[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7800991, member: 6716779"] I rewatched Salvation recently and it was decent enough but I liked T3 would have been better if they dialed the humour down though. The main problem with Salvation is it doesn't really follow the lore in T1 and T2 or the tone. Salvation is kind if like Star Wars or a typical American type idealized group fighting against the big evil. T1 had horror elements, T2 toned it down but still showed you glimpses of the future. Either way it was more a survival type vibe and humans can only come out at night. Salvation has them in daylight and things like airstrikes which is a different vibe than T1/T2. Ye ha GI Joe type vibe. Also they're killing the Terminators fairly easily without future tech plasma weapons. Also in T1 it's established the machines can't be reasoned with or negotiated with and they move away from that as well so free willed Terminator/Humanhybrids come across as silly along with things like they capture Kyle Reese and don't just terminate him instead. And if judgement day can't be prevented it kind of makes T1and T2 pointless. It's why I think a lot of reboots and latter day sequals fall flat. Some simple rules to obey IMHO. 1. Be respectful of the original source material. 2. Internal consistency in your franchises rules/logic etc. 3. Don't negate the achievements of the original heroes/protagonists. T3 the tone was off at least they tried though, Salvation and Genesys they just gave up. I don't think this new one is going to do very well. It's going to violate rule 1 and 3 a lot. [/QUOTE]
