Terminator Genisys (2015)

On its own, T2 is a good movie, but it's really just the first Terminator over again.
No idea where I read it but a few weeks ago I saw a site saying the studio was allegedly in talks with The Rock to play a Terminator with Arnie playing a human role as an old codger based in the 50s or 60s and allegedly that would be where they got the model design for the Terminator from. With the origin of the Terminator being a deleted scene they don't even need to retcon that officially.
It was so completely out of nowhere I presumed (and still do) it was bullshit but damn, that would be a hell of a ride.
There's a rather decent trilogy of books set after the first two Terminator movies that explores something similar, John and Sarah encounter the human original who obviously spooks the shit out of them for a start and it carries on with them teaming up against what Skynet can throw at them.

Holy shit, that could actually work.
The Rock as T-800 Terminator actually sounds pretty awesome. Just no fucking smirk, wink, eyebrow schtick, etc. He needs to do what Arnold did and watch West World to understand how to play a merciless robot.
As for Arnold playing the old codger on whom the Terminator skin model is based off of is also pretty killer.
I doubt any of it will happen though.

Well White House Down doing rather badly in its opening week will probably put that back on the shelf again if that article has any credibility...
The plotline is ridiculous even for that kind of film though, wasn't pretty much every major city worldwide wiped out? Where are they getting the manpower and tech resources to do what it says. Maybe they used the miracle Apple computers to do it, if they can interface with alien tech with a few minutes work I guess they can do anything...

back in the day i've read an article where possible sequel idea where floating around. One of them could be described with "hey guys did you see a small scouting fleet passing around here? we are coming with our true army now!"
as a whole, sequels fucking suck. in the entire history of movies, you can probably list the number of good sequels on two hands. but as long as people are willing to spend the money, hollywood will keep investing.

i liked all the terminator movies. yes even 4 was fun to watch. i love those kinds of films. and this one will be no exception. although i have never been able to take The Rock seriously since Game Plan and The Tooth Fairy. those things can not be unseen.

I fucking love how Arnold Schwarznegger pops into random reddit fitness threads dispensing sage, elderly advice. He's done AMAs and shit so that is definitely his account.

What i loved about terminator 1 was that it was a sci-fi horror, not an action movie. I think the reboot needs to go extremely dark and bring back the horror.
I'd kill for an HBO miniseries on the future war: from the skynet-online to skynet-offline.
