You know the funniest part about this article is the fact that neither of the two stated reasons to watch The Day the Earth Stood Still has anything to do with the movie itself, lol.

Personally, those two trailers are still not enough to convince me to shell out the $8 for that idiotic movie. I’ll just watch them when they hit the internet… If I wanted to hear the senseless ranting of hippies I’ll call my cousin in Berkley and ask her to put one of those Code Pink morons on the line… That’s free with my cell phone service.

No Chris,,, T3 rocked forget Ken J and his twisted views ,,,,

First off Skynet uses spy satellites to track the resistance as they are all underground in military installations…
Its the unlucky others on the surface that are rounded up, and killed off…
Also the HK Tanks in T2. Would have been equipped with all kinds of surveillance options…
(Imo)
The oversized Harvester is to high tech for 2029,,, as it took Skynet several decades to construct the infiltration cyborgs…unless the timeline has been adjusted for this MCG trilogy… Or just adjusted to look flashy like Charlies Angels.

How strange to get a Star Trek reboot and a Terminator reboot in the same month!??

LOL @ metallicat

@ Jess and Lank

Better than T3 = not saying much, lol. I think that trailer of a trailer alone was already better than watching T3…

The Big one at the end looks stupid

Im not a huge terminator fan but I proablay will end up seeing this as long as it doesn’t suck like T3 but it wont take much to be better then that.

The transformer at the end does indeed look a tad unbelievable considering the near-future setting. But overall I’m quite excited about this… it’s got to be better than T3 (which won’t take much). I do like that gritty silvery look they’ve been banging on about too.

Well, I don’t know what to say about the issue with eyes, I agree, but if you want to go with that argument, then EVERYTHING should really have eyes everywhere. I mean, the technology exists where you can see through thin objects, meaning even the human looking Terminators should have some kind of thermal or infrared sensors behind them so they can see if someone is sneaking up on them. They don’t HAVE to see out of their EYES just because that’s how we see things. But these movies are made by people, and sometimes it’s hard for us to invent things that are too unlike us. That’s why aliens almost always still have two legs and two arms and a head with eyes on it. The chances of life developing in another planet independently from us and ending up with the same basic structure is astronomical.

But alas, what I can comment about is the bipedal design. I’m not making excuses for the filmmakers, because most likely this was not their reasoning. But the only reasoning I can think of is that since there appears to still be buildings standing, having large legs can allow for travel over these structures, or through them. But in the sites closer to the destruction where it is nothing but rubble, having tracks could allow for faster travel and they don’t need legs because there aren’t any major standing structures left.

But like I said, most likely the movie makers made that because they think it looks cool, lol. And I doubt it will have any more camera’s or “eyes” other than the ones where you would think a head should be…
