This movie is a 12 episode series stuffed into one movie. You should never stuff 12 pounds of story into a 3 pound bag!

So, I want to apologize because I hated this movie so hard when it came out. Today I am more accepting of it.

On the other hand, the story is so confusing, everything is so stuffed and no breathing time.

I think the writers found a discarded Terminator series from a good writer or stolen from them and said: we can't make 12 great episode, we are going to stuff it all into one movie.

The robots convey fear but it does so right in your face with words instead of actions.

The terminators should not speak human language. They should only use it when speaking with humans and it should only be in the most mechanical way possible, no emotions, no feelings.

This movie tries so desperately to set up sequels before it even introduced its characters.

It didn't Bomb because Arnold was not in it. It bombed because the writing room was full of beginner writers. No one to take the lead, no one to tell them: this isn't fanfiction or Terminator 2. You all have to see Terminator 1 AND ONLY comics about terminator 1.

Once you hit lightning in a bottle, then you can say: let's write sequels...

The story is nice but everyone is stupid. John Connor is so stupid in this movie. He makes the worst decisions and this guy is meant to lead humanity against a war with machines made for war?!

You had the legendary, veteran acting of Christopher Bale and this is what you make of it?!

People tell me that this movie had potential. I say that that potential ended the moment it came to real writing.

I would say: if you have never seen a Terminator movie then you can enjoy this movie. As a fan of Terminator movies this movie is: too crowded, too talkative, too complicated, too fast. It's a whole Netflix series in one movie.
