Just do a Terminator movie that takes place entirely in the future and without time travel bullshit.

Literally Aliens but with robots. Have humans wear exosuits to try and beat the robots because space marines vs robot horde would sell.

So make Terminator Salvation 2.
 
They should have just made a Terminator Salvation that didn't suck.

It was so stupid how they seemingly went out of their way with Salvation to make a Future War movie that wasn't what you wanted to see.

Rather than dark, eerie nighttime scenes, almost the whole movie was in the daytime, it was just a really ugly and unappealing looking movie, like a lot of movies were around that time.

And giving any sort of a human face to Skynet was a dumb, dumb idea, not to mention how idiotic the whole twist of them having some sort of mind control chip in that guy's head, then he just reaches back and pulls it out and now he's all "I'm better now!"?

It was just a dumb, ugly looking, kind of boring movie from what I remember.
 
I'm so looking forward to seeing the Joker in theaters again instead of Dark Fate. Hopefully the massive flop of the latter will finally convince Hollywood to stop skull fucking the franchise's rotting corpse already so I can go back to pretending it stopped with Judgement Day.

You know a movie is complete horseshit when a killing machine as supposedly ruthless and efficient as the terminator just tosses John Connor around to give him time to retaliate instead of just putting its metal arm through his head. I liked the premise of a Terminator movie taking completely place in the future, but the movie was a complete snore fest save for that giant robot collecting people and the somewhat decent final action set piece. At least Rise of The Machines is kind of entertaining if you look at it as a parody.

Rise of The Machines also at least looks really good, Salvation typifies what was a trend in the late 2000s, early 2010s of a lot of blockbuster movies that just looked kind of ugly, I think they were going for a stripped down "realistic" approach but it just looked like shit.

That is something that has at least improved somewhat in recent years, it reminds me of how fucking awful photoshop jobs so many movies posters were also in the late 2000s, early 2010s, another thing that has thankfully improved.

Yeah, Arnie's CGi head hanging on his back by a cable looks kinda bad in retrospect, but scenes like the T-X smashing him though multiple buildings using a crane truck still holds up really well.
 
I also just mean the generals colors, cinematography of the film.
Oh yeah, Salvation could've definitely used some better color correcting to make it visually more appealing. I know the future's supposed to be bleak and dystopian, but even the future scenes in T2 had that cool blue tone to them that had made it really striking. Salvation on the other hand looks needlessly desaturated and muddy.
 
In case anyone's wondering if I'm retarded, yes, yes I am.

Outside of another Future War one, the only other Terminator film I'd probably be interested in is one that follows the development and takeover of Skynet. Something along the lines of Colossus: The Forbin Project.
 
I'm just amazed we never got to a point where the story became about preserving the causality loop of the original film.

Okay, I still say there should have been no sequels after T2, but if there had to be, then we should have eventually gotten a film set in the Future War where John Connor has to preserve the events of the 1st film by giving Kyle the picture of his mom, sending him back, reprogramming the T-800 to send back, and making sure the events of T1 and T2 take place as they should, with some hitches in the road (maybe Kyle finds out he's John's dad or something, I don't know).

The fact that it is 2019, Terminator sequels are still being made, and they are STILL about time traveling robots and a protector trying to safeguard future Jesus is just asinine.
 
Nah, I mean something that really focuses on it.

Colossus is probably the only thriller movie based on a software failure. Maybe 2001 as well. It's like a slow motion train wreck where you realize that Colossus and Guardian are doing exactly what they were designed to do.

I'd love to see a film like that about Skynet. But it seems unlikely that Hollywood is up to it any more.

Salvation was setting this up.
