This is one case where I wish your review we...John,<br />This is one case where I wish your review weren't so spot-on accurate.<br />I enjoyed much of this film while I was watching it, but like so many by-the-numbers films of the past few years, it falls completely apart upon introspection.<br />Lots of great ideas that never seem to gel into a cohesive whole for reasons you mention.<br />And why, why, why was a major spoiler revealed in all of the marketing for this film? They truly took away what could have been an amazing moment for the viewer.<br />I give the writers a lot of credit for trying something new, at least. You could see that they had enthusiasm and were fans of the franchise.<br />However, I agree with some fans who wished for a third season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles instead of this film.<br />If you haven't seen the television series, John, I urge you to do so. I believe it's right up there with T2 as the best part of the Terminator mythos.<br />SteveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101722769411384962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-74947555729288338642015-07-21T23:12:16.528-04:002015-07-21T23:12:16.528-04:00Your revue is spot on.I like the term "side-q...Your revue is spot on.I like the term "side-quel" to describe where this movie fits into the franchise. One technical detail that made the story hard for me to follow was that Sarah and Reese travel to the future. If Sarah leaves 1984 where does the John Conner they encounter come from? Two more of these you say? Wow...can't wait.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
