| Posted by: MovieBuff07 at August 22, 2008, 12:30 pm | | Topic: Terminator Salvation Trailer Forum: JoBlo | | I'm gradually getting more and more pumped for this film, as of right now it's my most anticipated of 2009. Just gave T3 another viewing last night...it's not as bad as most people say and think...its just not nearly as good as the first 2 done by Cameron (if that makes any sense). I've always wanted to see more of the future in The Terminator franchise, as long as they stay true to that gritty feeling. | | Static Link |

First of all, STAFFmember Maurice got the chance to see just how the T-600 unit would look like WITH its rubber skin. These were not the final shots which will appear in the movie, but at least he got a real good idea of how it will look. Unfortunately, we can't post the pics... but we CAN give a description. The T-600 with its rubber skin had a bold head, thus no hair at all. It also did not have any eyes, except for the red Terminator eyes visible as it fires a mini-gun. The head was damaged, parts of the rubber skin were gone and showed the mechnical skeleton underneath. Also, this machine is huge!!! I have really no idea how Skynet could think it would fit for infiltration purposes, but the T-600 is enormous. The hands were also damaged, showing some mechanical fingers. STAFFmember Maurice has the feeling we'll see the T-600 in a full skin mode, after which we'll see it lose major par... | | Read Entire Entry |

Im just not a bandwagon person, I like the movie, sue me. Look, I miss "Fuck you, Asshole" as much as the next fan, but T3 is a fun action film. Like I said before, Once I heard Cameron was having no part in this, my expectations dropped. Looking back, T2 needs some T3 "Terminator" action. The T-1000 and Arnies 101 fights were kind of tame. Seeing Arnold carry a casket and firing a machine gun, Badass. Arnold holding onto that Boom and smashing into everything, Awesome. Seeing those machines boot up and blow everything to shit, seemed like a Terminator movie to me!

The Terminator that attacked the base wasn't an earlier machine, it was a T-800..just a different model number (Perhaps Model 102 or 103).

I'd say if Terminator: Salvation is a blockbuster hit, then you can consider Bale to be a A-list actor that will bring in the crowds. (By saying A-list, I mean a bankable actor that people will go to the theatre specifically for him. Such as Will Smith and Tom Cruise) I thought Bale already is an A-list actor after Batman Begins and The Prestige. Personally, I liked him already since Empire of the Sun. | | Static Link |

It's not much to see, but from what I can tell they are going for a futuristic gritty look. I want more of this...

I don't remember the movie at all though, haven't seen it since then. Anyway, I was definately on here ripping this movie to pieces and telling Bale to save himself, but it actually looks pretty bad ass.
