This isn't a bad film, but viewers shouldn't go into it expecting action. I thought it was an interesting look at how people might respond to tragedy and being isolated for long periods.
This was an excellent addition to the franchise. I appreciate the idea of wiping out everything post T2. The first was excellent. T2 was amazing. While I didn't hate T3, the rest went off the rails a bit -- with the worst being Genesis.
While some may have expected too much from the movie, the rankings of ones and twos are silly. After reading the reviews, I almost didn't go. That would have been a big mistake. While this lacked some of the magic of Terminator 2, it was an excellent movie in its own right, and it was the best sci fi movie I have seen in quite some time.
This movie had a lot going for it. It had an excellent bad guy (I loved the new terminator model), some some excellent protagonists, and well crafted CGI -- I don't get why anyone would claim this had bad CGI. What was bad? Not much.
I eagerly awaited the return of Linda Hamilton's character; Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed by this aspect of the movie -- I really liked her character when she first emerged, but the excitement waned. Was this a re-hash of the plot of T2? I guess, but who cares. When you are following up on a monster of a film, I think it would be difficult to come up with any great plot twists.
I suggest don't go with the expectation of seeing the best Terminator movie yet. Go to see a good action/sci fi movie. If you are like me, you will not be disappointed. Clearly, this movie was not as good as T2, but that movie was a 10. However, this movie is still excellent. To the folks that rated this a 1 or a 2, and to those that said it was worst than Genesis, really???
This isn't your old Star Trek. Some Trek pursits will be stunned at the flawed nature of some of the major characters. As a long time Star Trek watcher, I find the change was much needed in the franchise. Most of the eposodes in the first year were quite good (there were a couple of weak areas). I am surprized at the many one star written reviews. Don't let the negative reviews get you down. The one star reviews are silly and I don't really get what their problem is with the series.
