I've now seen every Terminator movie!

Rating: 6/10 (29 April 2016)

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in this because it was the movie that gave us the infamous Christian Bale rant. Yeah, I don't hold that against the guy, but the remixes have been pretty funny. I actually do like what they do with this movie. It's mostly how they do something different by having the film set entirely in the future. You could call me a "Terminator" fan as I probably love the series as much as anyone else. The best scene is probably when they fight the underwater robots. That shows off true creativity.
I was just kind of disappointed how the climax turned out. It was by no means bad, but I guess with all the tension built up, I was expecting some huge battle between the humans and robots. Instead, it was just two Terminators fighting, which is more or less what we've seen in the other movies. This movie seemed to have the right length. The main problem I have is that it does comes off as rather pointless. It's by no means an awful movie. It just came off as pretty forgettable to me. I guess there's technically nothing that good or bad about it. The other films are better.
I find the third movie to be better than this, which did better with critics. It captured the spirit of the first two movies better. This moves a little slowly at times and the moral is a pretty obvious one. While I'd advice you to skip it, it definitely has good ideas and uses them fairly well unlike "Terminator: Genesys". I think it might have worked better if it had taken place partly in the past and partly in the future.**1/2 out of ****.
