The new Terminator Salvation trailer got released last night, and I'll be damned if it doesn't look pretty exciting. This one focuses on Marcus Wright the human Terminator, which I was initially ready to dismiss as a lame BSG/disguised Cylon rip-off. But BSG never had a Cylon staring down into his/her own exposed metallic guts. So is it just me? Am I the only one excirted because my expectations for a McG-directed Terminator were so abyssmally low? Or do you all also think it's starting to look pretty good?

Wasn't remotely interested in this movie till I saw this trailer last night.

I remain optimistic that this film will be worth watching. But I confess to some bias since it was mostly filmed in and around Albuquerque (where I live) and in fact some scenes were shot in a building where I worked for several years. Regional biases notwithstanding, I still think it looks like a promising film in its own right.

I've thought this looked pretty good all along, but this trailer does make it look even better!
This is sort of what we were all waiting for Terminator to turn into, and the set up at the end of Terminator 3 was one of the most interesting movie surprises I can remember.

What made T3 so disappointing for me is that it at times it looked like a Sci-fi channel movie. The ending was balsy, but the rest was pretty lame. TS looks like the Terminator movie we've been waiting for. We're finally going to explore the world Cameron created.

Well, i'm pretty stoked. This could totally redeem McG for all the crap he's been making.

wow couldn't believe the lack of T3-style uninspired cheese. In just the quick flashes of trailer you get 5x the amount of genuinely cool terminator fx then that turd had. Even the over the top stuff (mega-bot, the chopper pin-down, super-bikes)in it wasn't obscenely ridiculous. jury's definitely still out but damn mcg, my arthouse snobby hatin ass might see it just for the visuals/fx.

Nope, not just you.
It is looking pretty awesome.

You know, these MovieWeb embedded videos never work for me. MovieWeb must use some sort of voodoo to make their videos not work in Safari.
Dorks.

It'd be even cooler if Bale screams at his rebel pals for talking over him during important scenes!

LOVE the early versions of the aerial drones (forgot their names). So rugged and "primitive" looking compared to the models in T1 and T2.
Must see this.

Trailer was great; but Nine Inch Nails made it fucking great.

Yeah, I went there. And Mac is also right.

Ah! Hunters/Killers. I thought that was the name, but I was too lazy to wikipedia it.

Of the two loud, smash, boom, explosion, bang, yelling and screaming trailers to come out recently- this and Transformers 2- I am more stoked about this movie than that other display of sensory overloaded crap.
T3 doesn't exist. It was a far and distant memory until now. Thanks for mentioning it everyone. Dang!
