1. There's another Ice Age movie coming out?

I didn't like the first Ice Age so the third one will probably be pretty bad. I think the new Pixar movie will do better than estimated. Pixar movies seem to always do well.

I don't plan to see any of these movies. I may go to the new Terminator movie but I'm not sure yet.
