Terminator Super Nintendo

Saw it. Its a fan film. They can't think this is anything more than that, it's fanboy movie making youtube vid stuff. But anyway it's going to be divisive for sure. Such a late and truly exaustive entry in the series. People will hate it out of spite for merely existing as the last nail in the franchises coffin after several attempts to reawaken the corpse. I enjoyed it because its fine if you're like me and have the ability to imagine different diverging paths for the story... But i definitely feel its yet another pointless sequel to add to the pile and it will be viewed as such. Nothing else was possible with the story. No, you know what this movie is comparable to, Robocop 2. People calling it force awakens. So small minded. It's a lot like f'n Superman 4, robocop 2, like a damn disney sequel or something... I want to say Superman Returns but that's got none of the original cast in it so it doesn't count. But yeah imagine it as one of those flicks you might catch that maybe bring back one of the original characters from the first movie and the rest of the movie is about a dif character and new people... it's like those, uh dtv movies trying to capitalize on the name. If you want to get with it. Basically a mediocre sequel, take your pick there's a billion of them. It's not outright terrible but it it's not on the first movie's level and in this flick's case, it's like an aimless meaningless mediocre next chapter of a franchise we've seen before.

So this movie essentially Indy 4 asking us to view it on the same league as T1 and T2. Ha ha ha, no, no soup for you....

On its own, yeah it's ok. I don't hate Indy 4 on its own. It's got some merits but next to the classic 3, get out of here with that mess.

This ain't going to stand next to the first two. That aside. Hamilton is brilliant. Would have been fun to see her in a proper T3 and that hurts to know we'll never see that. So that's it, this is what happens after T2 if you want to take it as truth. I mean I guess yeah, some kind of ai eventually just popped up like out of somebody's ass somewhere. Oh and the thing with John, just get out of here with that shit, no. I'd prefer he met his fate in a way different way. That decision to create that drama there was not needed. Sarah hating terminators has been well established, probably one of the most hackneyed ways they've ever brought back arnold. the film would have been more interesting if he actually was just a man named carl who looks like arnold and helps them, the whole terminator that just wanders around aimlessly with no programing is a perfect metaphor for the frachise at this point and they simply seem to be oblivious to it?

It's a fan film. On par with T3. I feel like and truly have wasted oh... 16 years of my life dedicated to terminator sequels.

It's been a blast!
