Terminator Salvation

[derf]

Saw it the other night, and it left me wondering.... what is wrong with folks that they cant make a great Terminator movie, it shouldn't be too hard, make it a story about how John goes looking for his father finds him, and gets chased around by a terminator he never fought before.

Ok so the movie wasn't that bad and I did enjoy it for the pure lets blow shit up aspect of it, but it was a little light on story.

I have not seen it yet but hope to soon.

Movie Was Garbage

Haven't seen it, but not too surprising.

That's (usually, for the last couple of decades) Hollywood for ya - blow lots of shit up & throw a bunch of absurdly improbable/unrealistic stunts at the audience & it just doesn't seem to matter if the plots are disjointed shit-stains.

I was pleasantly surprised as I figured it would completely suck and it turned out not so bad

It sucked balls. I can't believe I was actually stupid enough to go to the midnight showing on Wednesday night. I should have known with the PG-13 rating it was gonna blow...

You had no problem with time travel or killer robots, but you pick up a lack of light bulb manufacturing plants???

Well yeh it kinda makes sense to me, time travel is theoretically possible (click me), however how in the hell did they have a ton of light bulbs that worked and planes that flew and all sorts of stuff that needs a whole whole support system to keep it going.

Yeh time travel is a little out there I know that, but with advances in technology, especially by a self aware computer who would quite possibly spend a very large amount of its time and resources doing research.

No Arnold no care. He made that franchise what it is, and now that he's gone, they're just trying to suck it dry of money. It had decent graphics, but the story is a bit shallow.



Speaking of picking on flaws of the movie, they have a complete hanger and all kinds of aircraft. Shouldn't the supercomputer of the future be able to locate that facility? I mean their using infrared on the HKs/flying machines, couldn't they just send those things out on patrol all over the place? Especially since everything is manufactured on an assembly line.

Spoiler:

They sorta explained it that they were able to hold some ground, southern california was under resistance control, although skynet did send some robots to hunt them it was still more concerned with securing the areas it already it already had control over and rounding up the people in that area. If i were to place a bet skynet was more interested with winning the war through attrition, even though it wasn't winning massive battles it would still be able to slowly kill off the people faster than we could procreate. It also seemed that it was still very interested in getting rid of Conner and his father than anything else. Thats pretty much what the whole movie was about, killing conner and his father, with a bonus for blowing up the resistance sub.
