I am not a fan at all in what's coming. I watched the original Terminator last night, and it's the type of movie I would consider to be "perfect". I wouldn't say that about many movies, but I can't find a single fault with the original (Judgement Day has a few problems).
The new "rehash", reboot, or whatever is problematic to say the least. I guess they want to try something new, but then why force Schwarzenegger's T-800 back into the plot, if they don't intend on keeping the original premise of the first two movies? Schwarzenegger can't even fill the role anymore, as he's clearly past his prime (and I mean 20 years past it).
I get that Schwarzenegger's presence will always be attached to the franchise, but even his CGI appearance in Salvation didn't work. If they wanted to commit to something new they should have just dropped him, and probably moved on from Sarah Connor. While I didn't love Salvation, as least it provided for a few interesting ideas, and was different enough than the first three.
I wouldn't even mind them showing us the actual all our war the machines have with humanity, and end at the point where the T-800 and Kyle Reese are sent back in time. That's just another prequel though, but the war would make it worth it.
The magazine covers also don't give me much hope. They look an awful lot like the Days of Future Past covers. Oh and Jai Courtney is a terrible actor, so that's not a good place to start. Really I just wish James Cameron would helm these rather than working on unnecessary Avatar sequels.
