My ultimate prognosis: “Eh.” Or perhaps that should be, “Why?”
Of course, we know why – money. Even with a few great Hollywood movies lately (Star Trek, for example), money as motivation still clouds the handling of some of the better fanchises – including this one. Sadly, good acting, fair direction, and slick effects couldn’t save this movie – I left feeling like this should have been a TV special, IF THAT, and only in a universe where The Sarah Connor Chronicles hadn’t raised the bar so high. I recommend Terminator fans spend your money on the DVDs of that sadly canceled show, rather than suffer the disappointment you’ll feel at the end of this movie. It is a serviceable Sci-Fi action movie, and will please general action/big robot fans, but fans of this specific franchise can spend their money better elsewhere. See this when it’s on cable.
There may be mild SPOILERS below, so read at your own risk if you care about such things.
