FFS why on earth do modern directors seem to want to do everything in their power to totally ruin great movie franchises? If Terminator was supposed to be an action film then maybe this would have been half decent. Terminator is NOT an action film though, it is supposed to have heart. It is supposed to drag us in and engage us, it should be filled with suspense and even elements of horror. TS however is devoid of all of these things, all it is is head candy. The creators sell-out and make it a 12 certificate to boost audiences, which just adds to the lack of intelligence. There is no character development and the plot is about as robotic as the villains in the movie.
Why can't James Cameron come back to do the Terminator series?
Why can't Ridley Scott come back to do Alien?
Why do they have to go out and ruin two perfectly good movie franchises by incorporating Alien and Predator into one utterly shite film?
Fucks sake.
Rant over.
I dunno, Aliens was better than Alien tbh so if they made a new one Cameron would have to do it. Actually I've seen very little of Alien but I mean c'mon, 'Game over man! Game over!'

It was a good movie. Though I thought Terminators outnumbered humans, however that ratio is off in the movie.
TS is set in the sort of early days. In its own right I liked the movie, it was different. Of course it doesn't beat T2, or T1, but its not so much aimed at being the same as them. One thing though which I really wish they would stop doing is making movies all 12's. Srsly, I haven't seen a 15 certificate movie for years. They're either all 12's, or 18's, with the 18 movies generally being horror genre movies.
Films like the new Terminator need extra violence tbh, it would provide more threat.
