Terminator Salvation International Trailer

[TremblingBluStar]

I can't wait to see how this film once again messed up The Terminator franchise time line!

I'm in a "we'll see" mood for this film. The war is a powerful and tension-building setting in the Terminator films when seen in flashbacks. Having an entire film set in this time period kind of ruins the whole point.

I don't think so. This is the period a lot of fans waited an expansion on for 25 years, and it is paying off finally.

I agree.

But its faces the same hurdle as "The Clone Wars" and "The Founding of the Federation". Events so vaguely defined that fans can imagine the details to be whatever they want. Which was the original appeal. The actual developing of those events is bound to disappoint.

Sorry! I was totally confused just there because I thought you were agreeing with your own post since you and StarTrek1701 have the same avatar at the moment of writing. I'm quite tired so it took me a while to figure that out .

The more I see of this movie, the more interested I become. I'm not confident about everything I'm seeing, but the majority of it looks good or interesting to me.

First of all, this is not a personal dig at you, but just a general comment on this type of response about upcoming movies from multiple people.

OK, I'm just wondering what some of you people (what do you mean, you people? ) need in a movie to be 100% totally satisfied?

I mean you watch a 30 second teaser trailer, or a 2.5 minute theatrical trailer and from that you feel that you can honestly and objectively judge a movie by that. And oh, let's not forget those who will bash a movie when a movie is just announced without even seeing a trailer.

It's like you all have some clairvoyance or something that you can automatically channel a complete movie by just hearing about it or seeing a short clip from it.

Of course that can work the other way too. A movie can get loads of praise and hype from a trailer, and then in the end totally suck, but when it comes to this Terminator: Salvation trailer, I gotta say, that this new Terminator Trilogy, if done similarily to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, could be our new movie trilogy to look forward to for the next 5-6 years. Instead of waiting nearly a decade between movies, we'll have a series of what looks to be epic films in a short period of time.

Looks like we're going to have something cross between Mad Max and classic Terminator Future War stuff.

And now that film making has reached its peak with CG effects, I believe now is the time that we can finally get a good future war trilogy at a fraction of the cost it'd take to do this the old fashioned way.

You'll never know whether you actually like a movie or not before you see it yourself. So before that ALL YOU HAVE is trailers, pictures, word of mouth, etc.

What most people are doing, based on these things is just making an educated guess. Educated in the sense that most people here on this board, at least, will already have seen lots of movies and the promo preceding them.

Before you've actually seen the movie, nothing's a safe bet. However, have you never seen a trailer for a movie and you simply KNEW (or felt you knew) that you'd just seen all the best parts and when you saw the movie later it turned out you had? You get a feeling for these things.

Again, you'll never actually know until you see the movie. But for me, at least, part of the fun is building anticipation. That's why I like seeing a trailer like the T4 one, enjoying it and imagining what the movie may be like. And until there's something that completely turns me off that means I get some enjoyment out of it before I've even seen it.
