I believe it's the third time I'm watching this movie. I'm not familiar with McG's other work, but this one is very impressive - good solid direction (with some original ideas, like the one long take in and out of the helicopter), fantastic almost-flawless CGI and animatronics, excellent sound editing, cinematography, stunts, makeup and score by Elfman. Pretty decent script with some original ideas.
The movie is not without flaws - and it's not "Terminator 1" or "Terminator 2" - but it's pretty good on its own.
Bryce Dallas Howard (daughter of actor/director Ron Howard) is beautiful but simply a terrible actress.
I don't understand how the awful 'Terminator 3" is considered better than this one and can't believe that after this wonderful sequel they still haven't greenlighted part 5.
