I really enjoyed this movie, it felt like it had everything a Terminator movie should have. Seemingly unstoppable robot assassin sent from the future? Check. Human sent back to the past at the same time to protect the Terminator’s target? Check. Flashback to a gritty future openly fighting evil machines in the rubble of civilization, with the requisite human skulls everywhere? Check. Absolute amazement at what is happening on the part of the Terminator’s target? Check? Linda Hamilton? Arnold Schwarzenegger? Lots of guns? Car chases? Much destruction of everything around them? One liners? All checked.
I see lots of negative reviews here on Amazon. To each their own, but I think this is a good movie and worth watching, particularly if anything in the first paragraph is something you like. To those who say this film negates what happened after Terminator 2…it does. It is a sequel to the two films James Cameron filmed. I think the filmmakers know that Terminator 3 had a lot of detractors (I liked it), so that no longer happened. As far as the other two films after T3, I think the feeling has often been that they weren’t that popular, or that they were alternate timeline versions of the Terminator saga in any event, or both.
I have a different view on whether or not this film is an insult to Terminator 3 and later Terminator films. It isn’t. Not only is it in response to fans disliking the films after T2, but the film shows, sorry if this is spoiler, but that pretty much the ultimate goal of the first two films was achieved. They succeeded in destroying Skynet, the exact future that the Arnold terminator was sent from in the first two films never happened. Nuclear war did not occur in 1997 (as was going to be the case if Skynet wasn’t stopped in Terminator 2) or 2005 as depicted in Terminator 3 (it takes place 10 years after Terminator 2, which is set in 1995, and as the closes with nuclear war, hence my date for the other nuclear apocalypse in the Terminator timelines).
A machine launched nuclear holocaust still occurs, sometime after 2019, though this time it isn’t Skynet. It’s another AI system that decides to try and wipe out humanity, Legion. I am fine with this, really. One, Sarah Connor and John Connor and the rest really did beat Skynet, stopping it from destroying humanity, and delayed a nuclear holocaust for decades. That isn’t nothing. Two, if we are going to continue to have Terminator films, we have to decide what to do about the shifting timeline, as in the real world we are well past even the year of nuclear war in Terminator 3. I think shifting the event later on is the most viable option unless movies are either deliberate period piece films or are all set in the post-apocalyptic world. Either option might make it daunting for new fans to enter the franchise and might add a lot to production costs. Three, I really like the idea that if it wasn’t Skynet, it would be Legion, that one way or another humanity was going to create a deadly AI that would go rogue and try really hard to destroy humanity, that it was an idea whose time has come (much like say the telescope’s inventor is disputed, as several people in Europe invented the telescope without consulting with others at about the same time; if one were to go in the past and kill one or even two of these individuals, a third or a fourth inventor would still have developed the telescope). This may be dreary in some ways, but it is believable.
This is already a long review so I will wrap up. I though the pacing was excellent, there were great fight scenes, the new evil Terminator was deadly and exciting, the effects were impressive, and I liked the Mexican setting for a good part of the film. There weren’t quite as many one-liners as I would have liked but I enjoyed what I got and Sarah Connor had a great laugh-out loud one late in the film. I saw a few complaints on acting in the other reviews, I thought the acting was fine, though I do see how people thought Mackenzie Davis as Grace was a little robotic and at times unemotional but I bought that and didn’t have a problem with it (she is the character sent back in time to protect the Terminator’s target). My only big complaint was too many scenes were in the dark and it could be hard to tell what was going on.
Other than that I really enjoyed the film. It would work well as the final film of a trilogy or as a springboard for later films.

Arnold should now retire from the series.
The freshness of the action from the "Terminator" movie series "Lee" was the best movie in this movie. Arnold should now retire from the series.
