It's In The Name

With the fourth installment of the Terminator franchise, Salvation, yet to hit theaters (May 22, 2009) you wouldn't think Sony and Warner Brothers would already be discussing plans for a fifth, let alone sixth movie, but you'd be wrong.

In fact these entertainment giants have already green lighted the fifth film and even signed Christian Bale (John Connor) for all three films.

There's just one really big problem with a new set of films, and that is a little show currently running on FOX called The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Rumor has it that Salvation picks up after the events of the third film, Rise Of The Machines, but this ends up conflicting with The Sarah Connor Chronicles which takes place prior to Rise Of The Machines. See everything done in the past ultimately changes the future, so this little TV show, is going to complicate matters more than some may realize.


Another problem that will arise, is that when you go to the movies to see a Terminator flick, you expect to see the original terminator himself Arnold Schwarzenegger. There's a smaller budget when producing a TV series so people understand that the big name actor will end up being a no show.

Something else to consider for Christian Bale is that he may have to give up the role of Batman due to the filming schedules. Though after that last performance, that would be okay too.

There is always the possibility that these new movies will be a huge success, but we wouldn't want to bet our money on that. -GJ

One Trailer, Several Complaints

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last couple of years, you've heard about the new Star Trek movie, and recently have probably seen the first trailers.

If you're a normal movie goer who enjoys the occasional Sci-Fi flick you didn't see anything wrong with this movie, but true Trek fans have already begun pointing out mistakes.

The biggest mistake/complaint is the relationship between Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto). The problem is Spock appears to work under Capt. Kirk to start his career, however this is incorrect because Spock was under Capt. Chris Pike prior to Kirk. For those of you that missed it though, Capt. Pike does actually appear in this film, in what capacity is yet to be seen.

This other complaint is a little ridiculous even for us. People are actually complaining about the insignias on the shirts. For some it's the wrong insignia (a complaint we've read on several forums), and for others it's the fact that the insignia appears on the wrong side of the shirt in a couple of quick shots.

Others spend good amounts of time making sure that everyone knows the new actors look nothing like the originals and they're not happy about it.

A two minute trailer gives us all this; can't wait until the actual movie. - GJ

Money Waster

So for those that haven't heard, or haven't been to scifi.com this week, FOX has announced that they will be beaming their new movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still" into space on opening day, 12/12/08.

The transmission is set to be aimed towards Alpha Centauri. There's just one little problem with their aim; the time it takes to reach Alpha Centauri will actually put Alpha Centauri out of the transmissions range.

Everything in space is in constant motion, and since we're talking about FOX, we all know that they have not considered this.

And for those of you that are panicking that we are showing possible ways for an alien race to attack the Earth, take a deep breath, and remember, if they have the ability to space travel, they don't need our help in planning our destruction.

Editor's Note

FOX can afford to beam a brand new movie into space, but claimed that it was just too expensive to produce an episode of FIREFLY, am I the only one who has a problem with this? - GJ
