I enjoyed everything up until Sarah Connor getting involved, but she was just terrible. I also thought the new John Connor girl was awful. I didn't believe for a second that she was a bad ass and the scene where she learned how to fire a gun in 5 minutes was laughable.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

They finally tried to do something a little different with the franchise, and I thought it worked for the most part, but people weren't into it. The result is that the next two movies were basically re-makes and re-treads of T1 and T2. Genisys tries to stretch too far and the best that can be said about Dark Fate is that it is competently constructed and has compelling actors. If Salvation had been appreciated appropriately, I think we could've reached into a lot of cool new places in the Terminator universe. Instead, we've been stuck re-tracing old paths again and again.
