Didn't enjoy it at all. I wasn't a huge fan of the first movie but thought it was entertaining. I didn't have expectations to high when I went to watch this sequel. The visuals are still the same as the first but I suppose the flare is gone after you have seen it before and know what to expect. The plot, acting, and action scenes just do not offer enough to keep my interest. It seems the director thought as much too since they shove Eva Green's excellent boobs down your throat through out the movie. Don't get me wrong, I am a typical guy and love the boob shots, but a lot of scenes just seemed forced, unnecessary, awkward and out of place. The action scenes are ruined by unnatural movements. You can tell that people are suspended on wires and pulled from this side of the set to the other. You can not let your imagination accept it because everyone's movements are so noticeably unnatural. Even in my science fiction I like there to be at least some laws of physics upheld. The plot is not fluid and seems to be mini-plots shoved together to form a long movie of semi related task. Now the movie is not just plain horrible and I am sure if you are a big fan of the first edition then this one will be a fun watch, but there is no way I will be watching it a second time.
It was more true to the original terminators 1 & 2. It's great to see Arnold back in the role of terminator. The good pretty much stops there. They catered way to much to Arnold's aging appearance in the story line which I know was necessary but seems poorly done. The Plot jumps around so much between different character versions, time lines, paradoxes, that I got to were I didn't even care about the characters anymore. Why do I care if they succeeded or not, is this the timeline I am suppose to care about? Is this the version of the character I am suppose to sympathize with? The movie did great with the action but really hurt itself by trying to make an overly complex plot with to much depth. The movie would of been way better with a simplified plot and great one liners that the originals had. Also, Jason Clarke was just hideous playing his part. Didn't like him even when it was the good version of him When he was suppose to be a machine he says he doesn't feel pain, yet he is making all kinds of face expression when in pain or staining. Very bad acting on his part.
