The big read, so to speak.
|
 |
Big read? Well... since you are probably here as a (potential) Terminator fan... we're sure you'll flip right through the detailed
information and suck it up with eager anticipation. (So did we ;)
Main info
Whom ever is interested in getting a lot more info on subjects related to the Terminator Saga,
has to read the following articles. We've collected a few, made some for ourselfs, got documents send in by other fans
...and are looking into getting a lot more. These articles range from reviews of the movies, information on (post-)
production, artificial intelligence, warfare, and other very 'dry' and 'theoretical' information.
» Artificial Intelligence
Interesting articles about AI. The pros and cons to these developments and most importantly... that we still have a long way
to go for this to ever happen. Sure, lots of stuff as seen in movies eventually see the light of day, but we hope that the
Terminator universe never becomes a reality ;).

» Schwarzenegger
Though the 'main man' behind the Terminator movies, there aren't many articles on him in this section. Probably because he is spread
so much amongst the others, or that this is the only special article we could find. Got any to share about the true and only Terminator
himself? Then contact us and we will add it to these articles.
Articles:
- An about-face for Schwarzenegger
» Special Effects
Where would these Terminator movies be, without the SFX used? Its a science fiction movie and the equivalent of sci-fi is special effects.

» Terminator 2: Judgment Day
The best sequel ever made to any movie. The bigger part of the fan community even thinks T2 is the best of the whole series. Who can

» T:SCC - The Sarah Connor Chronicles
A FOX TV-series featuring an entire new cast that focusses on the story of Sarah Connor, her son and a teenage Terminator called
Cameron (coincidence?). Not many fans are prone to see their beloved Terminator movies turned into a TV-series and hope that
it does not downgrade it. Others just love what they are doing to it. How devided are you?

» Timetravel
The movies are all about travelling back to the past, trying to change the future. But is one did change the future, the entities
in that future can not go back in the past again, to change the future. Can Skynet even exist if it did not sent the chip of the
first Terminator back... or how can it sent itself back if it was not designed before it could sent itself back. Paradoxes. The
'chicken or the egg' things. Read more below!
