For U.S audiences... if you want to avoid wasting your money, read the posts here before Nov 1st.
And then ask yourself: "Do I still want to spend my hard earned money to see a quick cash-in movie?"
shareFor me the answer is, "yes." Going next Tuesday night and while I may leave the theater wondering why I did that to myself, I want to see Linda Hamilton play Sarah Connor one last time. I'm hoping that regardless how much I don't like the film, I will get a kick out of her in the role again. Too bad they're not killing her off - her character really does deserve a spectacular ending. I always thought the leukemia death in T3 was terrible.
share"I want to see Linda Hamilton play Sarah Connor one last time."
Why? She's old enough to be a grandmother, and it's really embarrassing to see old people pretend to be as young and fit as they once were. Did no-one learn from Indiana Jones 4?
I don't think Linda pretends to be young or look young for that matter - she looks pretty rough to me, but still looks like she is in really good shape. I may not like the story line, but I'm curious to see what she does with the character.
I take it you, and probably most of the posters on this forum, are probably quite young. I saw the original Terminator in 1984 as an adult. Her age is not a factor to me. Perhaps viewing these movies though more mature eyes puts a different perspective on them - maybe not.
Through the years I've always gone to Terminator movies. I think T1 is just about perfect, T2 is great, but not perfect, and the rest I have enjoyed on different levels.
Screwing up a storyline is unforgivable to me, but I have never boycotted a movie and don't plan to start now.
The only reason I would suggest you boycott this or any movie is for one reason only: support.
By giving these people your money, you are financially supporting them and in a way, encouraging them to make another sequel to an already dead franchise. Sure, it;s just a movie right? What's the big deal?
The big deal is this: Hollywood is the number one propaganda machine in the world. These men in suits use Hollywood to disperse their ideologies through the media of movies. This has been an age-old tactic but it's gotten worse in the past 10 years.
This may or may not sound like insane talk to you, I dunno, but just know that by refusing to give Paramount/Miller/Cameron YOUR hard earned money, you are directly standing up against these soulless monsters. Cameron never cared about you, me or any Terminator fan. His name was only slapped on TDF so whatever money he makes from ticket purchases, he can funnel it into funding his FOUR Avatar sequels!
These horrible modern Hollywood films may suffer reputation wise, but they mostly still succeed financially. People are waking up and realizing that Hollywood is full of shite most of the time now, but they STILL pay to see the trainwreck. This isn't the way to do it. People need to acknowledge the film will be shite through research and trailers and then NOT go and see it. It's a sad world we live in when we need to research extensively about a movie before we make up our own mind whether or not there's any agendas being shoved in it.
In regards to TDF, Linda Hamilton did it for the paycheck. Arnold did it for the paycheck. Cameron did it for the paycheck. Miller directed it to shoehorn in agendas and diversity hires with little to no character background. They dont care about you.
Hurt Hollywood and these elitists the only way they know how to feel pain: their wallets.
