An Honest Review

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2019)

So, it is time to review the last good Terminator movie.
When T3 came out, I swear that people forgot it was even released... but at least it felt like it belonged in the Terminator franchise.
When Salvation dropped, it felt like it fit as well, but it was an MCG film, so it also felt like Terminator meets Mickey Mouse.
And when Terminator Typo was released, it kind of did it's best to completely alienate all the fans that the franchise had developed over the years.
But this one, well, this one actually was great. The Robert Patrick T-1000 liquid metal thing looked amazing, Patrick acted ominous and frightening, and seemed like a legit threat despite the size difference between he and Arnold.
And in the process the T-1000 managed to produce some truly creepy visuals.
And this John Connor, Edward Furlong, was absolutely amazing. You really got the sense from him that he could be the man that leads the rebellion in the future.
And, Sarah Connor was buff, and upped her game as the heroine that could do, well, actually do the action she was required to preform. And not only that she was creepy and obsessed as well. She looked and acted like the kind of survivalist that would train the future savior of the world.
It all came together as a brilliant move with old Arnold playing the good guy this time, and, though it was an obvious bank on his star power, they pulled it off so no one would care. Right down to the first meeting where John didn't know if he could be trusted or not.
It was a fantastic story with fantastic visuals, and it all made of a stellar and entertaining watch.
