Is this film really worth watching?


I loved the original first two, not so much every other.

I'm also getting sick of embittered pressure groups blackmailing studios to change their films, but then this franchise has always- like Alien- had strong females?

Overall, is it really worth bothering with?

I disagree wholeheartedly! At most, there was only two butyrs. Using my Sherlockian cipher skills, I have translated your message:

It says "Elsie. Prepare to meet thy God." Whatever that means.

Not really. Davis is OK as a futuristic soldier, everyone else is barely alive and the story is nothing new. All in all, it's like the opposite of creativity and art.

Just watch it

You've basically seen it all before.

The twist is that they destroy T1 & T2 in the first 60 seconds.

The movie then inserts an androgynous diabetic for Kyle Reese, and a giant 4' brownish smurf.for Sarah Connor.

By minute 10 you really don't care if everybody dies, so that's different.

I'm still waiting for Netflix to mail me a blu-ray of it, but I'm expecting just a rehash of everything we saw before. It's amazing they all thought, including James Cameron, that going over the same ground what was covered first in T2, then T3 and then Genisys with all having decreasing box office profits was a good idea.

I'ts definitely worth watching. Just expect it to be woke as fuck and don't expect it to be on the level of first two and you'll have fun for 2 hours I guarantee you. It deserves 70% on RT.

If you view it as a parody of T1 and T2 it's okay. Arnold had a funny line (and him being an interior decorator and family man was straight-up parody), and the idea of a 5-foot-fuckall, 90-pound Mexican chick being the future leader of the human resistance was hilarious. Instead of Kyle Reese or a reprogrammed Arnold Terminator being the protector, we get a "Pat" version of the Bionic Woman:

A lot of people say, “What’s that?” It’s Pat!
A lot of people ask, “Who’s he? Or she?”
A ma’am or a sir, accept him or her
or whatever it might be.
It’s time for androgyny.
Here comes Pat!


We also get Jack Slater from Last Action Hero, except in the body of a 60-something blue-haired grandma instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

This film is fucking awful. Just rewatch parts one and two.
