Terminator Salvation

"What's happening in this movie is that Terminators are going out and they're either wiping out humans or they're capturing them and bringing them back for their skin and their hair. If you listen to the dialogue in the first movie you can hear Kyle Reese say to Sarah Connor, while they're in the car, that they're harvesting humans. So we really are trying to stick to the mythology that's been established before. The ultimate goal of Skynet is to create one of the T-800s that you see in the original movies. So we have a Transporter which is based very much on the way that cattle are transported on the freeways of the world. Those sort of very scary trucks where you can only see the eyes of the cattle as they go by. We've done the same kind of thing for humans, and ours fly. They're designed to take humans to Skynet for processing."

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.)
