This pretty much sums up this new installment, I had good hopes (not high, not great, but good) for this movie, up until the spoileriffic JC trailer. Does anyone know where Matt Smith went? Was he just taking pics early on and disappeared or what?
we're never, ever going to get the future war movie we want, so let's see what else the franchise can do
I think, at this point, it's basically safe to view any future Terminator material as "Totally separate from 1 and 2." It's ALL Alternate Universes now, and that's ok.
Like, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I really enjoyed that show, and it TOTALLY screwed with the timeline, and I was fine with it. Why? Because....eh, screw it. we're never, ever going to get the future war movie we want, so let's see what else the franchise can do.
At this point, much as I love the first two, I don't have any illusions about future films coming even slightly close to them, so why worry? I'll just treat these as popcorn distractions or netflix rentals, and leave it at that. Maybe they'll entertain, maybe not, but I don't really care a ton.
Or in other words, this isn't a beloved franchise. It's a beloved set of two films, and a cool bunch of ideas. So, go ahead and play with the ideas, and I'll keep my "brain canon" separate from whatever the official position is on whether T3, T:S, T:SCC, or any of the other stuff has "actually happened." If it's an interesting, entertaining story that takes things to interesting places...I'm cool with it. Blow the lid off of it. The originals will remain separate and sacred for me.
I suppose it also does help that, because this all deals with time travel, I can always "alternate timeline" every crappy entry.
Sarah Connor is apparently a Terminatrix. She can make her chest bigger, on demand.
