nice

Damn!! That looks like a wicked movie..

I am a big fan of the Terminator franchise...can't wait to see this movie, though it will be different without Schwarzenegger in it...but it looks good nonetheless

I agree I love Arnie...

In waht way?

LOL...cute Spawny... I see him as a big brother that can kick ass. Actually He is really talented.

Hopefully it kicks Terminator 3's ass. That one was balls compared to the first two.

Well, if you think about the 1st,2nd, and 3rd are the most important because it explains the story, and also they are really old... lol

The first and second were awesome the third was ok so im hoping the 4th is like the first 2 and not a disappointment.

I need to download this

To be honest with you i have a feeling that this may turn out to be the best Terminator movie ever made. It's great to finally have a fresh spin on the series I'll definitely be checking this one out.

Yeah man, there more after this movie as well. Its like another trilogy after the first trilogy, like a quadgriligy

I think it will be the best in the series.

Review of Terminator Salvation
An exclusive review of the new Terminator 4 movie.
So to start off my official review of this amazing movie, I will say that this movie was AMAZING. I am sure you guys have seen just about every trailer as I have for the past few months. I personally felt like i saw 3/4 of the movie through the friggin trailers!!!!! But when I sat down today at the Marine base, and witnessed greatness in the making. McG is a genius!!!!!!! If not for Bale McG just successfully rebooted an almost dead series. We all had a bad taste in our mouths from T3.... But once the is released to the general public you'll see what I mean. I wont go into too much detail through the review ill keep it brief but detailed.

SPOILER REVIEW!!!!!

The movie starts with Sam Worthington's character in prison and is offered a solution to his suffering. Then just a few minutes in after that it cuts to John Connor with the helicopter landing on a T600's head and putting a bullet into it 15 years after (2018). Things happen and John leaves. After that we find Sam Worthington's character Marcus wandering aimlessly in the desert until he hits L.A.and runs into Kyle Reese who is played by Anton Yelchin who does an outstanding job. Now they are off to find John Connor with a mute little girl named Star. We then see Star and Kyle get captured by that huge robot you see in the preview and is taken to SkyNet's headquarters in SF. Marcus escapes and meets a pilot of the resistance named Blair (played by Moon Bloodgood) they get into a scrap with some scavengers and Marcus handles business. Blaire takes Marcus to John and the HQ. The HQ is surrounded by a magnetic mine field which Blaire thinks they will be fine because they are human. Marcus then gets hit by a magnetic mine that blows him away. You then cut to John's wife, Kate Connor played by Bryce Dallas Howard. This is when you see the scene where Kate and John look at Marcus and they say what are you???? Things go on and Blaire still thinks there is still a human side to Marcus and they escape. John and his team track them down to a lake where John gets attacked by the water robot and Marcus saves John and tells him to either kill him or help him find Kyle Reese. John knows withouth Kyle there is no future and lets him go. Now Marcus is on his way to SF and find Kyle. Marcus infiltrates the SKYNET base and learns what he is and why. John follows shortly after and frees the prisoners. (before I go on anymore, Linda Hamilton doesnt actually narrate, John listens to old tapes of hers..) Anyways John free the skinned prisoners. While looking into the pods for Kyle he looks into and gets pushed away by a flying door and you guessed it, a naked arnold schwarzenegger comes out looking EXACTLY like he did in the first one. It was perfect. Fights break out and John realizes that these are the T-800 that he found of the plans in the beginning which are stronger and harder to kill. So kyle bumps into John and they stay together for a short time until John calls for air support and tells Kyle and Star to get out. Now Marcus is back in the picutre on the good side and starts kicking the T-800's ass. John plants an explosive around the power cores that power the machines. ( the chip arnold throws out the car in the 3rd one and it makes a small mushroom cloud) So the T-800 just about kills marcus, and goes back after John. The T-800 stabs Connor with a metal pole almost killing him. Once to safety John is on a medical bed almost dead and Marcus offers his heart to John as redemption for his horrible past. John lives on and they set it up for a sequel where John learns about time travel and how they can program metal to obey human commands. That's the end of the movie.

Crow, u bastard... lol, please if u can post the full moive here tomarrow please and thank you

I heard this movie rocks

Warning: may include SPOILERS for those who have not watched the trailer.

Hollywood and robotics researchers have long struggled with the "uncanny valley," where a movie character or robot falls into the unsettling gap between human and not-quite-human.

One psychologist likes to demonstrate this by holding up a plastic baby doll and asking audiences if they think it's alive. They say no.

Then she takes out a saw and starts cutting the doll's head off, but quickly stops upon seeing the uncomfortable audience reactions.

"I think that part of their brain is thinking the doll is alive, and you can't shut that off," said Thalia Wheatley, a psychologist at Dartmouth College.

Similar sensations abound in the movie "Terminator Salvation," which tells the story of the artificial intelligence Skynet and its army of robots threatening to wipe out humanity in 2018.

The uncanny twist comes when Skynet begins disturbing experiments that combine human flesh with robotic strength.

Scientists have begun to understand what happens in the human brain when it encounters the uncanny valley. And like the post-apocalyptic future of "Terminator," it's not pretty — a murky landscape where conflict rages upon confronting a challenge to our human identity.

Robot suffers identity crisis

Robots of earlier "Terminator" movies, such as the famous model played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, walked with the easy confidence of programmed beings.

Their apparent inhumanity fed the thrill of terror felt by both human characters and movie audiences.

What the new "Terminator Salvation" suggests is that one of the earliest human-looking terminators had something of an identity crisis, and even bore the human name "Marcus Wright."

That robotic delusion lasts until Wright gets captured with a horrific wound that exposes his true self.

"In the instant Marcus stares down at his mechanical torso, his sense of personal and human identity has been knocked out from under him, and that's devastating," said Karl MacDorman, a robotics researcher at Indiana University.

Moviegoers may also find themselves squirming a bit at the sight of a gaping hole in Wright's chest. Such a sight might not disturb so much if Wright looked like a mechanical robot that had merely suffered battle damage.

Yet Wright's human appearance betrays none of the robotic clues seen in the behavior of previous terminators — the emotionless faces, the unwavering movements, and the flat voices.

These moments reveal how the uncanny feeling can come from seeing a "mismatch among the elements" that signify normal human behavior and appearance. The mismatch can even occur for robots that don't necessarily look human, but display other eerily human characteristics.

"If you have a robot that looks very robot-like, you're not so troubled by its jerky motion," MacDorman told LiveScience. "If the robot moved exactly like a human, it might look strange."

A brain warring with itself

That strange sensation can affect people around the simplest of objects, as Wheatley clearly demonstrated with the plastic baby doll. Her lab examines how the uncanny valley might play out as a conflict in the brain.

Some sort of mental disconnect became clear in one of the lab's behavioral studies, where people looked at a gradual morph from a human face to a doll face.

People quickly recognized the point where they became uncertain about whether the face was alive or not, when the morph was just 30 percent doll mixed in.

However, the point at which they found the morph "creepiest" had much more of the doll face than the human face in the mix.

Wheatley suggests that one part of the mind gets tricked into believing it's seeing a human.

"One brain area likes to look at faces, same in monkeys as in humans — very primitive," Wheatley explained. "It doesn't seem to care so much if it's looking at human or a doll or a drawing; it just sees two eyes, a nose and mouth, and the brain cells fire."

At the same time, Wheatley suspects that the brain's social network regions recognize that the object is not alive.

That social network system becomes active whenever the brain tries to understand other people's emotions or mental states, and also detects the biological motion of anything that's alive.

The resulting conflict in the brain sounds mental alarm bells and may create the uneasy feeling that we know as entering the uncanny valley.

"Even though your sophisticated analysis says it's not alive, you still have a primitive part of the brain not getting it," Wheatley said.

Testing the uncanny valley

Perhaps the greatest surprise about the uncanny valley is the lack of scientific studies supporting it, even though almost four decades have passed since Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori proposed the idea in 1970.

Wheatley's lab and others have only begun doing preliminary brain scan studies to identify which brain areas light up in response to an uncanny valley moment.

"There's a lot of interest in the uncanny valley, and not a lot of research to back it up," Wheatley said. "We're hoping to fill that void."

Other researchers have also argued that the uncanny valley concept is too simplistic, particularly how it describes a smooth drop-off curve as objects steadily appear more and more human.

"There are some people who say it's simply not true," MacDorman said. "I don't fully agree with that, because I think there's definitely something to the uncanny valley — but there's a problem with a simplistic view of the uncanny valley."

No one knows what it means to have 70 percent or 90 percent human likeness, MacDorman pointed out. Perhaps all the attributes of a robot, ranging from the eyes to body movement to voice tone, might have 90 percent resemblance to human characteristics.

Or a robot could be 99 percent perfect, except for a delayed reaction time during conversations with humans.

That could still trigger the uncanny valley sensation in observers who would quickly conclude that the robot was retarded, if not — gasp — non-human.

If scientists still have not gotten a handle on the uncanny valley, at least everyone can experience it for themselves at the movies.

Some filmmakers may run into the phenomenon accidentally by trying to create that perfect CGI character in "The Polar Express" or "Beowulf," MacDorman noted. Other movies, such as "Terminator," embrace the uncanny valley for the questions it raises about the human identity.

"In the scene of 'Terminator Salvation' when the Marcus Wright character discovers himself to be a terminator, the source of his horror — and ours — is not any defect in animation," MacDorman said.

WHERES THE MOVIE??

is this the movie that christain bale shouted at a guy during the filming and it made the news?

Yes it is...lol

lol looks quite good do you think it will be better than transformers 2?

Hard to say... I'm a big fan of both Terminator and Transformers.

I think Terminator will be more accurate to real-life robotics, though.

yh but transformers does have megan fox which is cleary an advantage
