Wokeness aside (and it takes big effort already), the film is very unoriginal, with poor casting choices. A sequel I did not really want, that bored me to death. Oh, and then there is the wokeness...

This movie was just... stupid! I mean, if you like CGI action scenes, then go ahead and watch it... but if you like smart plot with good acting and good one liners then don't watch this mess... 4 out of 10...

Tasteless remake of a once good movie. Rewriting the timeline just to offer a "different" future ... where the only difference is [spoiler]the name of the AI wiping humanity, from the iconic Skynet to an unknown Legion[/spoiler]... And the movie lacks in something very important, some might call it the backbone of every movie: a story. You litterally just see people running from a new and improved and obviously totally invincible Terminator for the whole movie, nothing else beside one or two flashback to the future which are kind of useless... Linda Hamilton is a total badass... until she takes off her glasses, and magically become an old, tired and annoyed woman. Schwarzie is there... to remind us it is a sequel and not a pure reboot, i guess. The movie remains watchable and somehow enjoyable if you're very nostalgic or if you never saw T2: Judgment Day.

To understand my response to this movie, I need you to understand my history with this franchise. In 1984, a movie came out that I thought I would never be the least bit interested in. I went to see it because my youth group was talking about it and, as their Minister of Christian Education, and their youth leader, I was always interested in interacting with them about the media they consumed so I could challenge their worldview with the cause of Christ. I was completely astonished to fall in love with the love story that was, surprisingly, at the heart of this weird, mechanical, apocalyptic movie. It became one of my favourite movies and I’ve seen it multiple times since then and it still moves me. That movie, of course, was THE TERMINATOR, a straight up 10 out of 10. I have since followed every subsequent addition to the franchise, including the very good TV series, TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES (starring Lena Headley). When this newest piece premiered, revisiting the woman that was the heart of that original movie, now 35 years later, I was at the first viewing of it, with great expectations. And, I found the true character arcs that first drew me to THE TERMINATOR: Sarah Connors (Linda Hamilton) hardened by the fight and grief, rediscovering her purpose, T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) conditioned by years of contact with humans, redeeming his mistakes; Grace (Mackenzie Davis) the self sacrificing warrior, Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes) finding herself in the echos that call Sarah back to herself. It was all there, plus a stellar threat and some wicked action sequences. So I, unapologetically, give this film a 9 (nostalgic superb) out of 10. [Pre-Apocalyptic Action]

Very disappointing, bad idea, bad acting this movie is the dark fate of the terminator franchise,
