The film also adapts to our current cultural anxieties. The threat of nuclear holocaust that freaked out ’80s audiences has been eclipsed by our fear of cyberattack. “Skynet no longer has to break down our front door because we line up in front of Apple stores to invite it in,” Ellison says. “We’re constantly giving away our privacy.”
In what could be one of the most impressive technical feats yet, the filmmakers plan to re-create the memorable scene in the original Terminator when the T-800 lands at L.A.’s Griffith Observatory, complete with Schwarzenegger’s 36-year-old face and ripped, naked body. To achieve that, the special-effects team has created a “synthespian,” or synthetic thespian, using a body double plus scans of Schwarzenegger’s face from the first film merged with what his face looks like now. The result: an entirely CG head of the Terminator circa 1984. “It’s the holy grail of visual effects,” Ellison says. “You create a walking, breathing human that doesn’t exist.”

That had to be the laziest dumb plot hole i have ever seen in a movie.

The terminator throwing John Connor around instead of actually trying to kill him is also up there on the stupid scale.
That could be a really cool or a really terrible story line. I'm not sure yet.
Link - ( New Window )

I'll help you - it's terrible.
Why does this franchise continue to shit on the masterpiece that started it?
Could you imagine being at the table when that plot idea is floated out there?
"Wait...what?"
Boom, 500 million dollars right there. You're welcome.

Going to have arnold raising a young Sarah Connor or was that just a bad joke?
Well then, it wasnt a bad joke. Just bring back the Sarah Connor Chronicles!
Bingo. Some movies just aren't really "franchisable," and its sequels operate as proof. The Terminator is such a movie.
