Daenerys Targaryen to face the Terminator

Emilia Clarke will play Sarah Connor in the Terminator reboot.

The first film isn't great, so I am curious to see a remark/reboot, but the second will be almost impossible to beat.

Really? I find that ... a surprising opinion.

It did not age well. Like, aged terribadly. Bad FXs, bad photography, bad acting, bad script, horrible dialogues. Cameron can't film or write. Check out Aliens, Titanic or Avatar. T-2 is an accident.

Ok. I need to see Abyss beofre making it a define judgement. I will see it this week. Satisfied?

Hmmm... The only clunker in that list is Avatar. I would also look into some FX history -- particularly who Stan Winston is.

Lulz, bait! Nice try, they are all horrible films.

Who did it is less important than how it looks. That naked Terminator "walking" at the end? Fail. Arny's hair after he get's burn? Fail.

And I see you did not challenge script, photo, acting, dialogues, etc. So what is left? The plot? (John, I am your father... From the future and you sent me... Yeah, your mom was hot. /snikers)

I don't hold much hope, but if you want to educate yourself check out the Stan Winston article on Wikipedia.

(BTW I'm focusing on your FX complaint because, while I disagree with your other opinions, there's no accounting for taste. Saying that the FX is bad, though, is objectively wrong)

Please do not hint at other people being uneducated or otherwise less than you. Thanks. - Lwaxy

FWIW, Terminator's stop-motion animated sequences were actually fairly state-of-the-art for the time, especially for a low-budget film. CGI was still in its infancy- there was some used in Westworld and Futureworld in the 1970s, but only a little. Even in the 1980s, it was Used sparingly because of its expense. It wasn't until Toy Story in the 1990s that you had an all-CGI film.
