An average movie

To be honest, I didn't expect much from this movie but since Nick, my step-son, was really eager to watch it, I thought we might as well check it out right away. Well, eventually, I must admit that I was actually positively surprised by the damned thing. I mean, obviously it was no masterpiece and it remains far behind the timeless first 2 installments but for a sequel which seemed to be at first a shameles cash-grab, it was actually fairly decent. Indeed, first of all, they actually managed to deliver a fairly entertaining story and I thought it was a very nice idea to mix all these timelines together. Furthermore, I enjoyed the way they managed to add an older Arnold Scharzenegger and it was a very nice move to have him step back and give the main stage to Emilia Clarke and Jai Courntey who were very well cast. However, I think I was a mistake to have John Connor to be the main antagonist (something completely spoiled by the trailer by the way) and Jason Clarke was not a great choice for this part. How awesome it would have been if they had managed to get Christian Bale on board! Anyway, to conclude, it is actually pretty neat that they managed to deliver a decent blockbuster from a project which seemed doomed from the start and the damned thing is actually really worth a look.
