Same. The Sarah Connor Chronicles was really good, got canceled too soon, and recast roles instead of using actors that were far too old.

I just hate the TSCC ended on a freakin' cliffhanger.Same. The Sarah Connor Chronicles was really good, got canceled too soon, and recast roles instead of using actors that were far too old.
And that, yeah. It would be easier if they'd gotten at least some degree of resolution.

It's only a case for it until you realize that Hollywood would never make that movie because it would be too grim and too much of a risk. They want punchy action that'll sell, especially if it's rated harder than PG-13. A grim scifi war movie? No fucking way. You'd stand a better chance of getting SyFy to make it. They would, of course, make it suck.
Actually, they don't. See they aren't scifi. Look at scifi movies. They are pretty much always spectacle blockbuster movies and pretty much never anything else unless they're being done by someone with a lot of pull or following a trend. Without Spielberg making Saving Private Ryan, which made huge money, Fury would never have been made in the first place.Saving Private Ryan and Fury disagrees with you on that statement.
I just saw the movie today and I thought it was good stuff, I've only seen T1 and T2 which luckily are the only relevant ones for the movie. The Rev9's really cool, a great escalation of the T800 and T1000. All the main cast are great, Arnold particularly is hilarious.
There is one twist that falls really flat in how obvious it is but that's not really a big problem.
Spoilers? Does it ends on another clifhanger that implies Skynet survived?
Skynet's not in the movie at all they really did manage to stop it for good at the end of T2, this time the apocalypse happens due to a different AI called Legion that the military creates, hence why we're past the day Skynet's meant to take over and it still hasn't. As of the end of the movie nothing's been done that'll stop Legion but with the message that's what's going to happen next trying to change that future, it's not really a cliffhanger or sequel bait it feels like there doesn't need to be another one but at the same time they could easily make a T2 esque sequel about that. Skynet not being around is why the Rev 9 uses a different naming convention.

And this code can probably still be accessed publicly through GitHub since nobody ever bothered to make its repository private.It's not the Type 800, Model 101. It's Revision 9 of the Terminator platform. There's probably some Google and Amazon legacy code whizzing inside its robot brain somewhere.
So reviews for Terminator: Dark Fate are coming out and they're actually pretty positive? It's at 68% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, which is pretty damn solid. I figured it would be a watchable dumb action flick to waste two hours on but it might apparently be pretty decent?

So Jay Exci's not at all positive
Also he gives out spoilers for the entire thing.
...
So basically it completely shits on the themes of Terminator 2 regarding changing fate, undoes the actual victory that was achieved in the previous movies ending at the very start of this film (which takes places right after the end of Terminator 2 to rub it in even more) by having a blatant Diabolos Ex Machina kill off John by surprise T-800 Assassin and makes Sarah Connor both OOC and sexist purely to subvert things in the most blatantly obvious manner possible? Oh and just replaces Skynet with a new TOTALLY NOT JUST SKYNET WITH A DIFFERENT NAME HONEST!
Yeah I'm giving this a miss. Normally I'd be up for fun action stuff like this but ugh.
Look, any post-T2 sequel is necessarily going to negate at least some aspect of the film - T2 was pretty definitive with it's ending. I'll give the filmmakers credit for finding a new way to disregard the previous films instead of having Arnold go "Lol nah Judgement Day is inevitable" and moving on.
*EDIT* Also the series has never been internally consistent - T1 ends on a fatalistic note and clearly lays out that it's all a closed time loop, while T2 literally and figuratively blows all of that up in favor of a happy ending.
Linda Hamilton said:Our fate as humankind is pretty dark. The movie is dark, although it's got its moments of humor as well, but really the dark fate of mankind because they just keep building AIs that become self-aware and you know, humankind is the architect of its own demise. That's sort of a repetitive theme in all of the movies. That's our jumping-off point for this one.
