Good, but doesn't quite live up to the theme

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2012)

This was suppose to be an "in between" movie, not a prequel nor really a sequel. I read somewhere that this was going to tie up some loose ends from the original and the Judgment Day movies, but unfortunately it leaves many more dangling loose ends than it ties up...
I suppose the insertion of another Terminator, who doesn't know he is one, is someone's idea of mystery or intrigue, but it sure didn't do anything to make this more "interesting" to me. Wow, and the first scene in Skynet's control room had me seeing Vickie from "I Robot". That felt like the writers didn't have enough imagination to handle this one. Oh well...
I did give it a 7, but it just doesn't feel like a Terminator movie...good action.
p.s. I thought I'd better put this in too, since someone is bound to notice...no, I didn't reference 3 movies, since I don't consider the T3 one to be "worthy" if you will...the only part of T3 that impressed me at all is at the very end when "John" realizes that the weight of the world really has landed on him...
