What in the world is this?
I have watched every Terminator movie.
They started good.
Unlike most films the sequel was better.
The 3rd was pointless but enjoyable.
The 4th made no sense.
The 5th was confusing but fun.
This was, while they at least brought
James Cameron back into production
(he is a producer as well as partially
conceived the story), just not
entertaining in any way.
The fact that they would attempt to
do more stuff with only T1&2 as back
story is actually a good thing. Too
much back story gets convoluted,
regardless of if the films were good
or not.
(Plus Linda Hamilton didn't want to
do T3, so now they have to revamp
the timeline so Sarah Connor can
be in it.)
I'm not against doing Terminator
without John Connor. But they
killed him so they could do a movie
with 3 female heroes.
It would have been better if they
just remade Terminator from the
beginning, instead of giving a dark
fate with a new heroine; who isn't
made clear if she is female John
Connor, or the mother of the real
John Connor (before time travel
paradox).
Now, getting into this film:
It's too long!
The film is about 2 hours,
which would be fine it it was a good
film, but it felt like watching paint
dry. I just wanted to see the result.
The journey was not enjoyable.
They wasted time on 2 specific scenes
that should have omitted.
One is they get arrested and escape.
The other is stealing a weapon from
the military, which isn't even used.
The whole thing is just poorly down
action scenes that don't do anything
that other Terminator movies didn't
do better before.
It's heroes running from a super
villian for 2 hours, while 1 of them
had ability to defeat the villian all
along. (Oh yes, cause if they did
that at the beginning, there wouldn't
be a film to make money.)
Furthermore the ending just doesn't
make any sense. Dani is upset at
her female protectors death and
wants to change it, but that would
imply more random dark fates
without having a protector.
The only good thing is the villian
terminator is definitely the strongest
one yet. Having the shape shifting
ability of the T1000, the weapon
ability of the TX, and the strength
of the T800. But it doesn't redeem
the film in any way.
If anyone must know, the DVD
doesn't have any bonus material
except for captions.
