  Bloody film studios. Risk alienating adults / fans of the early movies just so they can earn a few extra quid, filling the seats with kids...grrr. Would be a nice idea if on home release an uncut version of this was released and the rating bumped up to a more sensible level for a terminator movie. Its like the 3rd Taken movie. Sounds as though that has been chopped to pieces so the studio could secure a 12a rating. Whats Liam gonna do, engage in a pillow fight or two lol.

  While I agree that cutting some of the scenes from the original films would bastardise them and make them terrible you can still make a film work with the lower age rating.
  
  And the problem with this film isn't going to the age rating, its the pissing on the good stuff from the original 2 films.

  I cant say with absolute certainty but im struggling to recall an instance where the lowering of an age rating on a sequel / reboot / rehash has had a positive impact on my enjoyment of a film. Its a Terminator film, we need to see people being bumped off / knocked about to the extent of the first couple of movies. Its having a snowball effect for me beacuse its not only the liberties that this Terminator is going to take with the original movies but also the lack of proper, in your face violence. Dont pander to the kids or the studios bank accounts, make the kind of terminator movie we deserve to see (the powers that be do kinda need to make ammendsafter the last two..T3, O.K ish in parts, Salvation..urgh).

  I don't think there has ever been a case where lowering the rating of an 18 rated film series has worked, Terminator Salvation, Die Hard 4, Robocop, even the remake of total recall (one repeated criticism was the rating) and Expendables 3 (sly himself admitted lowering the rating was a bad idea).
  Some stories just need an adult rating to be able to do the story right, a film about a killer robot sent back in time to kill someone (and the future where humanity is being wiped out by killer robots) is one of those.

  Plus, sex scenes. We better see Kyle and Sarah doing it in this film!

  Potato...you just wanna see daenerys targaryen get her tits out, dont you (not that theres anything wrong with that, it never did Game of Thrones any harm plus shes gorgeous), who wants to see Jai Courtney get his kit off though. Not me lol.

  This is retarded. They have made the same stupid mistake in the previous movie - showing way too much plot twists. In Terminator: Salvation they have reviled in the trailer that [spoiler]Sam Worthington's character is a terminator[/spoiler] and now it seems that they are taking exactly the same road with Jason Clarke - another non human. ARGH! The moment James Cameron has decided not to continue working on the series they should have let it die.

  Honestly think this looks terrible, the plot twist shown the trailer (which was a bad idea really), just destroys the one consistent plot point that even the previous poor sequels had. And having Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese (or any character required to do more than stand there emotionless) is idiotic. Can't say the lower rating being good either, hard to show killer robots properly when they can't show blood.

  The 12a rating, Jai fucking Courtney being in this, a trailer that appears to reveal way too much and a plot that spits in the face of certainly the first 2 movies. What was the studios remit, too take an iconic movie series and blow it too hell. I may be being overly harsh but other than the fact that it looks kinda pretty and its got Danaerys in it, im not liking the look of this.
