Alright Back to Bourne

Oh thank god, Brian's here to save the day! This thread was about to get swept up in a tsunami of salt but praise be, you've arrived!

Unfortunately, now that the talk is back to Bourne, it appears no one is interested. The thread went dark all week. .

I think this attraction is going to benefit from being underestimated.

Aww, just like my favorite children's book, "The Little Matt Damon That Could"!

Maybe after the success of this attraction, Matt Damon will finally get to appear on Kimmel!

Will this show surpass Terminator?

Yes or No?

Yes or No?

Too soon to tell for sure, but I definitely hope so.

For as stale as many critics think this IP is, I still enjoy the Bourne movies a lot, and there's definitely a lot of opportunity and promise here. @Alicia spoke on her podcast of the original Mini Cooper from the movie and a full-size helicopter prop possibly being used; if so, I think that'd be the biggest theme park power move of all time.

Yes or No?

Imo? Yes. It will take terminators best parts (the live action/screen interaction) and make it the whole show. I loved Terminator when it was well kept, but I’d be lying if I said the normal 3D film portion of it wasn’t pretty bad overall.

 

[GAcoaster]

From all I've heard this is the next generation of the Terminator show-- just as cutting edge as Terminator was when it debuted (and it was amazing!)

We have almost nothing to go on except that it has the potential to.

Personally, I think T2 will be hard to beat as it ticked a lot of the right boxes for me, especially when it was brand new.

 

[belloq87]

I think there's every chance Stuntacular may end up being more technically impressive than T2 was.

However, I have much more affection for the first two TERMINATOR movies than I do for any of the BOURNE installments (despite liking the first three quite a bit), and that still counts for a lot for me.

There is equity in the Terminator franchise for us classic Universal fans...

I will accept Bourne as a worthy succesor though if it delivers on its promise of bluring reality and screen based action.

 

[GAcoaster]

One of the things Universal really was a pioneer of in their theme parks was a stunt show. Right now they have no stunt show at all in the Florida parks. Honestly the IP won't matter to most guests, they just want a stunt show that's really impressive. The fact that it's indoors and air conditioned is an even bigger plus.

So Dark Fate flopped opening week with only 29 mil. So can put the bed the Terminator IP being relevant.

 

[Cwoolboy]

Terminator 2 3-D definitely set a high bar. I did get to see it when all effects weren't working, but it always impressed and wow-ed. Remains the best Terminator sequel post T2. Hopefully Bourne blows me away. We'll see.

People are so fatigued by Terminator movies. It is a shame that so many bad movies came out before this one because Dark Fate is excellent!! It is a nice trilogy of the original two. Hoping word of mouth increases tickets sales!
