Terminator: Salvation Teaser Trailer

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37486

Nothing special, but once the theme kicked in I got chills. I can't wait to see a trailer with more/better footage.

As long as it's better than the third one! Which, like someone already mentioned, it does look better.

And Christian Bale is in it. While I wasn't too fond of him when he spoke as Batman, he's still a great actor, and it will be great to see him in a war type scenario. And he's still nice to look at! Which will be another bonus.

Not sure what to make of it yet. Looks more like they're making it a horror film, than a Terminator film. But it'll be great to see a film concentrating on the war against skynet. Those were the best parts of the Terminator movies.

I am a huge terminator fan, on par with TMNT. I didn't really like the 3rd one. This one looks pretty bad ass!! And Bale is AMAZING!!

The biggest problem I can foresee in this one is that the writers are the same as number 3.... not great news but I am hopeing that Bale having made the call to act in this movie would only have done so if it was a good script. That and they might go PG13... which would suck as well.

I think It has the potential to go one of two ways, bring new life to the series like Batman begines did or or end up like AVP a PG13 crap out of two great R rated movie lines.

Either way I can't wait to see the future war at last. It would be way better though if James Cameron was on board.

I'd say the biggest problem this movie has isn't the writers, but the director.

Bale is a good choice. How many actors does that make that have portrayed John? 4? 5?

4 now. Edward Furlong for T2, who ever it was that played him in T3, the new one in the tv series Chronicles of Sarah Connor and Bale would make it the forth.

I must be thinking of flash-forward scenes then. Were those actors ever even credited? The last time I actually sat down to watch a Terminator film was a couple years ago, so I might be slipping.

4 including the TV series and the Termiantor 4. 5 if you include the future flashes in T2 where we see the future John Connor.

So, this movie is going to part of a new trilogy/series? I wish Cameron was on board for this one, or at least was a creative consultant or something. After, he was the one who pretty much created the whole universe of Terminator, right?

This does look good. I think Bale was both a logical and good choice for the role. Though it does feel strange thinking of Batman and John Connor looking the same, lol.

I'd guess that whenever this movie/series ends, we'll see Kyle Reese getting sent back to 1984 like in that video game Terminator: Dawn of Fate. That would definitely complete the circle, like the new trilogy did with Star Wars. However, I'd hope this trilogy would be better than its predecessors, unlike Star Wars

I've seen this trailer several times now. It looks horrid. Using the static to hint at the theme was really lame. That's almost as bad as the "Hitcher" trailer that used screams as part of the music...ugh.

I always assume this will be Bale's first bad movie, at least out of the ones I've seen. I hope not but whatever. If I go see this it will have to be because it got some good reviews or because my Dad wants to go. He hates bad movies as much as I do but he keeps having hope some of these Sci-fi re-hashes will be good. And this is why I had to see "Aliens Vs Predator", "Star Wars" 1-3, every "Star Trek" movie since I was born, and any of the "Robocop" sequels in theaters. I don't blame him though I'd do the same for turtles, plus some of them are good like "War Of The World", and uhhh I'll get back to you on that.

A little harsh there aren't you? I agree the static thing wasn't the best, but this was a very short look at a film which isn't even done yet. I have hopes for it.

BTW for those of you who don't know yet, body builder/actor Ronald Kickinger will be playing an early model of the T-800.

Ironically, he played a young Arnold in the TV movie See Arnold Run. He does kind of look like a Arnold when he was younger though. Arnold has also given permission to use his likeness in the film.

Ok, I'm not the biggest fan of the Terminator franchise but the latest trailer was f*cking AMAZING. I don't want to set my expectations too high cause I've seen similar trailers and was disappointed in the end. But man, was that a great trailer.
