Going to this tonight. I am sure it will be everything I expect of it...
Robots age?
I thought it looked interesting. I’ll wait till video, though.
My understanding is the studios have already green-lit two more as this was to be a new trilogy.
The Terminator (1984) and T2 were canon. All else is rubbish.

Saw the trailer today. They managed to squeeze in I’ll be back, and Come with me if you want to live.
I’m no fan of Cameron. But in T2 he very effectively closed the time loop leaving no way to continue the series. There would have been no skynet and thus no war. End of series.
Once it decided to start being its own movie it comes together pretty well. Conceptually it borrows pretty heavily from the TV show and from the JMS Final Battle comics, which is pretty cool. In the beginning, when they’re “re-doing” the first movie there’s a lot of fan service callback gags referring to the first two movie. And while I do love me some fan service it’s just too much. There’s a good 20 minute stretch where it feels like every other line is a tagger. Then finally they jump to the future and get to start doing their own movie, and it’s a pretty solid piece of Terminator. A new T evolution, some good action, decent consequences, and ending with the false hope we’ve all grown so fond of in a Terminator movie.
I saw it in 3D yesterday and enjoyed it. The timeline thing was off and I can’t “grok” it. However, you have to remember this is only the first third of the story unfolding.
Also, don’t miss the scene after the end credits role.
All I need to know about this movie is what I read in Christianity Today movie review that people refer to Arnold/robot ad “Pops”. Nuff said.
