as for as i know Arnold is going to be in T5 unless something happens and he will not be... Personally I hope he is in a few scenes and nothing too big

maybe we'll see him get killed by SkyNet after no longer needing to scan his body or whatever

and, i'd like to see the T-900 series, they havn't made any appearances seeing as they decided to send back a T-1000

Just saw this, it was ok a good 7/10.

It falls behind 2, 1 and 3.

The writers on this one was just meh and so was the acting.

LOL check this out..

Except Batman Begins was actually critically acclaimed everywhere despite only modest financial success. That's clear enough signal to go ahead and make a sequel.

I'm sure they'll make a T5, but right now all I hear are flat trumpet sounds with T4.

Batman Begins was acclaimed, cost about $140 million, grossed $200 million in North America ( and the same amount worldwide.)

Terminator Salvation is derided by critics, cost about $200 million, didn't even open at number one (and opened at much less than Wolverine, Star Trek, Night of The Museum 2 & Up), and dropped 65%-70% in it's second week. It's on pace to gross less than $130 million in North America.

The numbers can't be any more stark than that. After the last film did just OK, this one doing even less means NO MORE SERIES. As we know it.
It's not unlike what happened to the Alien series after 3 & 4 - they waited several years, then went with the Alien vs. Predator series.
Something is going to change - not a versus series (Alien & Predator are both owned by Fox), but a reboot. Like I've been saying.

well a few things are ret-conned but seeing as to how the whole timeline changed after the events of T2, pretty much anything goes

stuff that changed are:

-John Connor was never put in the SkyNet concentration camps
-Kyle apparently never got a bar code tattoo
-T-800's were made a lot earlier
-and some other stuff, i guess

and the thing most people were confused about is why SkyNet would want to kill John and Kyle even though they are nothing special right now, i have a theory stated in my earlier post

well all of that obvisouly comes back to this quote

"The future's not set. There's no fate but what we make for ourselves."

Maybe skynet from another timeline is working with the skynet in the timeline from the movies.

i try not to think about what the timeline of Terminator

sure the future's not set, but apparently Judgment day is inevitable

and who would've been John's father if Reese didn't go back in time?

and would Sarah have taught John all that stuff if it wasn't for Reese?

see what i mean? "it messes with your head"

Well, quite honestly, as much as I loved T2...it kind of mucked up the whole time travel thing. It would be a nice predestination paradox if the future was already written and you couldn't change it.

I don't see how it mucked up the time travel thing. Its happens alot with other series "one characters says this happen in his future but something else happens instead" i can name another one that happens like that DBZ.

also, Back to the Future

what we see now is an alternate future from the one described by Reese in T1, and this Reese will tell Sarah a different story when he goes back, which will quite possibly create yet another alternate future...

I understand what you're trying to say, but that...isn't anywhere close to the point I was trying to make. Just because it happens in "other series," doesn't mean it had to happen in Terminator. If Judgement day happened, then it happened. By insisting that it could have been changed, rather than just insinuating as they did in the first, is how they mucked it up; if they didn't do that, perhaps just having the characters believing that they could change it but in the end they actually couldn't, then they wouldn't have mucked it up. Plus, me saying they mucked it up isn't a bad thing, I'm just saying, the root of everyone's problems with time travel in the Terminator series stems from T2 not the original Terminator. In the original Terminator, its a predestination paradox, simple as that: Kyle Reese was always John Connor's father, Skynet always created their arch enemy in John Connor, it always happened that way. By saying that the future can be changed in T2, and that theoretically Sarah could have been killed in Terminatior, they basically created alternate time-lines where perhaps John Connor had a different father, where Skynet didn't beget itself.

just saw terminator 4 great Fu??ING movie i dont give a flying FU?K what critics say it was far better then that star trek movie that had me napping half way through it.terminator 4 much better then the third terminator movie. it makes sense it ties all the other three films together no FU?CKING confusion there.

pretty sure there will be a couple more terminator movies since they only destroyed a small part of skynet they have the rest to destroy around the globe.

i actually liked the Star Trek movie, then again i'm not a fan of the original 😄

and yeah, i don't know why critics say it's so bad

It dropped over 50% again this week at the box office. I don't know anyone personally who likes the film; at best I've heard "It's OK...at worst "One of the worst films I've seen."

Never mind what critics say; if the public doesn't like it, you're dead.

what's not to like?
