It was good, probably the best terminator sequel, and I agree about watching the other terminator movies beforehand or you will be confused as hell

Saw it today. I didn't see as many references to 3 as there were to 1 and 2 (at least directly). It's official, timeline is fubar now. And there will be more if there was any doubt. Besides the ending, you did stay for the mid credits scene, right?

IMO, it does seem like they sacrifice the CGI for the story. When Cameron shot 2, you knew liquid metal wasn't real but it looked real. By 3 it was more "action" than story. This one was action at a good pace, but a lot of shots you could tell were green screens that could have been cleaned up better to look more real, if not plausible. I know in part it's the way we keep aging actors in the franchise (along with film insurance/budgets/etc) but it just seems to be sacrificing being timeless to remain current.

Overall, great fun flick though.

I went with my Wife on Thursday. I expect kids there because school is out. But it ended up being " Lonely Guy Day".
About 10 middle age men with large buckets of popcorn each one came alone.
Yes, the time line is all messed up. The actress that played Sara Conner looked too young. There was too much dialog between Sara and Reese. The CGI I didn't really notice as the action scenes moved fast.
Still a Great Summer Movie

I liked it

I was thinking about selling the Barrett, but my son talked me out of it.

He said Dad how will we kill the Terminators

I guess the Barrett is just part of the family

I dont even remember 3 but saw this one and liked it. If I missed any references it didnt seem to ruin it for me. I also liked the christian bale movie but liked how this flowed with the originals.

A part of me kept waiting for her to call in the dragons to fight the terminators.

A lot of people who saw the trailer are pissed as it gave away the whole movie.

spoilers do not bother me, you could tell me the ending of every movie that will ever come out and I dont care. But others do care.

Did you not stay after the credits????

Saw it and thought it was just ok. Not great. Id watch it again, but wouldnt push over a basket of puppies to get in line.
Saw it with a chich that Ive been talking to and she had never seen a Terminator before. She liked the love story par of course.

Skynet is inevitable.

They need to prevent Skynet from interfering in the past to give itself unfair advantage and to prepare for Judgment Day so that they give themselves an unfair advantage.

I saw it. I fucking loved it. Old Arnie has still got it.

We enjoyed it. Not as good as 1 or 2, but a lot better than 3 and 4.
Loved that they paid tribute to the TV show.

How did they do that? Keep in mind I only saw a couple episodes of the TV show.

Thanks,

As a standalone movie, it was well done, funny, and enjoyable. As a part of the terminator franchise? It completely ruined it for me. I felt like I went to see a terminator movie and wound up in a one-liner sitcom.

I don't want to post spoilers, but the plot elements really ruined the movie for me. It was predictable, but the certain plot elements regarding John Connor really ruined it for me.

I wish they had just continued with the Salvation series like they had planned to. That movie was so much better. I ignore T3 and Genisys as even existing. Much like episode I-III of star wars.
