gridloreThey're making yet another Terminator movie.
Folks, the original, low budget classic was perfect. It was a brilliant closed loop time travel story that tied everything up. At the end we understand everything, the picture, who John Connor is, and the end of the war.
Yes, the end of the war. From the script, while Reese is being interrogated:
Reese goes on to point out that the machines sent one Terminator through. The Resistance sent Kyle through and then blew the time machine up. See? One man, one machine, nobody else.
So why the hell were there sequels? (Yes, I know, money, but seriously... the story ended!)

Yes, the end of the war. From the script, while Reese is being interrogated:
Dr. Silberman: Why this elaborate scheme with the Terminator?
Kyle Reese: It had no choice. Their defense grid was smashed. We'd won. Taking out Connor then would make no difference. Skynet had to wipe out his entire existence!
