To start off, the scenario is a mess, and kind of a rehash of T2. Completely changes the story, with the introduction of Skynet v2. A few things make sense. The intend here is probably to dazzle with bold action scenes and CGI. It is what it is. The great time machine that washes away everything.
Acting wise , Linda Hamilton is great. She brings the old Sarah Connor back , that beloved kick ass character we all missed. Mackenzie Davis is great too, but she is not given much to work with. Arnold looks like he is having fun with it. I'm sure his paycheck plays a big role in that. The new savior of humanity is kinda without a presence. Wooden, lifeless. But the biggest disappointment is the villain terminator. A non threatening, bland, chatty robot, that fails to intimidate. New trick tech kinda works, but its far from enough to save the character.
I'm not really mad. And it is not really that bad. What makes it bad, is the context in which it was presented, as the new T2. But the writing is weak. Pointless really. I kinda went through it having no expectations and maybe that is why I am not mad that they killed it everything we loved about T2.
That's life. People out to make a buck.
