In this film when Pops is struggling with T-John and trying to keep him inside the Time displacement machine he speaks with a strained, stop-starty voice. Likewise in T3 when he is implausibly holding up the giant blastdoor with his shoulder he speaks to John with noticeable strain in his voice. This happens to me if I'm speaking while trying to move a couch.....but should this be the case for a machine? Would a T-800's vocal ability be in any way affected by physical exertion of other parts?

I would say it could be distorted. Turn on a radio and shake the **** out of it. Prolly sounds the same.

Yes. In addition, no soup for you. Come back, one year!

All going back to the old problem of people forgetting that he's just a robot. It doesn't make any sense IMO. Robots can reach their physical limits but shouldn't grunt.

I wonder if this has leaked yet.

Unless programmed to mimic human behavior and having been exposed for decades...
It's a movie. You're overanalysing. =)
Yeah cmiller99, **** sake. 
Went and saw this tonight and, perhaps due to the crappy trailers, I went in with low expectations and came out pleasantly surprised.
Good stuff:
The movie had more to it than even the most revealing trailer showed. Thank goodness. I particularly enjoyed that they took the timeline paradoxes we've all noticed through the years and put them front and center in the story. Time travel was a major plot point here. On that level, it almost felt deeper than the other films. *ducks flames*
Hey, if every event in the classic Terminator storyline (the T-800 being sent back to kill Sarah, Reese being sent back to protect -- and conceive John) depends on the other and results in an inevitable circle, you have to change something to keep the franchise going. I'm glad they managed to do so in a way that didn't necessarily negate the previous films. Fans will be pissed no matter what, but given how they still used the 'rules' of this universe to justify the events, it could've been worse. Also I really bought Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor. Good choice.
Bad stuff:
Effects were average at best. Jai Courtney was still incredibly bland. I didn't want to punch him; he was just generic as hell. Typical, beefed-up, stoic Hollywood action dude. Michael Beihn had more character in his physique, let alone his acting ability. As for Matt Smith... he wasn't terrible, but why was he even in this movie?
Helena Bonham Carter played a more compelling, intimidating computer system than this dude. Just seemed like an odd choice.
Undecided:
Arnold pretty much played a caricature of himself. T'was fun. Bittersweet, but fun. I liked his character. It's not like the originals (especially T2) were devoid of cheese factor.
And why were Pops' clothes and skin still intact after that helicopter dive? Dude should've been a full-on Endo at that point. Filing this under "Undecided" only because I don't know if I care enough to really let this of all things mess with my enjoyment of the film.
Overall:
Not bad. Could've been a hell of a lot worse, I'll say it again. It was a better, more thought-out ride than T3 with some interesting and comparatively complex ideas. I just can't imagine how they'll do two more of these. Seems like the series is pretty much done unless someone wants to give the future war idea another shot.
6/10 - Average, but leagues higher than I thought I'd score this.

If he was programmed to mimic human behaviour then why didn't he scream in pain when his arm was being burnt off by acid?
I just think it's inconsistent characterisation.
Yeah cmiller99, **** sake.

Because there was no longer a threat?
Still, didn't take away from enjoying the film.

? I meant from pain.
I did sort of enjoy the movie. I thought it worked more as a dumb action movie than a Terminator movie though.
Seeing this tonight. Found it still lurking in one little theater far away and decided to catch it before it disappears for good from the theaters in LA.
Review to follow... muhahhahahahaha!

Just go into expecting to have fun.
If I have fun, I will be amazed. But I sure hope so... I'm expecting nothing.... so maybe, just maybe.

I went in without expectations and enjoyed it quite a bit...hope it's the same for you Wor-Gar
Me too. But I gave this movie such a hard time that I feel obligated to see it for myself... just like Morpheus says.

Tear that shiz up Wor-Gar. You'll love the first 15 minutes or so though.
