i think this should be cool, as long as they make decent movies that don't rely soley on the terminator name to sell, *cough* T3 *cough* i actually read about this a couple of days ago on sci-fi wire but i have heard people talking about T4 and assumed it was already common knowledge

Oh lord

Let it die already. T3 was shameful enough, you don't have to keep violating the franchise's corpse, kids.


/T2 should've been the end.

I loved the first tow Terminator films but I've a bad feeling about this one

T3 made money even though it was terrible, this new 4th movie now has the chance to become the biggest turkey, biggest flop...even bigger than a Catwoman or Battlefield Earth

[Daniel Jackson]

I like T3 and expect T4 to be great.

Agreed, T3 totally undid the whole no fate but what we make thing T2 set up, which was just crap IMO.

i think i prefer the premise for t4 than i did for t3, i am optimistic even though i thought T3 was like an average hollywood blockbuster movie, unlike the brilliant first 2

[Mattathias2.0]

I liked T1 and 2, but T3 was iffy.

Frankly the complications are enough to do my head in.

Actually, T3 didn't undo the no fate but what we make message, it took it further. T1 presented a predestination paradox. T2 broke that predestination paradox by having the reprogrammed Terminator help the Connors destroy Cyberdine Systems. They changed the future, and when both Terminators and the remains of the first Terminator were destroyed, it was assumed that they prevented Judgment Day. The third movie that they succeeded in changing the future, but that Judgment Day was delayed, not prevented. The message of the movie is that you can change the future, but some events are inevitable.

You people are acting like these movies are amazing. All three of them are rehashes, that's what the series does. The difference is the series does it well.

T3 was a fine movie, it is just a lead up to T4-T6, that's all the point of it was.

I rather they worry about Fox canceling the amazingly great TV show than them making a fourth movie.

[Admiral Mappalazarou]

I liked T3 also. But T2 was probably the best overall.

Looking forward to seeing one set in the future

I saw T3 for the first time last spring, expecting to hate it after hearing so many complaints about it. But I actually really liked it. I thought it was a great movie, not as good as the first two (the second I think is impossible to top.....Robert Patrick was just plain terrifying), but far better than your standard action movie fare, and I really liked the ending which I was miraculously unspoiled for. So I'm glad that they're keeping the continuity, at least for the movies, even if they aren't for the series.

So in other words there is fate beyond what we make.

[Daniel Jackson]

Not quite. It was inevitable that mankind would create killer robots (Terminators) and a computer system to run them and protect all the other computer systems (Skynet). This isn't fate, it was just bound to happen, because Humanity was too naive to think that their robotic creations would turn against them. This is a classic sci-fi premise, actually. A man creates a robot, then the robot turns on the man, thinking the man is corrupt and dangerous.
