I see so many complaints about reboots, remakes, rewrites. This movie is none of those, and if you think it is, you weren't paying attention. It's a fork, a splinter.
The movie starts in the future of the Terminator (1984) and Terminator Judgment Day movie timeline, then as the events at the start of the 1984 movie are about to be set in motion, the timeline forks after Skynet attempts to change things again as the original attempts didn't work out.
Sure there are a few problems, plot holes and causality issues which don't quite track, but they don't really affect the overall enjoyment of the movie. It's well made, well thought out, and really quite enjoyable if you pay attention to what's happening and don't spend all your time fretting about reboots.
I'm giving it 8/10 because it's entertaining and well made. It doesn't deserve the lower scores from people who just don't get it.
