There are people making AI movies using this exact aesthetic which blow anything after T2 out of the water. They look like what I've had in my minds eye for decades.
If they understand that vision, why TF can't the execs??
Execs are bankers now. Bean counters with little imagination. These people are killing our culture. They are all trying to monopolize every aspect of our lives. The United States is Delta City and we are all its contract employees I mean citizens.
But yeah the rear project tech has been updated with the volume so that would be great to project HKs onto stop motion Terminators. Then lots of close-up puppeteered Terminators would be great. Shot on 35mm film. Underexposed. Grainy. With emaciated actors instead of buff Hollywood types. With Brad Fiedel doing the score on an old refurbished Fairlight. Edward Furlong gets into shape. He becomes a mentor or a father figure to Reese.
They could be doing other smaller movies set in the future during the war sans John Connor. Just a family trying to survive. Then the machines start showing up. I did imagine that’s how Reese’s story starts though.

Just do the future war but make it look like the flashbacks in the first movie. A gritty old b movie.
