See here is the problem with this new Terminator - the T-1000 seems like the ultimate weapon. yes I know this terminator can somehow
But whats the point..if your point is to kill a man, then the ability to shape shift seems much more useful.

First, it doesn't have the "look" of the previous films(obviously because Cameron isn't directing).
Second, The "T-X" does not appear as deadly as the T-1000.
There really isn't anything groundbreaking about Arnie's new nemesis. I mean....come on.... Cameron gave us a Liquid Metal Terminator.
Also, based on the trailer, the effects look "Too CGI"..almost comparable to those seen on WB's Smallville.

Well....its just a trailer, but with the lack of Cameron and Hamilton (and Brad Fiedel) I expected the worst.
But this trailer really has me jazzed to see the movie. Cameron just knows how to make action work, I wasn't sure if Mostow would "get" it, but from the few set pieces they showed in the trailer he may in fact know how to do it on this much larger level than he's worked before.
I still think the TX is a bad idea for a villian, but the jumping bit was at least somewhat cool.

I'm not surprised Blaster didn't find the old thread. A search on "Terminator" would have turned up nothing since the abbreviation "T3" (which is unsearchable) was used instead.

"She'll be back"
Geeze - you'd think after 15+ years they'd be able to come up with new dialogue.
This movie offends me like Alien 3 offends me. This attitude of "You don't like what's come before, ignore it" hogwash bugs the hell out of me. The end of T2 - the whole point of the god damned movie - was to prevent the creation of Cyberdine. They did that - they liquefied the T1K and Ah-nold. The only bits left to work from was the arm. Oh yeah - there's a whole lot of CPU power in the left arm.
Gimme a break.
If you're going to write an ending to the series, then have some balls and stick to it. If not, then don't paint yourself into the corner like that. Just don't suck the drama out of the piece by negating everything that happened.
Thanks, but no thanks. I'll give it a miss.

I dunno, T2 was such an amazing movie (especially for a sequel!) I'm not sure this one can do the series justice, but I guess we'll have to wait and see... I really feel they missed the boat by not having two Arnies though... One good and one bad, that would have made the ultimate battle royale for this (last?) installment.

It looked more like her arm turned into some kind of gun to me.

Oh hell yeah, that would have been the shiznit!

Without Cameron there is NO Terminator!..
It was HIS vision we saw on screen!..The whole idea of the cyborg came to him in a dream
No offense to Barstow but this movie is a poor excuse for a sequel!

The trailer of course looks pretty good, but without Cameron & Hamilton's involvement, I won't expect much. Come on, T2 is quite possibly one of the best modern science fiction/action pictures ever made. And it was a sequel, for crying out loud. I, for one, think the studios and Arnold should have left the legacy alone.

Why the Hell does John Connor keep getting older?
Just keep gong back to 1984 over and over and over again till you get it right.
Even better: go to 1900, where NOTHING would be a match for the technology and kill off his great-grandma.

I dont like it. The whole premise just seems wrong. Why does Cyberdyne keep sending Terminators back to the past? You'd think after 2 crushing defeats it'd figure out that didn't work. And Where is Linda Hamilton? And where is the T-1000? That was the uber-terminator. It seemed a lot more capable than a cute girl with a gun for an arm.
Just set the entire movie in the future and show us the action that sent Reese back the first time. Boom, perfect movie.
But this T3....I have doubts.

I think it looks good. I'm not expecting something to blow away the first too, it just looks like another chapter in the Terminator story.. and that's not always a bad thing

I'm sorry, but this looks more like a cheap imitation of the Terminator movies we have seen rather than something of Cameron's caliber.
The "She'll be back" line had me
; looks like we're getting into self parody.
Also, will the machines doing battle be in a flashback or part of the actual storyline this time around? Doubt it matters as I am sure this will get a PG-13 rating for maximum gross, which I see as being about $150 million, a disappointment for one that cost so much.

So, Basil, if I travel back to 1969 and I was frozen in 1967, I could go look
at my frozen self. But, if I'm still frozen in 1967, how could I have been
unthawed in the 90's and traveled back to the Sixties?
Oh, no, I've gone cross-eyed.
I suggest you don't worry about those things and just enjoy yourself.

I was excited for the third, but after the trailer, I have serious doubts.
