Terminator VI

The effects were good but the movie stunk. Just like the force awakens the first frame of this movie invalidates what came before. Luke Skywalker was cast aside and everything he fought for in the first films was undone. Why do all this? What is the point of it? Man I hope they don't do this with Picard. I want the hero I grew up with intact battle worn but intact.
The show starts off with an old retired Picard living alone with his dog after leaving Starfleet due to some disastrous mission, so it looks like he'll be starting off not that far from where Luke was at the beginning of TLJ. And I hate to break it to you, but one of the main driving forces in Picard is going to be a young woman named Dahj, played by an actress named Isa Briones.
 
using the same-old alternate-timeline to regurgitate the same old movie plot points again and again and forevermore?


I've said it before, but I feel like the franchise is stuck in a Groundhog Day scenario. It's a little tiring at this point, and I really wish they'd move forward and explore something else in the franchise. I mean, I thought the whole point of a franchise was to explore different stories in the same world. :shrug:I think we get it by this point, that Judgement Day is an important point in the franchise's history, but it seriously can't be the only important one.

How can the quality of a film no one has seen yet influence the numbers of people who go see it? Is there not a logical flaw in there?

Well, there are movie festivals where movies are often shown ahead of schedule, before properly moving on to the standard box office. Word of how well movies do at these festivals often fuel future ratings, and it's often how they manage to get those quotes out on posters and such. One example: I've seen a Vietnam War movie at my local festival called The Last Full Measure which was a very good movie. But when I went back to see if I could find a trailer, there wasn't one yet, as apparently the movie comes out in theatres in January. So, when it comes out then, I'll technically be able to say I've seen it before it comes out.

The Terminator was male. Geez. Man it is tanking hard today. Most writers are starting to question that the woke movement in movies might be going a little to far. I really am enjoying this. It's so funny.
How many writers do you actually know? Clearly in time you will see movies and shows change with time because because you always see change as issues change but it doesn't mean things change back. Diversity is mainstream which means new perspectives. Wokeness as you say will proably go away at some point but not the ideas that people like. Hippies went away but things like civil rights and feminism didn't. The yuppies also vanished but left behind the idea of corporate greed is good. Jason

We didn't go away.

What comments came from pre screenings for TDF?
 
I doubt very much that the movie's "woke"ness had anything to do with the box office, and that it is purely down to the mainstream movie goers simply not being interested. I think there have just been to many disappointing movies at this point, and apparently the good or at least decent word of mouth for this one simply isn't enough to counteract that.

So you have no intention of actually discussing the movie. and you're just here to spike the football over its box office and derail the thread with your SJW complaints to try and get a rise out of people for the lulz? That's pretty much the textbook definition of trolling.

Oh, I don't know. I was speaking in general. I'm just saying that it's possible it's happened, plus it's been shown in the UK first, right? Sometimes when movies aren't released at the same time, comments from earlier releases will influence later ones.

Yeah it's the wokeness. Everyone knew it from the first previews and figured out John Connors Fate. Thankfully they can't make a sequel and the open ending will never ever be finished. Though Hollywood is liberal when it comes to media perception it's a business and all they really care about is the bottom dollar. A flop of this magnitude will change course.

Absurd on every conceivable level.
