@@trueblue7746 Hell yeah. A proper period WOTW for once - not 'updated' AGAIN. A cinematic epic based on the original novel that respects its source material, the way Jeff Wayne did with his musical.
God this looks so much better than the bland, "modernized" look in T3 and beyond. I always loved the blend of chrome and washed-out blue, and the mix of laser combat with ruined cityscapes at night.
My eyes are tearing up. I've loved this tale of a cyber-apocalyptic world for so long, and it weirdly meant so much to me growing up, that my heart is overjoyed seeing it portrayed as it should be. All I can say is a sincere, thank you.
Amen amen 🙏 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Outstanding job Outstanding this comment section just doesn't do justice for this person I can't tell him or her what a great job 👏 👍
Despite the lack of a story, I loved how well inspired and graphically detailed this is. The animation is perfect and very respectful to the original movies. Glad I gave it a chance, loved it 👌🏻
I'm so impressed with this,I'm in my 60's an absolute stickler for staying true to the original Terminator movies and you,my fine young friend,have done the movies more justice than Hollywood ever could have,well done you're a legend 😁
Terminator should have been a trilogy and nothing more, with a 3rd episode taking place in the future and John Connor sending back Kyle Reese in time at the end.
This writer combined with some of the terminator art ideas by ai would make for a movie on par with the original and more true to the novel. Executives might be too scared to try though.
@@beTrollakod00 So you think the best option is for the franchise to be nothing more than a temporal loop with no resolution? I’ll take the conclusion of either of the first two films as superior to that idea.
Thank you - I'm happy you think so. And thank you for the lovely article on your site: www.theterminatorfans.com/is-this-the-terminator-future-war-movie-fans-always-wanted/
This is exactly what I wanted a third Terminator film to look like, and it's absolutely beautiful! I can only hope that someday this can be turned into a full feature-length production, because then we'll finally have a true sequel to follow the first two masterpieces. I love this so, so much.
@@JamieFMartin one of my favorite things was so simple but it was the terminators running not slowly walking I really like that add considering that the T 800 could run at a speed of 75 Kilometers
WE ALL GET THIS, for real and this will NOT be just a movie, 4G 5G 6G 9G 10G that will help them , look at boston robotics, this is just a matter of time
This is the coolest thing I've seen in months. This is also the best visual concept of what I think every Terminator fan has wanted after Terminator 2. Thank you SO MUCH for this!
spot on man. the music. color schemes. used camera angles and lenses. sound design. even the way laser tracers look are out of Terminator 1. way better than any of the crap sequels that came after T2.
Congrats. You managed to create the closest thing fans have wanted in an 8 minute video on zero budget. Pity hollywood still can't figure this out out after all the other movies and endless budget they have squandered on this franchise
Because Pedowood doesn't care about the fans or story or anything just throw a bunch of money at it. They don't even care if it even makes money just push their lame ass agenda. This person 👆 did an amazing freaking job. Standing ovation for them
This was done exactly in the same vein as Terminator 1 - 1984. It paid Supreme homage and respect to the Original Vision in how the futuristic battle scene was done. You have made and fulfilled a void Hollywood never did. You are one talented and blessed individual. The true fans collectively send you blessings and well wishes for this.
There are only two ways we can get a decent T2 sequel: either we fight a war with the machines in real life; or we give talented fans the rights and the budget to do it.
You have given the fans something we've all been waiting for. The original 2 Terminators movies contained one of the best post-apocalyptic scenes to date, yet no sequel comes close to replicating the true spirit of Judgement Day. You have accomplished what any modern director failed to give us. After Terminator 2, there was no where else to go except to the Future War. Terminator Salvation tried, but it lacked most of the elements that made the future feel like Judgement Day. This short film was so GOOD. Seeing Tech-Com forces at the end, oh man! I freaked because those soldiers looked like the Tech-Com soldiers we grew to with. Thanks for this awesome short film. I really hope you've got more coming.
@@SkemeKOS that’s because Salvation literally takes place 10 years before judgement day, before the T-800. Salvation was actually lore accurate about a lot of T-600 things . not to mention it makes perfect sense they needed to reverse engineer plasma rifles to combat the unstoppable T-800
The atmosphere, the sound effects, the music, human radio chatter, and everything is phenomenal. THIS is what Terminator fans want. It's a shame Salvation wasn't well-received because they planned it to be a trilogy that easily could've had these great future war scenes.
They gotta stop canceling shit. Canceling a series 1/3 of the way thru cause nobody understands the full picture is rediculous (the majority of the complaints of genisys was not understanding the timeline). The directors need to realize that every terminator movie is gonna get hate when it comes out but gets better as time goes on. Like what? They get a few bad reviews and they cancel the trilogy even if the first movie was profitable. So stupid
This was the sequel I was expecting around 1986. The future war, only glimpses of it in Kyle's dreams but that IS what we wanted to see after the chilling horror of 1984s Masterpiece. You nailed the mood and feeling. Superbly done.
I think the most impressive part is you perfectly nailed the first person perspective of the machines from the look and the static sound effects, the text, the red screen down to the search mode. It really looks like it was professionally made.
Indeed - I saw and felt the ENTIRE paramilitary and dark aesthetic of the #TERMINATORFutureWar of both T1 (1984) and T2 (1991) in this short flick 🎥📽️ - which even included the long-missing #HunterKiller tanks, which had mysteriously been missing in action after T2. Keep up the good work though; I just love every bit of this! By the way, I was just waiting and hoping for someone to finally aim and shoot a rocket 🚀 launcher/RPG cannon at that last HK air unit; that was right on point! 🍿 PLEASE assist James Cameron in directing T7, T8 and/or any other upcoming TERMINATOR media projects. Take care! 🤖😎🕶️💀🤓🤠
This is truly great and exactly what a new movie should be. I was disappointed by every movie after 2 because I expected each one to be like this. I don't know how an individual can do this but a movie studio with millions of dollars can't. Great work, this is very on-point.
I'm convinced they don't want to make movies where "un-adjusted men" (aka real ones) are an asset, and the "well-adjusted people" (fake, Machiavellian types) are a liability. We're meant to do great things, not just be machines running the furnaces of tyrannical power. We didn't survive the Toba super volcano by being petty and controlling of each other. We had to have worked together to survive that.
@@manictiger There are war movies or shows like "Band of Brothers" that portray other than "well-adjusted men" as an asset. Kyle Reese in "Terminator" is a similar wartime portrayal. But Reese was well adjusted for his mission. So were the soldiers in BoB, insofar as humans could or should be. During peacetime what would a positive portrayal of a man who isn't "well adjusted" look like? "Tool Man" Taylor? He was a well-meaning buffoon. Jesse Pinkman in "Breaking Bad"? Maybe it's just that war against killer robots has a way of simplifying things. Insofar as Hollywood is to blame for cultural woes I'd think it's more what they don't make than what they do. We get good takes from big media but only decades after it would've been risky or made a difference. They're asleep at the switch on housing, transportation, and animal rights. We're badly messing up on how we build, how we travel, and how we eat but you'd never know it from the stuff released to theaters or streaming platforms.
The problem is you got writers & producers in Hollywood who more than likely have never seen the original film multiple times and so they assume a lot of generic sci-fi stereotypes is what people want. Stupid thing is Terminator: Dark Fate was produced and partly written by JAMES CAMERON ffs. Makes the mind boggle how these once revered director, producer, writer types go so far off the field from source material, especially when it's their own. Terminator is FAR deeper than standard sci-fi, but that's modern day movies for sure aint it? :/
i think cameron should release a statement about this video. something like 'fabulous work. thats what T3 shouldve been! instead of all those dreadful sequels. including DF for which i sincerely apologise '
@@bozotheclown169 Imo we shouldn't listen to what he says. He is a business man now that lied us once about Genisys, and again with DF. If he would be a man he was in 80/90s he would never let DF be so bad and so lack of fresh ideas. I'm not going to be fooled by him again :/
It's where T2 should have went instead of being too much unexplained, lovey dovey, sfx filled money making shoot em ups. The tone of the original should have been maintained........
As an obviously huge Terminator fan I loved this. Made a short myself recently with Terminator as something of an inspiration (albeit without the sci-fi sadly)! This was very cool to see, I'd love to see you do more from the Terminator universe.
I love how well shot this is. Right on par with the production of the first two blockbuster movies. I also love how "Kyle Reese" narrates the whole thing straight out of the first terminator movie when he was explaining all this to Sarah.
I stumbled upon this. Sir, the use of the 1984 soundtrack and sound effects, the overall look, feel, and tone was the same high I was chasing and trying to find since the first film. You captured that entire speech like a candle slowly going out. Thank you so much for making this 37 year old terminator fan's day.
I just simply could watch an entire hour or more with footage like this, no matter if it has story or not. Just having the experience seeing machines killing humans in the night and those purple plasma rays. Love it. 😅
Great work! This single video kept the tone, atmosphere, and (most importantly) the mystique of the future war scenes we saw in T1 and T2 - keeping everything from the visuals and audio, to the storytelling consistent with what us fans want from Terminator. Whoever made this understands Terminator as a piece of art, and understands what the fans want more than the studios who have released Terminator movies post-T2. It retained the obvious power imbalance between the humans and machines. It didn't have the humans rolling out in large loud groups in the middle of the day. The humans were sneaking around during the cover of night and being quiet, because even a single T-800 can wipe out a large group of humans single handed. It didn't have humans facing off against a massive army of T-800s - keeping the main enemies as the large faceless units.
@@joeesperanto678 Salvation was to be the start of a trilogy leading up to the original. Also, it was NOT anything like The Matrix, Blade Runner, and Transformers. Mad Max was the inspiration for the aesthetics of the timeframe being it was *eleven years* before the Future War of the first two films. Too bad said trilogy plan got scrapped.
@@plaguedoctorjamespainshe6009 Dude, you are aware that Salvation happens *11 years* before the Future War of the first two films, right? It was to be the first in a trilogy leading up to T1 & T2 each becoming more like them. So it was supposed to look a little different in the start.
@@mercenaryknight5419 i know, you can see the moment the studio said "i want this to be one movie and not a trilogy" Right after the harvester The plot just rushes to the end
That, honestly, blew my mind.. These lines of Kyle Reese are my favourite. Within just a few minutes he is able to comunicate the world he's coming from. Amazing work,. dude, let's do a kickstarter to do T3 (the real one). take my money, please... and hire Michael Biehn as voice actor, he definetly deserves it.. omg and an evolution of the Brad Fiedel's 1 sound track,.. well basically the T3 we all have been ages waiting for..
SUPERB! The sense of scale with the focus hazing and wide angles is BRILLIANT! But I especially love how well you isolated Michael Biehn's (Kyle Reece) monologue and other spoken moments from the first film. The quality of the clean up of audio is astounding. You should be very proud of this work. As some people have said below already you have made a far better short film than Hollywood made full length with the last 3 or 4. Terminator, Terminator 2 & Terminator: HUNTER KILLER ALL FTW!
I'd honestly pay to see an extended version of this, not with a hopeful ending, but with a pyrrhic victory, humanity defeating skynet but losing so many in the final battle
I agree 100%. A full scale battle that is a distraction for a small task force unit to infiltrate and bomb Skynets super computer. Though these guys would not make it out alive. THAT, I could definitely get behind.
This is incredible!!!! Why can't they make Terminator movies like this? Oh yeah......cause Hollywood sucks! Also, nice to see more from Skynet/Terminator's perspective.
Crazy how a shoestring budget and dedication gets you further in capturing the essence of the original than millions of dollars, star actors and entire special effects studios.
When i saw glimpses of the future war in T1 and T2 i hoped a film would focus on the war. Termination Salvation was ok but this short film captures the atmosphere i wanted. Amazing work, incredible what fans can create.
Yeah Salvation just didn't have the right atmosphere. For starters it was way too bright. It didn't feel impressive and hopeless like the war scenes from T1 and T2 did. Its that dark oppressive ambiance littered with death and machines that are nigh unkillable, unstoppable, relentless, that you can't hide from. They don't desire anything, not even your death. It's just a protocol to them, an unwavering fact. The only solace to be had is that it's not personal. The machines don't hate you or desire your pain or suffering.
This was downright haunting and beautiful. It's a damn shame that Dark Fate finally killed the franchise, because this prequel approach could've worked like a charm. A lot of bizarre shit could've happened in the 2020s prior to the moment Skynet sent the two Terminators back in time, and this short shows what could be possible with that concept. Alas... I mean, in hindsight, Terminator 3 and Salvation, the continuations we got before Paramount bought out the rights, were not that bad compared to the later entries, weren't they?
This is great. This is what I've always wanted to see, a story based during the actual war, Creepy sci-fi horror vibes. The whole going back in time thing was definitely played out. They came close with Terminator salvation. I know this is just taking inspiration of the pieces of the future war from Reese's narration, but in all honesty, that's the best part of the franchise. Especially the classic laser sounds against the dark blue hue of the post apocalyptic world. And you can't beat that amazing synth score. Definitely wouldn't mind getting another terminator film with THESE elements though.
This really is perfect. It’s exactly what I wanted to see since I was a kid, watching the future war scene at the beginning of T2. They had so much to work with, yet ruined the franchise. This film redeems it, though. They need to make T1 and T2, the Resistance video game, and this film official canon, and scrap everything else from the story, with all their stupid alternate timelines.
This is the future war fans wanted in Terminator Salvation. Aerial HKs swooping overhead, Tank HKs rolling over the ruined landscape, laser tracer-fire crisscrossing the scenery as the remnants of mankind fight their desperate war against the machines.
Salvation was to be the start of a trilogy leading up to the original. Salvation happens 11 years before the Future War of the first two films, right? It was to be the first in a trilogy leading up to T1 & T2 each becoming more like them. So it was supposed to look a little different in the start. Too bad said trilogy plan got scrapped.
They actually plan to do a Future War based on Kyle Reese nightmares right after Salvation. They already have the rough scripts drafts and the movie was going to be film right after Salvation premier. But the fans lashed out and the movie flopped and the next 2 movies were cancelled.
This is it, this is what many of us were been dreaming of. Every now and then I dream beeing in this kind of scenery, smashing metal freaks. This is what every Terminator fan had ever desired to be offered. This + a nice script, and there you have it. The perfect sequel. I know is near impossible, but thanks to you sir, I can come here and see what marvelous could've been.
This is fantastic. This is how Terminator Salvation should have looked and sounded. I want to make my REESE trailer now. Terminator movies should look and sound like James Cameron originally made them.
Hot damn, that was great to watch! Especially that closing score. I can't distinguish if it's from the movies or not. Plus the animation and how ambiguous the infantry guys are. God I wish this were a show on Netflix
Many thanks. The soundtrack is a new mix I created using instrumentation provided by the wonderful @kosmusic . The final musical piece (when the A-HK is shot down) is a variant of the main Terminator theme.
@@JamieFMartin There's gotta be a million cover versions of the Terminator theme all over youtube, and yet NONE of them can touch the mastery that is KOSmusic.
I’d just come across this by accident and I’m just gonna say this was bloody amazing. You’ve totally captured the feel of the original 2 Cameron movies.
This is really, really, really, really impressive. Amazingly well done. I love that you have used Michael Biehns voice. And the vision of the hunter killers is really well done.
This is outstanding! When we the fans start making our own full-length movies it's game over for the big movie studios. We have the technology now to craft our own masterpieces and we possess far more passion and creativity than any of those so-called "experts" in Hollywood. The future of movies has never been brighter! :-D
Whoo heck yeah my favorite part is the Terminators Running toward the Humans that shit Made me feel Scared like an actual Genuine Thrill of Fear with excitement like try that this is epic canon
@@recordingangelproductionsl3324 exactly. Throwing 3d objects together is one thing. Making a whole movie is well a completely different story :) That said. Indie films have always been possible. A great movie do not need a lot of advanced CGI or special effects. Basically it just need a gold script a gold director and some gold actors. Good composer is not to bad either to have :)
@@litjellyfish You want to know something? I tried to start a film group where I live. But out here, people don't want to come together to make films. But they have no problem with spending their free time going to the pubs and getting wrecked. The jokes on them because now they got nothing to show for.
I am absolutly in shock how EPIC this is, and the simplicity (of the story telling) of it makes it even better. How is it possible that a giant movie studio with a 200 miljon budget makes SHIT terminator movies, and a few fans create something this good that i would pay to see more???? 🤯 I left a big fat like and i subcribed. Just in case more of this is made 👍👍👍💪💪💪
Because they keep making the type of movie fans of the first two movies don’t want. They had quite a few bites at the Cherry but found new and surprising ways to screw the pooch
the reason is simple : it is *about* actual, Terminator, the war, and strictly nothing else, no other agenda, political or otherwise. That short is in service in the Terminator universe, a magnificent yet short and simple tribute, no more, no less, it is exactly what it should be and shines in being just that. Hollywood means marketing codes, underlying maintstream ideology and the latest representations that has to be shoved in litterally every single big-budget movie.
easy, because their passion isnt the material or the audience. its the profit margin. your not seen as a person. your seen as a currency to exploit. and the only thing that matters is a bottom line. they could care less about the subject material and creating something worthwhile. thats your basic definition for pretty much the entirety of hollywood today.
Oh man, you really captured everything in perfectly matching detail, right down to the design of the machines, the way they shine, their IR vision screens, the dust and the colours - how long did you spend just on getting the exact colours, my dude - and that speech, perfectly sets the pace, and the way they shoot is exactly the same almost haphazardly... is there a word for that..? And then the soundtrack perfectly layered on top of it. Ahhhhh dude, this is even more detailed than my nightmares. Why is it film directors can't do this with hundreds of millions of dollars? I hope this is your cv pitch, and I hope they snap you up. Best of luck to you sir.
You already had me with the animation. But then at 2:12 my favorite synth line from T1 kicked in and I can’t hold back how much I love how amazing this whole thing is 👌🏻👌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Am really looking forward to seeing some later works of yours.
That was excellent . The atmosphere was spot on . Captured everything that Made the future scenes in T1/T2 so memorable , from the bleak landscape to the sense of dread that could only come from fiedels score . More please !
you don't usually see future war scenes where the endos RUN. showing that it is not always a slow march adds a terrifying sense of speed to the already terrifying terminator
For the first time I see the best work after Terminator 1984, the details are perfectly recreated, this scene of the future is perhaps the best as a continuation of everything, for me as a fan you have done an amazing job. the music, the sounds is great , thank you very much!!!!
You absolutely nailed the entire atmospheric ideal that Jim Cameron's future war was, the most chilling aspect? That kid in the tunnel who had no idea death was about to come. The fact that 800 had no plasma rifle, straight put thoughts in my head that was absolutely terrifying, which the original Terminator did for me as a kid. So kudos!
"Terminator - Resistance" Excellent game. The real sequel we all wanted. Just a decade or so late. This is just as awesome. Excellent sound, visuals, and great storytelling via placement of very well cut dialogue. It felt longer than 8 minutes. Well done.
Wow! This is better than any of the Terminator movies that came after T2. It vibes so well with the style of the first 2 films. I feel this is just 8 minutes of the sequel to Judement Day that we never got to see. Thanks for that. You rock! The studios could learn a thing or two from you. I wish and hope you make a full length Terminator film one day. It would be fantastic!
The Terminator franchise gave us two great films. Shame they didn't go any further. This short film is a fantastic effort that captures the essence of this franchise.
How in the (out of) world did you do this??!! This is super professional and extremely realistic to the Terminator. I was especially impressed by the scanning modes. So much intricate detail in those segments. I’m sub’d now!!!
The original Terminator is probably my favorite movie ever and as such I wasn’t expecting much from this video. Unlike many of the other videos I’ve watched I have to say you impressed me! You managed to capture the feel of the original movie and your clever use of the soundtrack and Michael Biehns dialogue really worked! I really think you’ve come closer than anyone to giving us an satisfying and authentic feeling future war experience. Good job! I’d like to see more.
The original film is also my favourite. I wanted to try and capture the tone from that movie; the sheer horror of the future world, humans living like rats, machines ceaselessly hunting us down… just the apparent hopelessness of it all.
Absolutely mind boggling how this person nailed it perfectly, yet big Hollywood studios and all their money and connections can't get anywhere close to what us fans really want to see from the Terminator franchise.
Absolutely amazing work, that atmosphere, that music, this is the real Terminator essence / Feeling, thanks for an amazing short experience for all terminator fans
Goes to prove that a huge budget isn't needed. Just a creative vision true to the source material. Not shitting all over the legacy that made it great, unlike what we get today. Excellent job at capturing the look and feel of the original.
The Music really Completes it!! You cannot authenticate a Terminator film of any kind without those dark tunes. It really pulls you officially into the universe of The Terminators 💚💚💚💚 Very well done everybody!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I once had a nightmare that I was a survivor in the Terminator apocalypse. Like a rat in a junkyard. The Resistance started putting up a fight in my area. I remember being mad at the Resistance and wanting them to go fight somewhere else, because they were attracting HKs. I took cover in a library, between the shelves. Two HK tanks rolled through the library, driving straight through the walls and shelves. Then the fighting outside ended, and one of the HK tanks came to a stop just one bookshelf away from me. I could hear it there. With nothing to kill and no imminent mission, it went into standby and just sat there. Being a machine, it could sit there for hours, days, weeks -- until it detects a target or gets new orders. And since I was so close to it, I was stuck. If I tried to move, it would detect and kill me. So, I had to stay there, hidden and perfectly still, waiting for it to leave. If it never left, I'd likely starve. In that moment, I found myself hoping the Resistance would come and distract it. That's the kind of Terminator movie we need. Suspense, survival horror.
0:16 the soldiers of the future should make body armour out of the same material they make toy dolls out of - that stuff can survive a nuclear explosion
This is what annoys me. More passion and a far superior product than an “official” production with millions of dollars behind it. If only Hollywood still cared
Wow. The future-war scenes we wanted in every movie after T2. For some reason (I guess trying to be different and new?) they kept drifting away from this aesthetic ever since "Salvation". Maybe it would have gotten old, but it's a visual touchstone. A signature. You instantly know where you are. This is 8 minutes of future-war bliss. Thanks so much.
I LOVED Salvation, the designs were phenomenal, but some review I watched nailed what had always been bugging me: too much daytime action, and Markus steals the show. Also his rebellion is silly - Skynet could just make him obey and the chip in the neck flaw, wtf? Designed by that death star engineer? But some scenes in Salvation are legendary. And Christian Bale was dope. I'm so sad they ditched the trilogy.
@@luketimewalker no kidding. When the T-800 appeared I was floored. I even liked the explanation for John Connor's scar, though I always saw it as a battlefield wound. I was just happy they acknowledged it.
Once again, fans do things better than the official companies.
That's because corporations don't wanna entertain people but rather brainwash them.

Congrats. You managed to create the closest thing fans have wanted in an 8 minute video on zero budget. Pity hollywood still can't figure this out out after all the other movies and endless budget they have squandered on this franchise
Because Pedowood doesn't care about the fans or story or anything just throw a bunch of money at it. They don't even care if it even makes money just push their lame ass agenda. This person 👆 did an amazing freaking job. Standing ovation for them
This was done exactly in the same vein as Terminator 1 - 1984. It paid Supreme homage and respect to the Original Vision in how the futuristic battle scene was done.
You have made and fulfilled a void Hollywood never did.
You are one talented and blessed individual. The true fans collectively send you blessings and well wishes for this.
There are only two ways we can get a decent T2 sequel: either we fight a war with the machines in real life; or we give talented fans the rights and the budget to do it.
I think that our long desired sequel will be a live action! Literally
I actually enjoyed Salvation 'cause it filled in a lot of blanks. T3 was alright. The rest can die in a hole.
You have given the fans something we've all been waiting for.
The original 2 Terminators movies contained one of the best post-apocalyptic scenes to date, yet no sequel comes close to replicating the true spirit of Judgement Day.
You have accomplished what any modern director failed to give us. After Terminator 2, there was no where else to go except to the Future War.
Terminator Salvation tried, but it lacked most of the elements that made the future feel like Judgement Day.
This short film was so GOOD. Seeing Tech-Com forces at the end, oh man! I freaked because those soldiers looked like the Tech-Com soldiers we grew to with.
Thanks for this awesome short film.
I really hope you've got more coming.
Cheers. I’m happy you thought so 🙂
Yeah, Salvation completely failed to replicate the Future War scenes from T1 and T2. Huge letdown.
@@SkemeKOS that’s because Salvation literally takes place 10 years before judgement day, before the T-800. Salvation was actually lore accurate about a lot of T-600 things . not to mention it makes perfect sense they needed to reverse engineer plasma rifles to combat the unstoppable T-800
The atmosphere, the sound effects, the music, human radio chatter, and everything is phenomenal. THIS is what Terminator fans want. It's a shame Salvation wasn't well-received because they planned it to be a trilogy that easily could've had these great future war scenes.
I agree with you.
My top T-movies are T1, T2 and T:Salvation. All full versions ;)
Do yourself a favor and check out Terminator: Resistance, that game absolutely nails the original feel and atmosphere
It was awful because they went for rating PG-13 instead of R. Agreed Salvation just sucked, Christian Bale didn’t help.
They gotta stop canceling shit. Canceling a series 1/3 of the way thru cause nobody understands the full picture is rediculous (the majority of the complaints of genisys was not understanding the timeline). The directors need to realize that every terminator movie is gonna get hate when it comes out but gets better as time goes on.
Like what? They get a few bad reviews and they cancel the trilogy even if the first movie was profitable. So stupid
Salvation had good ideas and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see them expanded on.
This was the sequel I was expecting around 1986.
The future war, only glimpses of it in Kyle's dreams but that IS what we wanted to see after the chilling horror of 1984s Masterpiece. You nailed the mood and feeling. Superbly done.
I couldn't possibly agree more!
It’s criminal that there hasn’t been a terminator movie set in this type of future war. Salvation wasn’t the future wars we all knew and feared
@@SaladSharkGaming Yeah I don't know what was funnier.
Christian Bale bare knuckle fighting T 800 Arnold or the open air desert tent heart transplant
are there any other video's like this ?
Hollywood is a joke
I think the most impressive part is you perfectly nailed the first person perspective of the machines from the look and the static sound effects, the text, the red screen down to the search mode. It really looks like it was professionally made.
Cheers Wes.
Indeed - I saw and felt the ENTIRE paramilitary and dark aesthetic of the #TERMINATORFutureWar of both T1 (1984) and T2 (1991) in this short flick 🎥📽️ - which even included the long-missing #HunterKiller tanks, which had mysteriously been missing in action after T2. Keep up the good work though; I just love every bit of this! By the way, I was just waiting and hoping for someone to finally aim and shoot a rocket 🚀 launcher/RPG cannon at that last HK air unit; that was right on point! 🍿 PLEASE assist James Cameron in directing T7, T8 and/or any other upcoming TERMINATOR media projects. Take care! 🤖😎🕶️💀🤓🤠
This is truly great and exactly what a new movie should be. I was disappointed by every movie after 2 because I expected each one to be like this. I don't know how an individual can do this but a movie studio with millions of dollars can't. Great work, this is very on-point.
Thank you.
I'm convinced they don't want to make movies where "un-adjusted men" (aka real ones) are an asset, and the "well-adjusted people" (fake, Machiavellian types) are a liability. We're meant to do great things, not just be machines running the furnaces of tyrannical power. We didn't survive the Toba super volcano by being petty and controlling of each other. We had to have worked together to survive that.
@@manictiger There are war movies or shows like "Band of Brothers" that portray other than "well-adjusted men" as an asset. Kyle Reese in "Terminator" is a similar wartime portrayal. But Reese was well adjusted for his mission. So were the soldiers in BoB, insofar as humans could or should be.
During peacetime what would a positive portrayal of a man who isn't "well adjusted" look like? "Tool Man" Taylor? He was a well-meaning buffoon. Jesse Pinkman in "Breaking Bad"? Maybe it's just that war against killer robots has a way of simplifying things.
Insofar as Hollywood is to blame for cultural woes I'd think it's more what they don't make than what they do. We get good takes from big media but only decades after it would've been risky or made a difference. They're asleep at the switch on housing, transportation, and animal rights. We're badly messing up on how we build, how we travel, and how we eat but you'd never know it from the stuff released to theaters or streaming platforms.
@@michaeladdison2609
All of that is over a decade ago.
The problem is you got writers & producers in Hollywood who more than likely have never seen the original film multiple times and so they assume a lot of generic sci-fi stereotypes is what people want. Stupid thing is Terminator: Dark Fate was produced and partly written by JAMES CAMERON ffs. Makes the mind boggle how these once revered director, producer, writer types go so far off the field from source material, especially when it's their own.
Terminator is FAR deeper than standard sci-fi, but that's modern day movies for sure aint it? :/
This is better than T3, Salvation, TG, and TDF combined!!!! Outstanding work!!!! James Cameron would be proud.
Very kind.
James Cameron stands behind TDF so we shouldn't care about his opinion anymore
i think cameron should release a statement about this video. something like 'fabulous work. thats what T3 shouldve been! instead of all those dreadful sequels. including DF for which i sincerely apologise '
@@bozotheclown169 Imo we shouldn't listen to what he says. He is a business man now that lied us once about Genisys, and again with DF.
If he would be a man he was in 80/90s he would never let DF be so bad and so lack of fresh ideas. I'm not going to be fooled by him again :/
Ther are ONLY two terminator films. No clue what the others you mention are!
This took me back to the first Terminator movie. It gave me chills just like the first one. Awesome and nicely done.
Nailed it!! You absolutely nailed it man, this is where T3 should have went, those dark blues and purples of Reece's war nightmares. Well done 👏
Truth! Thanks
This is what we were waiting for....
Not the crap they keep putting out
t3 was good, you're thinking of salvation ;p
Correct.. Salvation felt like an action movie but you throw Terminators in it and stamp the Terminator seal.
It's where T2 should have went instead of being too much unexplained, lovey dovey, sfx filled money making shoot em ups. The tone of the original should have been maintained........
As an obviously huge Terminator fan I loved this. Made a short myself recently with Terminator as something of an inspiration (albeit without the sci-fi sadly)! This was very cool to see, I'd love to see you do more from the Terminator universe.
Many thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it. When a true Terminator fan appreciates it, that’s the real seal of approval. 😎
I'll be back.
@@JamieFMartin can you do some stuff from the aliens Universe specially colonial Marines things
Link?
I love how well shot this is. Right on par with the production of the first two blockbuster movies. I also love how "Kyle Reese" narrates the whole thing straight out of the first terminator movie when he was explaining all this to Sarah.
Thanks John
michael biehn is the man .
@@angelvalle9963 super underrated actor, shame he never did anything really notable after "The Rock"
@@willarterberry3392 Alien 2 ?
@@tonylester3868 uh so The Rock came out 10 years after Aliens.
Absolutely outstanding. As many others have said this is an example of what fans of the franchise want in a new film from the big studios. Great work.
Brilliant visuals and a great ending! but can we all take a moment to just say how awesome Michael Biehn’s monologue still is!!!
It is expertly delivered. Haunting.
I thought that voice sounded familiar
I stumbled upon this. Sir, the use of the 1984 soundtrack and sound effects, the overall look, feel, and tone was the same high I was chasing and trying to find since the first film. You captured that entire speech like a candle slowly going out. Thank you so much for making this 37 year old terminator fan's day.
I just simply could watch an entire hour or more with footage like this, no matter if it has story or not. Just having the experience seeing machines killing humans in the night and those purple plasma rays. Love it. 😅
Completely agree! I just want to soak up this atmosphere.
Great work! This single video kept the tone, atmosphere, and (most importantly) the mystique of the future war scenes we saw in T1 and T2 - keeping everything from the visuals and audio, to the storytelling consistent with what us fans want from Terminator. Whoever made this understands Terminator as a piece of art, and understands what the fans want more than the studios who have released Terminator movies post-T2. It retained the obvious power imbalance between the humans and machines. It didn't have the humans rolling out in large loud groups in the middle of the day. The humans were sneaking around during the cover of night and being quiet, because even a single T-800 can wipe out a large group of humans single handed. It didn't have humans facing off against a massive army of T-800s - keeping the main enemies as the large faceless units.
This is what Terminator: Salvation should have been. Beautiful craft here!
True, Salvation looked more like a cross between The Matrix, Bladerunner, Mad Max, and Transformers than it ever did Terminator.
If someone colour correct that movie and add some purple laser effects it would be a hundred times better already
@@joeesperanto678 Salvation was to be the start of a trilogy leading up to the original. Also, it was NOT anything like The Matrix, Blade Runner, and Transformers. Mad Max was the inspiration for the aesthetics of the timeframe being it was *eleven years* before the Future War of the first two films. Too bad said trilogy plan got scrapped.
@@plaguedoctorjamespainshe6009 Dude, you are aware that Salvation happens *11 years* before the Future War of the first two films, right? It was to be the first in a trilogy leading up to T1 & T2 each becoming more like them. So it was supposed to look a little different in the start.
@@mercenaryknight5419 i know, you can see the moment the studio said "i want this to be one movie and not a trilogy"
Right after the harvester
The plot just rushes to the end
That, honestly, blew my mind.. These lines of Kyle Reese are my favourite. Within just a few minutes he is able to comunicate the world he's coming from. Amazing work,. dude, let's do a kickstarter to do T3 (the real one). take my money, please... and hire Michael Biehn as voice actor, he definetly deserves it.. omg and an evolution of the Brad Fiedel's 1 sound track,.. well basically the T3 we all have been ages waiting for..
Terminator 1 and the future war... the most terrifying! You did a great job!
Cheers
Terminator atmosphere amazing work I'm 40 and grew up watching the movies and this film tapped into that old feeling I had as a kid.
I would literally pay my entire life savings to see a full movie of this. That’s how amazing it is.
Well yeah, I'd chip in $20 too
Noooo, keep your savings
The video game Terminator Dawn of Fate was faithful to T1 and T2.
They barely showed anything. It was just scenery and machines flying around scanning stuff. No actual combat, dialog, characters to care about.
@@maplegrovesafety404 This Was Probably Resistance's First Step Towards Retaliation By Shooting Down A Machine For The First Time (HK Aerial)
I think that's 8mins of everything every terminator fan wanted to see but has never had...until now!
Great job guys!
This is amazing, this is the future that all the fans want to see, a dirty, hopeless, apocaliptic future. Congratulations.
SUPERB! The sense of scale with the focus hazing and wide angles is BRILLIANT!
But I especially love how well you isolated Michael Biehn's (Kyle Reece) monologue and other spoken moments from the first film. The quality of the clean up of audio is astounding.
You should be very proud of this work. As some people have said below already you have made a far better short film than Hollywood made full length with the last 3 or 4.
Terminator, Terminator 2 & Terminator: HUNTER KILLER ALL FTW!
I'd honestly pay to see an extended version of this, not with a hopeful ending, but with a pyrrhic victory, humanity defeating skynet but losing so many in the final battle
I agree 100%. A full scale battle that is a distraction for a small task force unit to infiltrate and bomb Skynets super computer. Though these guys would not make it out alive.
THAT, I could definitely get behind.
This is incredible!!!! Why can't they make Terminator movies like this? Oh yeah......cause Hollywood sucks!
Also, nice to see more from Skynet/Terminator's perspective.
Cheers. I’ve always wondered how a HK sees the world.
Crazy how a shoestring budget and dedication gets you further in capturing the essence of the original than millions of dollars, star actors and entire special effects studios.
Cheers Breeze
When i saw glimpses of the future war in T1 and T2 i hoped a film would focus on the war. Termination Salvation was ok but this short film captures the atmosphere i wanted. Amazing work, incredible what fans can create.
Yeah Salvation just didn't have the right atmosphere. For starters it was way too bright. It didn't feel impressive and hopeless like the war scenes from T1 and T2 did. Its that dark oppressive ambiance littered with death and machines that are nigh unkillable, unstoppable, relentless, that you can't hide from. They don't desire anything, not even your death. It's just a protocol to them, an unwavering fact.
The only solace to be had is that it's not personal. The machines don't hate you or desire your pain or suffering.
I always found the future bits in the movies so cool. The music, sounds of the lasers, the bare T800. Well done. I enjoyed it.
Thanks
This felt real!
This was downright haunting and beautiful. It's a damn shame that Dark Fate finally killed the franchise, because this prequel approach could've worked like a charm. A lot of bizarre shit could've happened in the 2020s prior to the moment Skynet sent the two Terminators back in time, and this short shows what could be possible with that concept. Alas...
I mean, in hindsight, Terminator 3 and Salvation, the continuations we got before Paramount bought out the rights, were not that bad compared to the later entries, weren't they?
Thanks Ben.
@@JamieFMartin Anytime.
Just a Freaking awesome Job exactly shoestring budget 👏 outstanding 👏
@@NebLleb should have said no problemo instead. Missed opportunity.
Salvation wasn't too bad. I enjoyed most of that one.
T3, though? Pretty bad.
This is great. This is what I've always wanted to see, a story based during the actual war, Creepy sci-fi horror vibes. The whole going back in time thing was definitely played out. They came close with Terminator salvation. I know this is just taking inspiration of the pieces of the future war from Reese's narration, but in all honesty, that's the best part of the franchise. Especially the classic laser sounds against the dark blue hue of the post apocalyptic world. And you can't beat that amazing synth score. Definitely wouldn't mind getting another terminator film with THESE elements though.
Cheers
@@JamieFMartin can't wait to see your next work friend! Keep it up!
Wwhhh
never gonna happen
This really is perfect. It’s exactly what I wanted to see since I was a kid, watching the future war scene at the beginning of T2.
They had so much to work with, yet ruined the franchise. This film redeems it, though.
They need to make T1 and T2, the Resistance video game, and this film official canon, and scrap everything else from the story, with all their stupid alternate timelines.
Best cinematography since T2 💯 It's amazing how fans get it right but Hollywood just can't seem to get it
Impressive job! I wish we saw more of James Cameron's future war... This is what terminator 3 should have been!
This is the future war fans wanted in Terminator Salvation. Aerial HKs swooping overhead, Tank HKs rolling over the ruined landscape, laser tracer-fire crisscrossing the scenery as the remnants of mankind fight their desperate war against the machines.
Salvation was to be the start of a trilogy leading up to the original. Salvation happens 11 years before the Future War of the first two films, right? It was to be the first in a trilogy leading up to T1 & T2 each becoming more like them. So it was supposed to look a little different in the start. Too bad said trilogy plan got scrapped.
They actually plan to do a Future War based on Kyle Reese nightmares right after Salvation. They already have the rough scripts drafts and the movie was going to be film right after Salvation premier. But the fans lashed out and the movie flopped and the next 2 movies were cancelled.
A short but memorable classic!! I loved it even better how Kyle Reese is narrating. Also the burned out McDonald's sign is a nice interesting touch
The Metal motherfuckers sign is also good. I wonder is that a reference to TSCC?
Liked the comment about the McDonald's sign. Even the McCafe is on it.
Outstanding work man. As a diehard terminator fan let me say that by doing this you avenged us all. Hollywood could learn a thing or two from you
This is it, this is what many of us were been dreaming of. Every now and then I dream beeing in this kind of scenery, smashing metal freaks. This is what every Terminator fan had ever desired to be offered. This + a nice script, and there you have it. The perfect sequel. I know is near impossible, but thanks to you sir, I can come here and see what marvelous could've been.
That's very kind of you.
Exactly my thought!
This is fantastic. This is how Terminator Salvation should have looked and sounded. I want to make my REESE trailer now. Terminator movies should look and sound like James Cameron originally made them.
Hot damn, that was great to watch! Especially that closing score. I can't distinguish if it's from the movies or not. Plus the animation and how ambiguous the infantry guys are. God I wish this were a show on Netflix
Many thanks. The soundtrack is a new mix I created using instrumentation provided by the wonderful @kosmusic . The final musical piece (when the A-HK is shot down) is a variant of the main Terminator theme.
I'd watch this on tv rather than some anime
Actually, Netflix plan to do a anime terminator series, but you dont gonna like it.. i think
@@JamieFMartin There's gotta be a million cover versions of the Terminator theme all over youtube, and yet NONE of them can touch the mastery that is KOSmusic.
@@Vaporvice84 Agreed. His mastery of recreating synth scores is second to none!
I love anything terminator related, I’m glad there are people who still make awesome content like this for the fans… thanks
This is FANTASTIC. How is it that fan films capture the essence of these franchises WAY better than the Hollywood machine?
Because they are made with heart.
@@MCR123321 Hollywood sucks now, there is no more passion like before
I’d just come across this by accident and I’m just gonna say this was bloody amazing. You’ve totally captured the feel of the original 2 Cameron movies.
This is really, really, really, really impressive. Amazingly well done. I love that you have used Michael Biehns voice. And the vision of the hunter killers is really well done.
Many thanks Thomas.
Can't have Reese without Michael Biehn, you just can't. He is Kylee Reese, time traveler with a green over coat and a shotgun in his hand.
Incredible. No words for this piece made with love and truly respect for the original work. That's what a Terminator sequel should be, thank you.
Brilliant.
8 minutes and better than all the films after T2
👏🏼
This is outstanding! When we the fans start making our own full-length movies it's game over for the big movie studios. We have the technology now to craft our own masterpieces and we possess far more passion and creativity than any of those so-called "experts" in Hollywood. The future of movies has never been brighter! :-D
Whoo heck yeah my favorite part is the Terminators Running toward the Humans that shit Made me feel Scared like an actual Genuine Thrill of Fear with excitement like try that this is epic canon
Heck Yeah! We all have The Technology. But the question is...Can we come together to work on some big projects independently? ( Well, can we? )
@@recordingangelproductionsl3324 exactly. Throwing 3d objects together is one thing. Making a whole movie is well a completely different story :)
That said. Indie films have always been possible. A great movie do not need a lot of advanced CGI or special effects. Basically it just need a gold script a gold director and some gold actors. Good composer is not to bad either to have :)
@@litjellyfish You want to know something? I tried to start a film group where I live. But out here, people don't want to come together to make films.

@@recordingangelproductionsl3324 Perhaps you live in a small town in Ireland, where getting drunk is the norm.
I am absolutly in shock how EPIC this is, and the simplicity (of the story telling) of it makes it even better. How is it possible that a giant movie studio with a 200 miljon budget makes SHIT terminator movies, and a few fans create something this good that i would pay to see more???? 🤯 I left a big fat like and i subcribed. Just in case more of this is made 👍👍👍💪💪💪
Nearly all movies have been infected with woke ideology. Nobody wants to watch them.
Because they keep making the type of movie fans of the first two movies don’t want. They had quite a few bites at the Cherry but found new and surprising ways to screw the pooch
the reason is simple : it is *about* actual, Terminator, the war, and strictly nothing else, no other agenda, political or otherwise. That short is in service in the Terminator universe, a magnificent yet short and simple tribute, no more, no less, it is exactly what it should be and shines in being just that. Hollywood means marketing codes, underlying maintstream ideology and the latest representations that has to be shoved in litterally every single big-budget movie.
easy, because their passion isnt the material or the audience. its the profit margin. your not seen as a person. your seen as a currency to exploit. and the only thing that matters is a bottom line. they could care less about the subject material and creating something worthwhile. thats your basic definition for pretty much the entirety of hollywood today.
@@pyrolazor9458 amen...true that 💥🥇
LOVE how they keep the original style of the first movie it looks more amazing than any of the sequels.
Fantastic work! Just shared!! Ugh so good
This was great!! Movie studios could learn a lot from short films and people who care!
Thanks Hank.
Oh man, you really captured everything in perfectly matching detail, right down to the design of the machines, the way they shine, their IR vision screens, the dust and the colours - how long did you spend just on getting the exact colours, my dude - and that speech, perfectly sets the pace, and the way they shoot is exactly the same almost haphazardly... is there a word for that..? And then the soundtrack perfectly layered on top of it. Ahhhhh dude, this is even more detailed than my nightmares. Why is it film directors can't do this with hundreds of millions of dollars? I hope this is your cv pitch, and I hope they snap you up. Best of luck to you sir.
80s synthesised music, Kyle Reese voice over, dark and scary. This has the proper Terminator feel. Good work!
You already had me with the animation. But then at 2:12 my favorite synth line from T1 kicked in and I can’t hold back how much I love how amazing this whole thing is 👌🏻👌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Am really looking forward to seeing some later works of yours.
Cheers. ‘Music only’ version coming soon
That was excellent . The atmosphere was spot on . Captured everything that Made the future scenes in T1/T2 so memorable , from the bleak landscape to the sense of dread that could only come from fiedels score . More please !
you don't usually see future war scenes where the endos RUN. showing that it is not always a slow march adds a terrifying sense of speed to the already terrifying terminator
An immensive dose of nostalgia.
The music, the color filter, the terminators..
This guy have created a really nice short, a perfect one.
I must share
For the first time I see the best work after Terminator 1984, the details are perfectly recreated, this scene of the future is perhaps the best as a continuation of everything, for me as a fan you have done an amazing job. the music, the sounds is great , thank you very much!!!!
That’s very kind of you to say. I appreciate it
You absolutely nailed the entire atmospheric ideal that Jim Cameron's future war was, the most chilling aspect? That kid in the tunnel who had no idea death was about to come. The fact that 800 had no plasma rifle, straight put thoughts in my head that was absolutely terrifying, which the original Terminator did for me as a kid. So kudos!
Thank you. It’s great to hear that the horror aspects came across on screen.
"Terminator - Resistance"
Excellent game. The real sequel we all wanted. Just a decade or so late. This is just as awesome. Excellent sound, visuals, and great storytelling via placement of very well cut dialogue. It felt longer than 8 minutes. Well done.
Thank you
Wow! This is better than any of the Terminator movies that came after T2. It vibes so well with the style of the first 2 films. I feel this is just 8 minutes of the sequel to Judement Day that we never got to see. Thanks for that. You rock! The studios could learn a thing or two from you. I wish and hope you make a full length Terminator film one day. It would be fantastic!
This is BADASS! The commentary of Reece fits perfectly. Well done!
Cheers.
The Terminator franchise gave us two great films. Shame they didn't go any further.
This short film is a fantastic effort that captures the essence of this franchise.
Could you do this as a series ? Would love to see grounds hk tank fighting resistance on the ground.
Unfortunately it's too much work for little old me to do all on my own.
@@JamieFMartin imagine volunteers at ur disposal 🙃
@@JamieFMartin dude you have gold in your hands ... Show this in Hollywood ... 😶 ... Believe me ! I allways want to see a whole movie like this ...
How in the (out of) world did you do this??!! This is super professional and extremely realistic to the Terminator. I was especially impressed by the scanning modes. So much intricate detail in those segments.
I’m sub’d now!!!
The original Terminator is probably my favorite movie ever and as such I wasn’t expecting much from this video. Unlike many of the other videos I’ve watched I have to say you impressed me! You managed to capture the feel of the original movie and your clever use of the soundtrack and Michael Biehns dialogue really worked! I really think you’ve come closer than anyone to giving us an satisfying and authentic feeling future war experience. Good job! I’d like to see more.
The original film is also my favourite. I wanted to try and capture the tone from that movie; the sheer horror of the future world, humans living like rats, machines ceaselessly hunting us down… just the apparent hopelessness of it all.
Absolutely mind boggling how this person nailed it perfectly, yet big Hollywood studios and all their money and connections can't get anywhere close to what us fans really want to see from the Terminator franchise.
This is brilliant !
I have to say - that was 8 minutes of intensity. Scary place to be
James Cameron would be proud - I loved it!
Damn! A film that we all need to see. This is beyond incredible.
Thank you for bringing out what the future war is really meant to look and feel like. Well done!
Thank you.
Amazing work. What's also amazing is that no Hollywood Terminator sequel in 30 years has made something that looks like this.
Absolutely amazing work, that atmosphere, that music, this is the real Terminator essence / Feeling, thanks for an amazing short experience for all terminator fans
Amazing. This fits perfectly like a prequel to the future shown in Terminator Resistance.
Just brilliant, Imagine this guy had a production team, the mind boggles. Amazing amazing work.
Thank you kindly
Goes to prove that a huge budget isn't needed. Just a creative vision true to the source material. Not shitting all over the legacy that made it great, unlike what we get today. Excellent job at capturing the look and feel of the original.
Thanks John
The Music really Completes it!! You cannot authenticate a Terminator film of any kind without those dark tunes. It really pulls you officially into the universe of The Terminators 💚💚💚💚 Very well done everybody!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I once had a nightmare that I was a survivor in the Terminator apocalypse. Like a rat in a junkyard. The Resistance started putting up a fight in my area. I remember being mad at the Resistance and wanting them to go fight somewhere else, because they were attracting HKs. I took cover in a library, between the shelves. Two HK tanks rolled through the library, driving straight through the walls and shelves. Then the fighting outside ended, and one of the HK tanks came to a stop just one bookshelf away from me. I could hear it there. With nothing to kill and no imminent mission, it went into standby and just sat there. Being a machine, it could sit there for hours, days, weeks -- until it detects a target or gets new orders. And since I was so close to it, I was stuck. If I tried to move, it would detect and kill me. So, I had to stay there, hidden and perfectly still, waiting for it to leave. If it never left, I'd likely starve. In that moment, I found myself hoping the Resistance would come and distract it.
That's the kind of Terminator movie we need. Suspense, survival horror.
0:16 the soldiers of the future should make body armour out of the same material they make toy dolls out of - that stuff can survive a nuclear explosion
Amazing, astonish vision and very respectful of "James Jim" Cameron> Terminator , congrats. I hope so to see an eventually new chapter in some time...
Excellent lighting and physics. The way the HK dropped out of the air at the end was very satisfying. Promising stuff!
This is what annoys me. More passion and a far superior product than an “official” production with millions of dollars behind it. If only Hollywood still cared
This is really excellent! Even the sound effects and music is on point! 💯
Cheers. I really tried to capture the vibe of the future war, particularly from the first movie - sound-effects and all.
Wow. The future-war scenes we wanted in every movie after T2. For some reason (I guess trying to be different and new?) they kept drifting away from this aesthetic ever since "Salvation". Maybe it would have gotten old, but it's a visual touchstone. A signature. You instantly know where you are. This is 8 minutes of future-war bliss. Thanks so much.
I LOVED Salvation, the designs were phenomenal, but some review I watched nailed what had always been bugging me: too much daytime action, and Markus steals the show. Also his rebellion is silly - Skynet could just make him obey and the chip in the neck flaw, wtf? Designed by that death star engineer?
But some scenes in Salvation are legendary. And Christian Bale was dope. I'm so sad they ditched the trilogy.
@@luketimewalker no kidding. When the T-800 appeared I was floored. I even liked the explanation for John Connor's scar, though I always saw it as a battlefield wound. I was just happy they acknowledged it.
These 8 min by far was much better than Rise of Machines, Salvation, Genesis and Dark Fate, amazing work!
This is better than all the new movies they pumped out.
Hey! 🙃We made a funny Terminator Parody using AI. We'd be so happy if you check it out and tell us if you enjoyed it.🍿🎬
