Terminator VI

Reviews are different from Twitter reactions to early screenings. In most cases, such reactions do seem to avoid saying anything negative, so one can read between the lines a bit. That said, while I can't say the same for the other reviewers quoted there, I've been reading IGN's Jim Vejvoda for a long time, and trust him to be pretty honest in this circumstance. He says the movie succeeds creatively, and is better than 3-5, but he doesn't claim it's on the level of T1/2. That part will likely come in his full review.
James Cameron has said that they worked out a plot for three movies while they were developing Dark Fate. It sounds like if they make it to the third one it could be the end of the franchise. He says that they have been "kicking the can down the road" when it comes to the conflict between humans and AI, but you can only do that so many times before you need to hit a resolution, and the third movie, if it happens, would resolve that conflict.
Yes. Salvation, too.
Io9's Jill Pantozzi has posted her full review, and she seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. She did have a few issues, but said that it is finally the followup that the first two deserve. Her main issues were the explanation for why Terminators are still around, and some iffy special effects.
Yeah, these days, every film is the first of a trilogy it earns well.
IGN has posted their review, they gave it an 8/10 and said that it "deftly builds upon what worked in the first two James Cameron-helmed entities while bringing in a new host of characters and circumstances to challenge the course of humankind".
It's really starting to look like this might actually be good.
I'm curious why the new Terminator is Rev-9, instead of T-900 or T-9000 or something like that.

Just saw it this evening.
Some things I liked, some I didn't. One I just really didn't like. One was pretty silly and felt very hard to swallow.
It's alright... maybe a bit better than Genysis... a bit
All IMO of course, maybe others will love it. Can't say I'd be that bothered about whether it gets a sequel/trilogy though.

Not that much longer. Comes out next Friday here.
Wait. Only a bit better than Genysis? Oh. No. That shouldn't be a hard bar to cross.
Better or worse than T3?
I'm one of the few who like Terminator Genisys, but the sequels after Judgment Day did start to get a little goofy with the Terminator model numbers. The T-1000 from the T-800 actually sounded like a badass upgrade. T-X was kind of a goofy designation, also didn't really make sense as you'd think a T-1000/T-800 hybrid would be called a T-1800. Genisys really outdid it with the T-3000 (robot zombie John Connor) and T-5000 (living embodiment of Skynet). Rev-9 actually sounds pretty cool compared to if they'd just made it the T-6000 or T-10000.
Also, glad to hear the movie is getting good reviews. I'm pretty stoked to see it
There is no T800 in the TX. The endo is totally different.
Few of you talking about this Rev-9 thing and other stuff. Just to say from someone who's seen the film they are explained and certain things revolve around the plot/backstory/futurestory, so just beware of spoilers before you see it. As they'll probably all be out there now.
Well, maybe not a T-800 hybrid. Could possibly have been a 700 or 900 endoskeleton in there. Either way, a T-1700 or T-1900 makes more sense than a T-X designation.
