Sorry, this movie sucks
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I know it's not a huge favorite but no idea so much hate was being given to this movie. I loved the redux of a familiar and well loved plot of the original Terminator being twisted after several scenes completely the same. We get to see a little more backstory of future John Connor and Kyle Reese. We see the events leading up to the tactical time machine weapon being used. And while no one can ever replace the original actors portraying the characters, I feel like this new version of the movie series represents the heart of the series haunting refrain: the future is not set. This could be one of the many potential futures triggered by time travel. Arnold reprises his titular character. His character in his original youth - cgi special effects looking both plastic and odd but also fitting his robotic character. In a scene where we all know and love to see the 80's punks getting their butts beat up and killed, we see it interrupted by a much older, and grayer, Arnold. The younger plastic Arnold attacks, and we enjoy a fight between them.Later we see Kyle Reeces arrival and what starts out faithfully recreated also contains a new twist. Finally after a near death experience and a rescue, the plot is tweaked again, and we discover the rescuer is none other than Sarah Connor. I don't want to keep giving way the plot, so will only say that events and plot develop into an exciting movie. Give this a shot. Don't expect it to be a faithful and complete scene for scene recreation of the movie. And I'm thankful for that. I didn't want another remake but I think for this series with time travel being an integral part of the mythos that it makes sense. Great acting, decent writing and dialogue and limited exposition along with strong special effects support the plot. While many hate this movie, I applaud it. Is it perfect? Oh no. Never that. But. It's solid. And enjoyable. And I'm looking forward to this new version and future movies with same characters returning to delight me.
How on earth did Emilia clark got the role of Sarah connor? She is an awful actress.
This is a great history and Arnold is back in the mood as we know him. Hopefully he will make more Terminator movies in the future.
I just caught this on FX for the first time. I'm not a fan of remakes, especially anything beyond the "sequel" level. This is about the 5th installment of the Terminator Franchise so I didn't expect much, but if you are in the mood for an Action movie, it will satisfy your entertainment desires.There is plenty of cool action sequences, and surprisingly, the movie has an emotional aspect to it like the original two classics. However, nothing can compare to the first 2 in quality overall. There are a couple of scenes where they "drop the ball" in cannon to the original movies, but I guess if it was for a few laughs, you can't complain much. There were some really funny scenes in it, and Arnold has his "one liners", which was good to see.Emilia Clarke does a good job despite having to live up to high expectations. Compared to the comic book movie genre that has flooded the film industry, I'd say a quality return to the original Terminator franchise for action movies is much better.7.5/10
