Terminator Salvation

"Again this was very influenced by the original design of the Terminator. The spine of it is really taken from the spine of a Terminator and the struts are taken from a Terminator leg. We started with a Ducati, because Ducati gave us some bikes, and then we just built on top of them. So what we really wanted to communicate here is the idea that everything is made at the same factory -- the same machines are building the Moto-Terminator as are building all the other Terminators. We have a very cool chase scene where two of these Moto-Terminators are shot out of a Harvester and have this spectacular cat and mouse chase."

Let's think of "Angels and Demons" as a pit stop from "Star Trek" to "Terminator".

I kinda wish they hadn't said so much about Marcus.

I think its really cool how they are going for as much realism as possible, and they aren't relying just on CGI but using real props too.

Yeah I think it would've been cool if they never said anything about Marcus, so people could go to the theater and see it and be shocked without knowing before hand. But, that opportunity has passed.

I agree about saying a lot about marcus, but if you didn't want spoilers, why are you reading things like this? Ha! I'm just kidding, it is kind of annoying. Even the trailer gives you a pretty good idea what Marcus is. Bummer. I still have no idea what the movie is gonna be like, but I'm liking everything I see/hear so far. Even the guy who was the badass commander in Starship Troopers is in this.

I think it is SO cool they built as much as possible. CGI is one of the worst things that has happened to movie making despite what it can do for film, simply because it is overused or used inadequately a LOT of the time. CGI should be used only when its a necessity, and thats what the people on terminator salvation seem to be doing. rock on.

star trek used CGI really well too, that movie has a great a look about it, and the CGI and real stuff fits seamlessly. Awesome.

It's very comforting to know that at the very least this film will get the special effects right.

i was excited about this, even after getting sensory raped by T3 then I seen the advert and noticed its a 12A!! Obviously studios wan't as much money for their investment as possible but seriously a terminator movie an 8 year old can go see doesn't sound like a proper terminator movie to me.

(can someone PM me if thhey know how I can change my username, Graham R sucks but I am worried I am stuck with it now as I can't seem to find an option in settings, thanks.)
