Terminator Salavation will look very silvery

Started by Mike Olbinski · 11 months ago

Terminator Salvation has reached the mid-point of production. Most of you have likely already seen the first teaser for the movie either on our site or attached to The Dark Knight this past weekend.
McG posted an update on the film’s official production blog a few days ago and one of the major highlights I took from it was the cool stuff they ... Continue reading »

    I think this is already one of those films that has transcended original public opinion on the matter. I personally thought the idea was incredibly stupid when I first heard they wanted to make three more, but now that they have the players in place and we've actually seen some footage and whatnot, I think we have a genuine original film that will be able to rise above what we were last given and be successful on its own merits - sounds vaguely familiar doesn't it?

    "Who doesn’t like a silvery picture?" I think those going for gold next month might disagree. But I am always partial to silver. Why be the best, when you can slack off a little and be second-best?

    The bombs going off were only the begining. Naturally you are going to have a fair amount of survivors all over the world and those are being rounded up and put into extermination camps, as per terminator 1. The brink moment he is refering to is, my guess, that time when most of the remaining people are rounded up and the end is really near - right before connor comes in and starts leading them up and to resist.. upon which follows is the 'war' we saw in the first two movies.

    Here are the quotes (easily grabed from a wiki page" and you can decide:

    Kyle Reese: There was a nuclear war. A few years from now, all this, this whole place, everything, it's gone. Just gone. There were survivors. Here, there. Nobody even knew who started it. It was the machine, Sarah.

    Sarah Connor: I don't understand.

    Kyle Reese: Defense network computers. New... powerful... hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination.

    Sarah Connor: Did you see this war?

    Kyle Reese: No. I grew up after. In the ruins... starving... hiding from H-K's.

    Sarah Connor: H-K's?

    Kyle Reese: Hunter-Killers: patrol machines built in automated factories. Most of us were rounded up, put in camps for orderly disposal.

    [Pulls up his right sleeve, exposing a mark]

    Kyle Reese: This is burned in by laser scan. Some of us were kept alive... to work... loading bodies. The disposal units ran night and day. We were that close to going out forever. But there was one man who taught us to fight, to storm the wire of the camps, to smash those metal motherfuckers into junk. He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink. His name is Connor. John Connor.

    Im glad they are getting people to work on this who love the films. I've been waiting for the future war for over 20 years. Im a visual effects artist now... anyone know someone I could talk to to see if I can work on this? :) Dream come true..

    Can't see much reason for machines bent on killing humanity to have to go through the step of rounding people up into camps first...and what problems would machines have with rotting bodies?

    I don't see why machines would somehow inherit traces of homophobia or any other human foibles, sir.
