If I have the ideas presented in all the T4 movie trailers we've seen so far correctly then, I believe what is happening in T4 is a new and different immediate future which means you are to ignore now what you saw in the first two films as happening in the distant future. Something has changed and a result has allowed Skynet to get the upper hand earlier on now with newer better tech than the previous alternate futures in the past films. This means any look into 2029 is going to be different than before (we have not had a look into this new 2029 yet - for all we know there would be no Hunter/Killers at all by then) and thus, not inconsistent - no reason to "pre-hate" this movie then on those grounds.It's actually a very intriguing new concept.What does bother me a little bit is, after seeing this latest trailer it all looks like this new Terminator Trilogy is going to be based on an already used concept and because of that might not be as exciting as I first hoped if this new twist is based on that recycled idea. I speak of the remade Battlestar Galactica tv series where the Cylons have made themselves into human beings and to try and take over and replace the human race with the least amount of damage to themselves (helping assure their success even more) by inserting these latest model Cylons into the remaining surviving human populace with them not even being aware that they are Cylons themselves.Again it's a great concept but it's been done already and I hope this new trilogy isn't going to be dependent on this as their main new story twist.
