    The movie is fun and entertaining! Stop being so harsh. I mean, it is also pretty cheesey, but that doesn't necessarily make it a horrible movie.


    I did enjoy the thought process that must have gone in to the scene in which they fought the first "new" terminator skeleton:


    "OK, so we've melted one with liquid hot magma before, and we've frozen one with liquid nitrogen. What could we do to this one?"


    "I know! I know! We can burn it AAANNDD freeze it!"


    "Genius!"

    is the movie really that bad? 2 weeks ago everyone was so excited about it and the cool trailers... is it that disappointing?

    @dham84: All the criticism that I have read seems to be based on setting the bar really high. For instance, why are people freaking out about Skynet having a chair? As if that is the most illogical thing in the Terminator franchise. And then, there are a bunch of complaints about how T4 doesn't tie up the story, or have remarkable revelations about the Terminator universe. All this seems to be based on preexisting expectations about what a Terminator movie should be like.


    Then again, I haven't seen the movie. Maybe it does suck orangutan balls.

    That was EXCEPTIONALLY well done! Bravo, IGN, bravo!


    There was one point in the latter half, and I won't say anything as a spoiler, where I laughed loudly and vigorously (clue: it relates to a hapless LIGHTING TECHNICIAN--YES, I said it, LIGHTING TECHNICIAN, let the ASC sue me).


    A top-notch, visually seamless and well-conceived/produced mashup!

    It doesn't matter if Skynet was built by the military, and although I forgive logistical errors here and there for sake of belief suspension, it can get out of hand. In my opinion, The Matrix had a great deal more thought put into it when the machines and their machine world was designed. It became completely devoid of ergonomic qualities. It was all a Machines Only affair.


    I guess Skynet had to be brought into one computer room so that it makes for a nicer piece of the plot, but T3 had Skynet as a massive network. Humbug I tell you. Pure humbug.

    @kakarotthemonkey: That's the scene when the helicopter comes down and Trinity fires the Gatling gun and you see the shell casings fall in slow-motion. Oops, wrong movie.


    That's the scene when they all go to Cyberdyne headquarters and get the hand and chip and the police have the place surrounded and the good T-800 uses the Gatling gun to blow up the police cars. Oops, still the wrong movie.


    That's the scene where John McClain rappels down from the roof of Nakatomi Plaza into the floor that's still under construction and takes out 3 of the terrorists. Oops, wrong movie again.

    Maybe the room was there from before Skynet took over. It seems reasonable that Skynet would just absorb Google headquarters into its brain, rather than have robots build a whole new supercomputer fortress.


    As for being shiny and clean... well, what is a good computer overlord to do? Euthanize those poor Roombas? At least give them some kind of purpose, man.

    Let me just say, I have a Sony VAIO. I like it. It looks nice and works well and is very happily running Windows 7 RC1.


    However, just like I don't expect to wirelessly upload a virus built using Mac OS8 using a PowerBook, I don't expect to use my VAIO to hack into fracking SkyNet. It does a great job of running stuff like Photoshop and web browsing is a breeze with built-in N connectivity.


    I know my limits though. I won't infect an alien mothership; I won't restart the electric fences around the dinosaur pens; and I cannot bring down SkyNet with a 2.1 GHz T8100 VAIO with 4GB of RAM.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Technically, the restarting of the electric fences was just resetting the system built into the park, whereas David did an uber hax against an operating system he never encountered before.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Also, regarding this particular point - Marcus was already in the system and disabled the security system, and reconfigured it to allow the doors/whatnot to interface with the Vaio. Not saying the VAIO didn't scream "product placement", but it was 1) technically covered and 2) less obvious than ST's Nokia placement.


    Saw the movie last night. I don't get the hate the Gizmodo boys are showing it. I thought it was good and wasn't uber-offended by what they lay out here. Just my 2-cents but I think the Gizmodo boys had a few drinks afterwards and had a little bitch fest, reinforcing the negatives. The nerd-herd mentality is hard to break once it gets going.

    @Faust: I had trouble believing that Nokia would be around in the 23rd century. I also had trouble believing that the car would be around in the 23rd century.


    Sadly, although I am able to run Ubuntu wonderfully on a two-year Toshiba laptop, I'm not sure I could use it to hack into WOPR. Heck, I don't think I can even use it to Skype-call WKRP. And although my VAIO can run some older games fantastically well, I can't use it to hack into an ATM.


    So whatever computer John Connor was using back in 1991 - that's the computer I want.
