I've heard these names so much i 've seen so many stories about these two that i wish they were never created. It's because most stories were bad to the point of " ..***k this, i'm out!". I could never love "the good guys" too much: spoiled geniuses, holding the faith of the Universe in their hands. That's why i could never love Superman or Jesus. Do you get what i'm saying? You must be such a narrow minded slave to believe such things. (And if you are, well..you're not alone. billions are just like you.) This i consider to be the main flaw of these Terminator stories.
But note that in the first one the legend was in the making, the good people were just people, like us, only chased by machines. And that was the one great story needed to be told! The second one got stupid. And cheesy. For the sake of cool scenes, the logic took a dive. While T1000 had to stop to "heal", the old model would still walk. Why? heal what, its human shape? ..well, whatever..it was still way better than what was to come: the third, the series and this one here. Disastrous.
It's eerie how this movie doesn't follow closely any of the characters' emotions, state of mind, purpose, motivations, egos, interactions, decisions, conflicts, etc. It makes you uninterested in their faith. And then you don't like 'em, so automatically you don't care about the story, and finally you're annoyed by all that noise, yelling and "action"! - this is what happens. TS is the perfect example on how to fail at a movie.
By the way there is no story, and what is presented to you doesn't make much sense. You might not care, you might think..well, i may still enjoy it. But think a bit harder: isn't it precisely the story that drives the movie ..that makes you like it? And if that ain't enough (i.e. there's something wrong with you and you'll still pay to see this, or -just as with the rest 99% - it's sheer curiosity, like looking at a roadkill) the pure technical side is probably the worst of any recent movie yet. What kills a terminator? what stops a heart? How do the weapons and wars of 201x look like? (did the Vietnam War came back from the past or something?) How hard is it to kill one human f f s? How often you find fuel trucks and nuclear devices just lying around? I mean COME ON ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me take 3 steps ahead and say "Terminate Hollywood". They mock us with their mass-media tools, they insult our intelligence, they treat us like cattle. Only one thing these people care about: money. Only one solution available: stop paying. Ask for your money back. Stop going to cinemas. And then you'll see some changes and improvements. In the 60s and 70s people were watching cool B movies. So the studios welcomed the new generation of filmmakers, they had to. Today nobody is fresh or original so we would still wait a while, but for a gain. At least you'd save your money and buy 60s and 70s DVDs. I've seen MANY people walk out of movies, all very recently. Change is on the way Hollywood, get with the program or die off.
