The first mistake was to kill John Connor, the timeline has been reset but the first two movies are now pointless as well. All of Sarah Connor's struggles to save her son from the T-1000 have now been rendered pointless. His death was shown at the start of the film and over in 5 minutes. Such a crucial character to the franchise unceremoniously killed off.
Sarah Connor is now a Terminator hunter and cranky old woman. It was good to see Linda Hamilton kicking arse again but it felt forced, like fan service.
The return of Arnie as the Terminator was more fan service. He's the same T-800 that gunned down John at the start of the film. A ruthless killer machine has somehow developed a conscience and understanding of humans, is now living a normal life with a woman and acting as a father figure to her son and running a business called 'Carl's draperies. This is one of the parts that bothered me the most, such weak writing. The T-800 didn't have human emotions and a human conscience, it's only goal was to terminate, it's a damn machine for Christ's sakes! There was humour with his character but he was just phoning it in.
A new character Dani Ramos is introduced and is being hunted by a new Terminator-Rev-9 that can split into two Terminators, "his whole body is a weapon". I quite liked the new Terminator but the cgi looked crappy. He was the best part of this weak film. To aid Dani we have Grace, a cybernetically- enhanced human full of surgical scars. She assaults people just doing their jobs and kicks major arse. The actress did her best with the material on offer. The actress playing Dani however was very poor. Rev-9 kills her brother and dad and she doesn't seem very bothered for long. She's not believable as a resistance leader that inspires people or a badass.
This movie is basically judgement day set partially in Mexico with a Mexican, female John Connor. Complete with a car chase on a motorway involving the Rev-9. These new characters however, just do not match up to the originals.
The scenes with the US border control are cliché with all the border staff demonised for doing their jobs.
The Rev-9 is immensely powerful but is destroyed too easily in the end.
Most of the humour falls flat and some of the dialogue is cringeworthy, example: Grace and Sarah: "I wish it wasn't so crowded here" Dani: "I wish you wasn't so white" 🙄
This movie is basically an average run-of-the-mill action movie. It feels like it was just made to cash in on the Terminator name. Nothing is new, the new characters are weak, apart from Rev-9. There is no emotional connection to any of the characters like in the first two movies, the first two were the only very good ones, the rest were weak. They need to stop flogging this dead horse because they cannot capture the brilliance of the first two movies. I struggle to remeber most of this movie it was that forgettable.
