When is this going to end?

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2009)

John Connor (Bale) is again fighting the machines who want to eliminate all human life. He meets Marcus (Worthington) and Connor is not sure if Marcus is friend or foe from the future.
It's easy to get lost in this story, and we constantly have to figure out who is the father of who even though the father is Kyle (Yelchin) a teenager and the son is John Connor, an adult; and where is Sara Connor?, and are we in the present or the future? Of course, I am making it more complicated than it is. Or am I?
The acting by all was good, and there is a lot of CGI in this and it's all good too; but it takes up more than half of the movie and it's practically the same over and over again. Arnie was smart to get out when he did. Gets tedious after a time especially since most of the scenes are filmed in the dark. It's not even scary anymore. So much for date night stuff. Might have to check that Scary Movie thing out again.
Also, the Marcus character and the Connor character look too much alike. Well, kind of. Why do they do that? Before I said Arnie was smart to get out when he did, but did you notice that another updated Terminator Model looked exactly like Arnie? Wasn't on the screen long. So you missed it. No big deal.
I really thought this was going to put an end to the war with the machines. Wrong again. I went through BattleStar Galactica with the machines, and that ended. Or did it?
The only sequel that outshone all that went before was the Die Hard series. This movie left it open to another sequel and I have had enough. When is this going to end? This one needs to go away. This is torture. I'm ready to let the machines win.
I really wish the TV show The Sara Connor Chronicles would come back. I miss Summer Glau, the good looking machine who plays a good machine who protects John Connor, the young one. That gets complicated too, but it is preferred. (What did you say? She's not a machine? Oh.)
Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: No, well one S-word was heard.
