Welcome to Gaia! ::

I saw it an I laughed my butt off. MY favorite comment was "Who let the pregnant lady on the helicopter?"

I WANT TO MAKE HOT LOVE TO CHRISTIAN BALE ALL OVER AGAIN GUYS

HE NEEDS TO STOP BEING SO AWESOME MY LIBIDO CAN'T TAKE IT

Oh, the plot was incredibly flawed.
But Terminator is never about plot.
It's about blowing s**t up and making you feel all pumped up and awesome.

I mean, 300's plot sucked.
But you don't see people going "Oh boohoo 300 was a piece of crap I'll never see it!" do you?

No, you see people making a bajillion and one 300 jokes and going
YES OMG 300 WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVEEEER

My post about this matter in another guild:

I love Terminator. But I've never seen Terminator 1. lol.

I have T2 on DVD and I saw T3 and I couldn't wait for Terminator Salvation.

In terms of plot, there basically is none, pretty much.

I only didn't like one part of the movie, and that was this (spoiler kinda) :
When the t800/arnold swarzenagger shows up. His body just looked way to out of proportion and I laughed. He had no business being in the movie (even if he was cg) and it just completely ruined it for me personally. But whatever.

ANYWAYS

I loved the movie because it was ALL ACTION ALL THE TIME!
And the cinematography, at least int he first half of the movie, was brilliant.
I felt like I was in an amusement park ride and I even said to my friend who was sitting next to me "Do they show this in 3d? If they showed this in 3d it would BE A TRIP"
I'd totally pay like $20 to see this movie in 3D. If it's showing in 3D IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT.

I felt like I was in a virtual amusement park ride for at least the first hour.
I was getting flashbacks of the Terminator ride/movie/thing from Universal Studios (Which is awesome by the way) and is also the reason I was like OMG MUST HAFF 3D PLZ.

In what little plot there was, I didn't like it.
The character development was cliche and blah and I know I have a sort of bias since I haven't seen T1 so I don't really know how the story "started" and all, but one of the main characters just... Doesn't really make sense.
spoiler:A half human/robot dude? C'mon, Skynet would know better then to trust a human. The whole story was completely flawed. Plus, if we was programmed to help Skynet anyways, why were all the Terminators still attacking him hmmm?

Anyway if you like action movies, Terminator is AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

But if you prefer plot with your explosions that you should probably look elsewhere.

But..But.. there was a plot!!

Skynet, this evil robot super computer has taken over the world and built tons and tons of robots to destroy humans. In Terminator Salvation, Judgment Day has already happened and it tells the story of the resistance fighting the robots.

I thought it was kind of a cool plot/story.

Okay I guess the IDEA for the plot was good but it was FILLED with holes.
See my white text in the post above.

I agree on number one, but number two I think is bull.

He was intent on saving his dad because this was a different timeline. Nothing was set in stone. That's why he had to do it.
I mean, regardless or not if his dad was SUPPOSED to live, the fact remains that IF he died, John wouldn't be alive in the future.

I mean, it's the same concept as the Star Trek movie, really.

EXACTLY! If he died, John wouldn't be alive. MEANING that he couldn't have died in that Skynet place, because John KNEW he was there, and John didn't automatically disappear.

I didn't watch Star Trek.
