Ok so i went in and saw the matinee of this thing today. I originally worked on the trailer for this thing but never saw more than that. I thought the trailer was cool so i hoped the movie would be the same. McG directed this and you know him from Charlies Angel’s.
The action scene in this movie arnt as far fetched or ridiculous as they were in CA’s but they were cool.
So the movie takes place in 2018 and it starts off 4 days before the Resistance is going to launch a massive offensive on SKYNET in San Fransisco. What sucks about the story is that its all based on time travel so the story line changed in part 2 and 3 and now in part 4. In this new future John Connor is NOT the leader of the Resistance but instead a commander in one of its Armies. The Resistance is run by a submarine. So in this movie the machines are gathering humans to harvest them and create t-800 (Arnold’s) and the goal is to rescue Kyle Reese (played by the russian dude in Star Trek)…..Kyle Reese is John Connors dad if you dont remember. So if Reese dies Connor dies and never existed to begin with and then paradox blah blah blah….
ya and then we meet Marcus Wright, who is an andvanced t-800 type. Well the movie is pretty predictable but the action was good. There were plenty of action scenes and though none of them were epic they were pretty good. they were more face paced scenes cut in with some dialogue. Never just straight action. You will recognize a lot of the lines as they were all from previous movies or just T2.
The movie runs about 1:48. I thought it could of been longer. The movie has very little story and it basically gets rid of it in the beginning. There is nothing after the credits so dont stick around.
Arnold is in the movie…kinda of. Its a CG Arnold. But ya if you like the series go see this. the cg isnt bad and its a good time. A little too short but hey i usually complain about movies being to long.
