After I watched Terminator 4 I found myself thinking strange thoughts such as, "This isn't the terminator I remember", and "Something feels off".
So I went back and watched the originals over again - which I really think the new writers and directors should've done. Now I understand that the newest film let's call it "T4" was rewritten more than 9 different times but GODDAMN let's cover some ground rules that will prove that T4 IS A ROYAL FUCK UP OF A MOVIE.

1. T4 takes place mostly during daytime.
In the FIRST Terminator Movie, Kyle Reese explains that they only go out at NIGHT because it's harder to be spotted by the Rovers (those huge flying ships) - this vision stays consistent with the battle scenes from T2 - but for some reason T4 looks like it was shot in IRAQ in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY!!!!

2. Bullets?? ? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???
Ok so, this movie takes place 14 years after skynet kills off most of the worlds population. So who the fuck has been sitting around making bullets for the last 14 years? The robots? No, because their smart enough to realize they should be using lasers like in movies 1 and 2. The Humans? No, I'm sure they've got bigger problems than trying to figure out where to get gunpowder. Yet everyone in this movie are using bullets - where the fuck are the lasers??
3. The dog doesn't recognize the terminator??
In the first film Kyle Reese said that they keep dogs around because they can tell who is a terminator - Ok cool I got it - basic ground rule, even in T1 the dogs alert them to the terminators presence. In T4, Kyle Reese has a dog and he spends half of the movie with a dude that turns out to be a terminator and. . .. . . Nothing. Why the fuck is the dog even in the movie if you can't follow the plot lines set up in the original movie? Are you trying to look like you don't know what your doing? Cause it's working.
4. Technological Inconsistencies.
So they don't have time travel yet in this story line - I can buy that, but how come they have humanoid terminators? No lasers but bullets? In the original films the human resistance were seen living in foxholes and underground fall out shelters, yet in this film they have helicopters and nuclear powered submarines.. It makes me so mad I can't even finish this list
Fuck you McG!! You destroyed possibly the greatest Sci-Fi series of all time. The series will live on but parts 5 and 6 will be done right and for the rest of our lives everyone will regard the 4th Terminator movie as a FUCKING JOKE, the worst in the entire series.

How the movies should go(assuming that there will only be 6 and that they should be self-fulfilling):
Movie 5: 2029, The terminators have discovered time travel - The resistance learn this by using robotic spies implanted with a b-chip which blocks skynets control over machines.. they use the chip to start modifying terminators to fight for them. Kyle Reese leads an offensive to the plant to shut down the time machine - but not before a terminator is sent back in time - Kyle Reese enters the time machine on the heals of the terminator shortly before the plant is destroyed.
Movie 6: The Final War. In 2031 a final battle takes place against skynet, thanks to the b-chip the human resistance has built an army of Human-friendly Terminators. However the only way to destroy skynet is to take out the satellites orbiting earth - without the satellites the shared consciousness of the terminators is very limited leaving them open to attacks. Guess who sacrifices himself to destroy the satellites? John Conner.

Also there was no chase. 1 ,2, and even 3 had the terminator chasing the Sarah and John most of the movie. This movie didn't have that at all.
T4 was an okay action movie but it shouldn't be lumped in with the rest. It should be called "Robots in the future with gun and bandanas" (seriously did you see the metal robot with the bandana. It keeps all that sweat out of his eyes)
