5 movies later they have yet to explain how Skynet came up with "Humans? Getting TRIGGERED!!!!!! Bomb, bomb them away! " when humanity had made 0 contact with an AI before they were bombed by it so maybe it's not as rational as one would expect a machine to be.
Apparently the screenwriters of this movie have explained it like this: the Skynet of this timeline has the ability to experience multiple timelines and has observed its plans fail time after time and decided that happens because humanity's 1 super weapon : John Connor . So it devised the plan: convert John Connor to our cause and we will win!
This particular Skynet, from another place, this Skynet - not from the original two movies - can now hop between dimensions. This Skynet has been to this universe, and this universe, and this universe. That’s why he says, “I came a very long way to stop you.” He’s not from here. So he’s watched it. He’s watched it happen a bunch of different times, and each time he’s seen it there is a different result but the same result.
It is the understanding that for Skynet, finally realizing that “I cannot just wipe out the humans, I can never defeat the humans unless I have the best weapon that humans have, and that is John Connor.”

It's a multiverse guys. And that guys that attacked connor can feel in the fourth dimension. Now if only he could feel love and move the minute hand of a clock, it would have succeeded in its master plan, because it would then be able to give it to Griff, who will ski it to the lake, where Ike has set up camp. And Bob Rooney scuba dives it into the lake to see which fish are hungriest, telling officer Dan so he in turn can smoke signal the information back to John Connor, so he can ice fish with utmost confidence.

@LeoNatan I see you are really trying to defend it
That movie was an okay-ish entertainment. Not as terrible for me as people made it. What irritated me was beyond plot holes.
It was the use of standard movie tropes like:
- "unfunny guy finally cracks a joke".
- "guy confeses his love and the hot girl hears it, but he is unaware of her reactions (locker room)"
- shadow boobs
- overuse of dramatic music
- "bad guys" soundtrack when they are getting their mugshots, wtf?! when did this movie transform into a light hearted comedy?
- two guys which don't like each other grow fond as the movie progresses
- "you have to believe me", when Kyle instead of trying to explain throws some vague bullshit at cops.
- magazine loading scene, two alpha males competing
- standard, run-off-the-mill post-credit scene where it suggest an inevitable sequel
I'm really surprised Khaleesi didn't fuck Kyle with romantic candles in the background.
Another tropish thingy was the "straight line" bullshit thing they were doing with the hand with its "deep" meaning that can convince some special other to believe in you.

While Terminator: Genisys did alright in China with $112.8M, sources have told Deadline that the film needed to clear $150M there before any quick movements were made on advancing with a sequel.
Good!

Almost $113M was from China, where the profit for the US studio is about of half value (that is: 25% of the BO) of what it would have been from anywhere else in the world (that is: 50% of the BO).
One caveat is that studios get a smaller percentage of ticket sales from Chinese exhibitors — they typically split receipts with U.S. theater owners but Chinese chains only surrender about 25% of revenues.
China allows 34 foreign films into the country each year under revenue-sharing agreements, and studios collect only 25% of box-office revenues on those titles.
In other words that $350M translated in a non artificially inflated number is actually (350-113) + 113/2 = ~$194M
+ ~$90M in US
------------------
$284M. On a $155M production budget with at least another $50-100M spent on P&A.
Flop for sure.

A flop is something that does not return an investment. This one already broken even, at least, and will bring more from home video.
Actually usually that is called a bomb. Flop is the soft version of it.

Ancient write up about T3 & 4 by one of the writers. And he is brutal about everything
Quote:
The "development process" involved the usual dumbing and watering down, cutting for budget, gutting character moments, turning anything shaded into black and white. We were told to throw back in elements from the script we were first handed, such as "She'll be back" and stupid sunglasses. We refused to write in a Chili's endorsement, though we suggested "I'll be baby-back, baby-back, baby-back ribs." Another writer came in at the last minute and threw in a few more clunky lines and cringe-worthy moments. The shoot had some near-disasters, including a major part recast after a week of filming, and a budget shortfall that required a cash loan from Schwarzenegger. Mostow actually shot plates for a time bubble arriving in the fallout shelter with yet another Arnold to avert Judgment Day at the last second, just in case focus groups demanded it.
Quote:
A friend who worked at "The Tonight Show" invited me and Mike on the night Arnold appeared to promote the film. "My writuhs!"
Quote:
We turned in our last draft in September, 2005, confident no one would ever make the movie. No Arnold, gigantic budget, risky story-- at least it had been fun to write. I followed in the trades as MGM got involved and detached, lawsuits threatened, some new company named Halcyon obtained the rights. Then, during the Writers' Guild strike in late 2007, McG and Christian Bale got attached. We learned that one of the producers was planning to call us in for a rewrite meeting with McG the moment the strike was over. I made myself watch the second "Charlie's Angels" and "We are Marshall." Uh-oh.
When the strike did end in March 2008, this meeting was scheduled, cancelled and rescheduled, then cancelled again. I could read the writing on the wall, and let one of the producers know that I knew we were toast. He denied this vigorously. In a few days I read in Variety that Paul Haggis was hired to rewrite "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins," perhaps the most retarded movie title I'd ever heard. I never found out who was responsible for that.
Mike Ferris went to Comic-Con in the summer of 2008 and saw McG stand up on stage to introduce "the writer," now Jonathan Nolan from "Batman." Rodman Flender, who'd attended the convention with Mike, turned to him and said, "Didn't you do this?" Nope, McG made no mention of us (or the parade of other A-list writers hired in our wake).
Quote:
Mike and I were at last invited to see a rough cut on the Warners lot in March, 2009, a courtesy required by the WGA's Minimum Basic Agreement. "Terminator Salvation" felt like an interminable trailer. It sure had action, but the characters were left on the cutting-room floor. McG got lucky casting Sam Worthington as Marcus (on James Cameron's advice), he was the best thing in the movie, but his story was given too little screen time. And, as we'd discovered in the writing, the John Connor character was a bore, despite the efforts of some of the highest-paid writers in Hollywood. Bale says "I'll be back" in an odd, irrelevant context. Digital Arnold was cute, otherwise the third act was a half-assed pastiche of the first three films-- freezing, melting, impaling, exploding batteries. Helena Bonham-Carter in the role of Skynet was an embarrassment.

I wrote this movie it was shit, here let me slag it off and explain why all the bad points were someone else's fault

Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!
So it's safe to say his career ended after that blog post? He isn't creditd for anything after that post
You weren't kidding. I just checked and the last movie he was credited in was Surrogates which was released the same year as T4 (2009).

Surrogates was ok. Sure it's not Oscar material, but it was entertaining

Jesus. What is the saddest thing about genisys? Even the fucking homeless dude that Reese steals the shitted-all-over pants from tells his line MILES better in T1 than in genisys. what the fuck inc.
So according to the writers in this timeline the T-1000 is sent to kill Sarah in 1973 and succeeds to off her parents but luckily T-Pops saves her and from that day and for 11 years until 1984 the T-1000 tries to kill her but he doesn't succeed or manages to get himself killed.
I guess the Korean model T-1000 is just awfully inefficient and maybe lazy compared to T-Patrick and decides to spent a decade doing.. idk what people in the 70s and 80s were doing. Disco maybe?
Also T-Pops can build a time machine on his own but T-JC made by T-Skynet itself does not know how to And the answer of the writers: "whoever sent T-Pops in the past also told him how to!"

This one was by far, IMO, the worse fucking movie of the series. I found more depth in the tranny porn I accidentally clicked on the other day. I didn't feel as bad finishing that movie as I did by the end of this crap.

So, you accidentally clicked on tranny porn and still finished? Did you find a vid with that redhead?
I liked it more than T3. T4 was something else so I wouldn't compare it with that one.
