Tagline: The End Begins

Trivia: This is the second franchise that both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Christian Bale have both been involved in, without ever appearing together. They have both also appeared in the Batman films.

Goofs: Continuity: John Conner does not connect the harness when getting into the pilot seat of the helicopter but has to release the harness when he is subsequently crashed upside down.

The other weak link of the film had to be the dialogue. it’s incredibly cheesy at times. At the beginning of the film, four of John Connor’s superiors yells, “You tell those men to respond, even if they’re dead!” It  seemed to be over the top more often than not. While the dialogue was a bit on the atrocious side, the story did have four interesting element going for it. The entire film revolves around this element & is  the only new factor brought in to the Terminator franchise. While the film had its low points, I kept thinking that the film at least had this going for it. Then the ending rolled around &   dropped the ball.

With all the negative components of the film, there’s still  a few pieces of the puzzle that are worth mentioning. The action scenes are beyond superb. The camera always seems to be in the right spot at the right time & it isn’t  close, which is a definite plus. The camera seems to be  close during action sequences & fighting scenes in most films these days & most of the action gets lost in the shuffle (Transformers is a lovely example). Being able to see everything without wondering what happened to this character or that character is a lovely adjust. Something that should definitely happen more often. The entire scene with The Harvester is  phenomenal. there’s also  a few throwbacks to the first three films of the franchise. “Come with me if you need to live,” plus, “I’ll be back,” are both used in the film, Kyle Reese uses his signature weapon, a sawn off shotgun, Marcus Wright knocks the windshield out of the wrecking van in a similar fashion the T-1000 did with the diesel in T2, John Connor cocking a gun & firing at a T-800 while being wounded much like Sarah Connor did with the T-1000 while being wounded in T2, & I’m sure  a few more that I missed
