Candy.

Yeah.

I have zero interest to see Arnold in another Terminator movie.

If a stuntman has to be made up to look like a old dude, you are too old to play the character.

Arnold just needs to HGH it up and do King Conan and then ride off into the sunset.
