Where do I have to start.... Um...
This movie is okay at best. Not great. Not terrible. As a "sequel" to T1 ans T2 though, it's bad, really really bad.
From the moment they killed off John Conner from the get go I know this is not going to be good, and sure enough it's not good.
Let's start with the positives though. Arnold Schwarzenegger is fantastic in this movie. He's once again the shining beacon of good in this sea of mediocrity. Linda Hamilton is great. Makenzie Davis though. Yeah, that girl from The Martian? She's great in this movie. Her looks isn't great though she looks like Justin Beiber if he's a woman. The new girl though, Dani Ramos, she's bad. In some scenes she's great, others she's unconvincing. The new Terminator is great, BUT it feels like the idea of TX from Terminator 3 but done "slightly" better. The music is meh too, feels very quiet and not much else. The CGI though.... It's very bad in some scenes. It took me out of the movie immediately.
The plot though... It feels like T1 and T2 put into a blender while adding unnecessary and uninspired stuff. That's this movie. Some scenes felt really like they just replicate the scene from T1 and T2. They add really nothing new to the story. You got your Terminator, you got your guardian, you got your first car chase, you got some slow character building moments, you got the big finale, you see the pattern already? Some scenes are also odd, unexplained and made no sense. Like, how could a Terminator can feel emotion? That already contradicted what Kyle Reese said in T1.
This is easily the most mediocre Terminator movie post T2 I've ever seen. At least T3, Salvation and Genisys had something new to offer. This one feels like T1 and T2 for the new generation, but we've seen this already. And it's sad.
To be frank, I'm actually prefer Genisys over this not gonna lie. Everyone hated that movie, but I still do love Genisys. At least it offered fresh new ideas rather than a rehash
