I will say this is better then T3 and T4. However it does not hold up against T1 and T2. Before you see this movie, you have to ask yourself, what expectation do you have for T5. If you want a redeemer and see a good sequel for T2, you will be disappointed. Do you want to spend 2 senseless hours in-front of a big screen, you will have a descent time.
I liked the beginning, which shows a time line where sky-net started to blow up humanity in 1997. They pictured the future very well. We finally see how people get send back in time.
I had no problem with most of the casting and acting in this movie. Emilia Clarke was a good Sarah Connor. Jai Courtney was alright as Kyle Reese. i don't think he did a bad job. I really liked Jason Clarke as John Connor. I remember the young John from T2 and he was fun and cocky. I could see this in this future adaptation of John.
The problems in this movie is the plot holes, the cliché forced love scene (wich they themselves point out as being stupid during the movie), and sometimes bad chemistry between the leads. ¨ My biggest problem with this movie is Arnold Schwarzenegger and everything around his character. It was PAINFUL at times. Not funny, not catchy, not clever. Just embarrassing, shameful, pointless, emotionless. Arnold's one-liners where painfully bad. "old, not obsolete". "Not dead, upgraded". There was no terminator learning humans emotions threw Arnold's body. It was a old man trying to play something he is not.
In the end, when you add the finale, the characters, the message, you get only 1 word in your mind: Emotionless.
