4. Make A Movie With Some Actual Human Drama - The Terminator
I'm not sure how, exactly, the associated filmmakers are planning on making a fifth Terminator movie that somehow reboots the series and gives Arnold Schwarzenegger a starring role, but that's apparently what's happening, and we'll have to just frown ourselves silly until we find out what it all means. Regardless of that aspect, though, there is one key element inherent to the old, good Terminator films that the most recent ones lacked: human drama. Think about it. The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day were about people just as much as they were about killer robots - the sense of threat to our human being heroes (human beings who we knew cared about one another) is what made it work. We didn't want the Terminator to kill Sarah and Kyle in the first movie because we wanted to see them together. In the sequel, we liked the Terminator because James Cameron made him feel real... like a human being. He made us care about a robot like he was people! There was no emotional core to Terminator Salvation; it failed to realise the one aspect that made the other entries so likeable.
