I agree with Tim as well. I was surprised that Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) did a pretty good job in the movie. He almost steals Christian bales thunders.

I notice Anton Yelchin (who plays Kyle Reese) also in the recent blockbuster Star Trek movie. Will he be next Shia Lebeouf?

I agree with Tim. It was a little premature to bring in Arnold, but Connor did mention that the “timeline was changed, things happening faster, blah blah” Whatever, sounds like a poor attempt to close a loophole.

I got so irritated by the weak characters and partial explanations that it killed my enjoyment of the action – except for the final scenes. ULTIMATE TERMINATION may redeem it.

The action was good. Some of the acting was corny…like when the girl played by Moon Bloodgood says, “I’m cold” and then cuddles up to the guy. I also thought they jumped the gun a bit by introducing Arnold’s character. But overall it was a good movie. Fun to watch but it left a lot of loopholes.

Yeah, there was some pretty good action but the writing was god-awful. McG and his writers, John Brancato and Michael Ferris (These guys wrote ‘Catwoman’) forgot about the characters. Very disappointing.
