Pretty much the first two films chucked in a blender to make this film. Nothing terribly original, and oh so many scenes to make you go 'Oh, I loved that scene from the original'
I still mostly enjoyed it though

I was walking near my office yesterday and saw this big billboard for this new T movie, and right beside another huge one for Rambo Last Blood.
It was kinda depressing to see both Arnie and Sly still making these movies, but at the same time, ey look at these guys still doing this shit, right?

Oh i got tickets for the new T movie. Going tomorrow.

What bums me out is not only does Arnold look like an old man he moves like an old man. You can't Hollywood that out. Like Sam Jackson in Captain Marvel you can de-age his face but that dude moves like an old ass man. He even is getting that softness in his face. I think that's why he wears a beard now to hide that shit. Sly is old but he still has some of that vitality. At least enough to suspend your disbelief. Getting old sucks.

Just came back from watching the movie. What a waste of time. Another tired stupid sequel...or this is one is a reboot? Annoying new characters, stupid and long set action pieces, wasted old characters...why? Its better than that piece of shit genysis for sure, but damn this one is bad.
Spoiler: show
I dont get it...kill John? bring a girl who is basically Sarah in the first one...making her the new leader? no Skynet? Wtf was Arnie killing John then? And again...Arnie being the comedic relief...who needs comedy in a T movie?Fuuuuck.

but the previous one was a bomb too and yet....Im guessing they will eventually make more. Maybe an official reboot, maybe James Cameron actually directs another one?

I cant believe they really fucked up again though.

Honestly - I think it was just that it was a better movie than Genysis, which is what I went in expecting. Some of the action scenes were well done, and I quite liked Arnie in this one

Oh yeah, it was way better...but that one was a piece of shit, so it was not much. I hated the action scenes...the plane scene? man, action these days....

Yeah, Arnold was alright im just tired of how they use him in these sequels.
