Back when we first heard that Terminator 4 would be a full on Terminator future war movie, fans imagined something great; something that James Cameron had shown Terminator Fans glimpses of in The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. What we got instead was a future war which resembled nothing like James Cameron had teased us with – the result being Salvation, not the worst Terminator movie but also not the future war the fans deserved either.
TERMINATOR: HUNTER KILLER (‘Future War’ Short Film)
Sometimes all it takes is a fan to do what the studios won’t… which brings us to an unofficial project, proof of concept by concept / 3D artist Jamie Martin, which manages to achieve what movies have failed to do all these years; and that is to give Terminator Fans the future war they asked for.
“TERMINATOR: HUNTER KILLER is a proof-of-concept short film, set in the future war of the Terminator-movie universe, as the humans struggle to survive in the post-apocalyptic wasteland following ‘Judgment Day’.”
Jamie Martin
The short film shows a world ruled by SkyNet and its machines. The true blue, dark and gritty future war is on full display and all that’s left to do is just sit back and soak up the atmosphere and imagery of the Terminator movie James Cameron could have made (but just didn’t, due to copyright and people pissing in his soup).
What do you think of Jamie Martin’s short film?
