It looks good, but something about it is giving me uncanny valley vibes.
 
i have to ask. why is the terminator looking angry?

people who made this movie need to rewatch the first two movies.

Because the other T-101 came to ruin the plan.

The eyes and mouth are the trickiest to get right, probably the mouth. People can mimick skin now a day pretty dead on, but accurate lyp sinc and expression are still not just there. In Tron when Brides talked, you could see it more clearly how something was never totally right.

In a couple of years they will probably fool us, and when they can do a perfect young version of an actor, all hell will break loose
 
it looks like 80% of the budget went into young Arnold. to bad. i would rather have him in the shadows and use the whole money on other scenes.
They should have spent that money on a young Kyle for the entire film.

I have a feeling by 2030 they're going to milk the nostalgia effect for all it's worth. "Come see the NEW movie starring James Dean and Audrey Hepburn!!", and it's different voice actors playing them.

Considering the percentage of CGI in live action movies anymore, they might as well just make fully animated films and create actors from scratch. No film sets, no wardrobe, no make-up, just everything computer-generated like the Final Fantasy movie. Hell, no voice actors... just computer generated voices that mimic human speech.

We as a society have such easy access to make low-budget movies with our freaking cell phones, live action movies will probably just be a thing of the past, because literally anyone will be able to make them. Live action will bring nothing new to the table because there will be 5 million of them released every year on YouTube or whatever.

Considering celeb culture, and how it seems to become more and more prominent, I don't think that will ever truly happen.

I dread that day honestly, but i dont see this tech stopping anytime soon. I hope we dont remove the human experience from the artistic process, but something like a young Harrison ford making 50 Indy movies will become a reality.

It would be ironic that could save the industry from becoming so artificial. But studios don't like dealing with celebrities BS as well, so who knows, it could go either way

The animation in Spielberg's Tintin movie was pretty damn life-like.

Off-topic rant:

I think reality TV will be the same. You're talking about Kim Kardashian and Caitlyn Jenner and Honey Boo Boo and Chaz Bono... they have zero place in the movie industry. Same with presidents and governors and royalty.

If you're talking about Jennifer Aniston and "everything she went through", that's stuff she brought on herself in the media, honestly. I have no sympathy for celebrities in the tabloids. If Robert Pattinson or Justin Bieber are in an issue of Ok! Magazine it's because they want to be. Back in 2003 when Ben Affleck and J-Lo were dating, that was welcomed attention on their part. He co-starred in her music video for god sakes.

I don't accept the theory that celebrities are so helpless to paparazzi, when there are so many others off the radar, you wouldn't believe that there are probably situations happening in their lives juicier than anything in the HISTORY of National Enquirer. There's nothing happening this month or this year with Christian Bale or Russell Crowe, or Ryan Gosling, or Tom Hanks, or freakin' Tim Robbins or James Woods, and where's Uma Thurman? Where's Julia Roberts? They don't want to be in these magazines, so they're not. Unless something like the Bill Cosby situation blows up out of nowhere, a lot of celebrities don't want to be a part of it, so the paparazzi don't want to be a part of it either.

People like Kardashian, Jenner, the dance moms, the real housewives... their purpose and way of making a living is to be celebrities. They must be celebrities by being in tabloids, and they must be in tabloids in order to be celebrities. There's no medium there. Their TV shows are just tools to keep the tabloids and juicy gossip sites coming back next week.

Like the whole Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise thing... I truly believe they don't need to be a part of any of that stuff if there was a small part of them that didn't want to be. You're sick of the tabloids? Don't go on Oprah. You're sick of paparazzi? Don't be on the cover of People explaining why you left Tom because you were trying to get your daughter away from Scientology and you want her out of the spotlight. If you want her out of the spotlight, don't be on the cover of People.
 
The Cameron on Genisys video is .... great marketing? I'm confused because this is actually making the film look good for the first time ever. I don't buy it, but it looks infinitely better than any of the previous material suggested, and might actually be a good time. Fair play.
 
Eh, I know what Gale Anne Hurd thinks of it. Which isn't hard to assume: pretty horrible.
 
You can't really fail with that music though. No matter what version it is, I still get chills.
 
I liked Elfman's Salvation theme but I would have preferred a bit more of the classic theme than DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN.
 
As I said, I could see him doing it as a favor to Arnold but it's not impossible that he actually enjoyed the movie. Why would he do a hype video for the last two if he wasn't asked to? Especially Salvation, when Arnold wasn't involved.

Wow! Way to ruin the lighting of the original.
 
I've always been a Brad Fiedel guy. T2 score was amazing.
 
I like James Cameron a lot, and he's one of my favorite directors. I feel like he wouldn't take a quick buck to soullessly complement this movie. The guy is ****ing rich, he doesn't need anymore money. Maybe just maybe the movie is pretty good despite terrible CGI. I can totally deal with that. Hell, I really like Clarke as Sarah. The new theme song sounds wicked as well.
 
You guys talk about Emilia blinking but at least that's a human reaction, Arnold has forgot how to play a machine. When Connor pushes him through a wall, he braces for impact, in the Cameron video, when he attacks the T-3000 and young Arnold, he looks like he's trying to put power into the hits.
