Anyone riding for this? With the semester done I want to zone out with a matinee.

I know plot < action in an action movie, but when it comes to a franchise that I sorta care about dealing with a storyline I've followed (except for part 3, which I heard was also turdtastic) I kinda need some good plotting and characters along with robots and shit blowing up.
Unless someone I trust comes out and rides hard, this is going in the "I'll get it on Netflix if I see it all" file.
That said, it's probably decent matinee zone-out material.
Dystopian, post apocalyptic robot shit is my all time favorite genre. So I gave this turd a lot of leeway.
lol.
Being immersed in the sounds is so clutch though. The soundscape of this film is dope, especially the overwhelmingly machinic parts.
Yes, but is it $9-plus-popcorn-and-soda dope?
I got decent surround sound at the crib, so I can make it nasty if I have to.
This movie had 1 scene that was worthwhile to Youtube, but for the most part it was about as watchable as an episode of DARK ANGEL.

if you're concerned about admission and refreshment expenses, your system can't be that nice.
If you geek out on sound, then yeah I'd say so. unless you got the "other room" home theatre experience the at home thing isn't the same (especially if you're hollering at the kryptonite beforehand
I'm concerned about that shit if the movie's wack. I'm happy to spend whatever on a film that's worth it. If you have the money and time to spend it on mediocrity, then more power to you.
If the main argument for seeing it in the theater is the sound experience, I'll be fine seeing it at home and cranking up the system.
Ive always wondered what Pre-Terminator Earth looked like, so i was kinda curious about this "prequel".
But Im not f*ckin w/ that Robots Have Feelings Too Bullshit. Its been done too many times. Let some 12 year olds get open on that shit.
b/w..
How many time are writers gonna use the Pyramids for Sci-Fi?
The new Transformers flick has some Pyramid bullshit. WTF. AGAIN?
Oh - so the Transformers possible contributed to the construction/inspiration/etc.
really? cause I see this every day I go out the house
it's hard to tell what they're going for with the pyramids from the previews, but the OG storyline had the transformers crashing on earth during the prehistoric age, and getting re-awakened in the present. I think I saw a bit with them finding an old ass buried transformer in one of the previews.

F*ck You Asshole

"go go go!"
"watch out!"
"over there!"
etc. not much on dialogue but it wasn't as bad as Terminator 3. i enjoyed it in some mindless level, the same level that enjoyed star trek. it's about what i expected from a director who's name is MCG.
i agree too the sound was pretty dope! the sound in the theater was so loud i was getting a jaw ache.
*semi-spoiler*
The more compelling element of the story was the fact that the dude that helps The Resistance destroy the Skynet base, was the dude whose body was used to create Skynet. I thought that was a pretty dope part of the plot. He's executed in 2003, and then 'wakes up' in 2018, but doesn't realize that he's an android when he wakes up. It's not about him being a robot and having feelings, it's more him being a human who did not want to live anymore because he regrets murdering people, and then being thrust back into life by some weird science. In fact there isn't really any part where "robots have feelings."
