I would be interested in seeing a reimagining of the Terminator for modern day. A whole new movie that takes place in a different timeline where the original story never existed.

I have no interest in the where the story of the current franchise has gone.

I was discussing this recently with someone. I feel that as the franchise continues, their good action films but bad Terminator stories. Genisys was the low point for me so far.

It feels like the Star Wars problem, we’ve had nine films based around the Skywalker’s and look how that ended up. I feel that Terminator needs to drop the John Connor anchor and approach from a different angle

I know John Connor is the centre of the franchise lore but I feel we’ve exhausted that avenue of story telling. Although I just remembered they killed him off in the beginning of Dark Fate but that film still had issues.

I’d wonder what’s prompted this. Is it the recent AI tech hype? If so, revisiting some AI apocalypse material might not be the worst idea right now however tired the franchise might be.

can we just let franchise films die before being milked to death?

Knowing Cameron, he’s probably working to implement and build real terminators, then plans on releasing them and making the next release more of a “docu-drama”.

You know, for realism.
