The Arnie bit confuses me. If it's a follow on from T2 - where did he come from? What with all the melty thumbs up and wot not. Another, older T-100? Looks OK. Not great, but good brain-out cinema. Though I guess we've seen all the good bits in the trailer.
And why does she freak when she sees AhNold? Last time she saw him, he saved her ass, plus she was eulogising about him!

Slightly different version of the trailer, for the Australian market, with snippets of different clips which plays better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdivOFoF8-gEvercross said:
Because there's more than one T-800 Model 101 and she doesn't know if it is a relatively benign reprogrammed one or not.
She's met two, one bad one good, the last was a good one and is the one she had the most time/interaction with, the way that her companion is opening the door is not apprehensive. He's clearly not shooting immediately. It doesn't really make sense. Not in the way she acts. Unless her companion says, 'I'm knocking on this door to let a deadly killer robot come to it and not kill us immediately.'

Let's see if his words come back to haunt him once this is released.

Can't say I'm too enthusiastic right now, it just looks full of weightless CGI
Isn't that 90% of modern films? Watching (I think it was) Transformers was just like a PS4 video game with no real character interaction just pointless explosions and robot fighting. I'm starting to see Marvel stuff being much the same.Morningside said:

THe fx isn't all cgi, it's a pretty seamless blend. I think it's one of the modern exemplary examples which shows how cgi should work in a modern action film.

Great to see T1 on the big screen the other night. I didn't have time to stay and watch T2 which is a shame as its my favourite film.
For info, in T1 when they show the dogs barking at the terminator that infiltrates their camp, the terminator is played by Arnies pal Franco Columbu who was his body building partner before he made it into acting. Arnie got small parts for his pal Franco in quite a few of his films,
Sadly Franco died yesterday, drowning in a sea accident.

Probably from a future timeline just like in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. I thin that was the idea in the last one wasn't it? And that was basically he idea in T2, that it has been done at the same time as the first film...but then they destroyed the equipment.
Having said that, the end of Terminator hints at multiple Terminators coming. But then that's the problem with these things. The first is seminal, the second makes a great film, I enjoyed the third...but really, let it die, time travel shenanigans have made it risible now.
They keep going back to the well...and back..and back...and back...

I'd say the finale sums up what I dislike about many modern action films - the heros taking out legions of generic baddies without effort, so there's never the slightest feeling they're in any sort of danger.https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2012/06/fully-assem...
