Well there were some parts I loved and some I didn't like too much. First of all James Cameron multiple times said he distances himself from all the other sequels post T2 and sees this as a direct sequel to the 1991 masterpiece. Yet he steals or borrows a lot of elements out of the other films especially Salvation and Genysis. In the essence it is basically a remake of T2 with those additional elements. There is one big twist at the beginning of the film that might turn off a lot of fans of the original franchise and also creates the biggest story hole of the film. Now the points I liked: Mackenzie Davis. A really great and enjoyable performance and a fantastic character addition to the series. I also loved that they brought back Linda Hamilton totally in Sigourney Weaver/Ellen Ripley mode. Really bad ass (sometimes a bit too cartoonish tho). Also the way to integrate Arnold Schwarzenegger to the story was fun (yet not original). The action worked perfectly fine for me, some really fantastic stuns and sequences. It had a nice atmosphere and some good camera work. Besides the points I mentioned in the beginning it was a great action adventure, yet without many new conclusions to the original story (at least not very exciting or great ones). I think for the return of James Cameron (sort of ), Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger you would expect a much more thrilling concept or story. Still it was entertaining in its own way.

Saw this yesterday. Fun but not something special.
I think we have seen everything about the saga. There is nothing more. They tried to make this movie kind of nostalgic so they brought back Hamilton and the plot was very similar to the first two films, esp. T2.
It had its moments, great action sequences and some laughs.
It was ok but please, no more Terminator movies....
It's a 6-6.5/10 for me. Better than T3 and Genisys.

Well... I enjoyed it.
The last time I enjoyed a movie that much in theaters was Inside Out. Which was chronologically speaking.... a while ago.
I know this movie did bad in the box office, but that's because all people wanna talk about is Joker, Avengers, and Scorsese.
