No Arnold Schwarzenegger. Therefore, it sucks.

Rating: 1/10 (30 July 2016)

That's right. You heard me. They made a Terminator movie without Arnold. YES, it could have been done, if you look back at the other Terminator movies there's nothing that says Terminator has to be about Arnold, especially the first one. But for sake of pure cult movie tradition, fans wanted to see ARNOLD. WE WANT ARNOLD.
Not some lamos the whole movie. The movie may as well have been named American Army Movie 4. It's just about lame armies that talk too much in a boring way, we want to see bulletholes in cars and Arnold bikeriding. One hand shotgun shooting, the black glasses, the bodybuilder in black leather, THAT'S TERMINATOR MAN. And the movie reeks of an annoying CSI 2010 era, it doesn't have the cool laid back 1990s feel of the other ones where it feels like it's the time of cool dudes with guns. There were no cooldudes here.
The story sure can pass as something interesting, but the fact most people didn't see it because Arnold wasn't in it proves that it sucks still nonetheless. I'm not going to lie, you will be actually kind of drawn in when you sit there and watch it. If you can follow it. But without Schwarzenegger, it isn't a story. It's some googleplex Einstein complicated storyline where you have to listen more than you should.
Filled with lame romance and lame acting, I don't really get at all what Sam Worthington's character was in it for. Makes no sense to me. Completely random tacked on character. Kyle Reese looked like a pansy, John Connor is more annoying than anything (and no, I'm not hating Christian Bale for his anger episode with that camera guy that was leaked on the net, this is separate) because he behaves too much like a 2010 "policeman" who thinks hes in CSI or Law and Order. We want to see all black wearing sunglasses guys shooting each other, not the friggin police. John is supposed to be a cool Terminator kid from the nineteen eighties.
What's with this garbage movie? It's like they didn't get Terminator at all.
