Enjoyed it for the most part

Rating: 6/10 (12 February 2018)

This was ok...a lot of bad reviews out there but I enjoyed it for the most part after I removed myself from the Terminator franchise and just took it for what it was. Its loud, fast, loaded with CGI, a bit of Road Warrior, a bit War of the Worlds and a bit Transformers with ginormous OTT terminator machines (they were terrible.)
Less Christian Bale than I expected after all that media hype and press surrounding him. He was actually kind of a secondary character. I enjoyed Marcus's storyline and Sam Worthington's portrayal of him. He doesn't know what he is but come on, this is meant to be a big twist but not really, its more the anti-twist. What did he think happened to him on death row after he signed his body over to Skynet and woke up in the future? Blah.
Enjoyed seeing Sarah Conner on tapes. I liked the tie ins to the original story very much. I also enjoyed Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese, portraying one of my favourite heroes of all time from the original Terminator ...sigh...Anton.
