“Terminated.” That may just sound better compare to “I’ll be back.”
I had re-watched the trilogy two years back and I found the whole series quite boring. In fact, it felt to be the worst among the trilogy lots like Back to the Future and Star Wars (episode 4-6). So I was hoping for a fantastic show before stepping into the theater – naturally as Christian “Batman” Bale as John Connor the leading actor along with writer Jonathan Nolan of The Dark Knight. But it was utter disappointment.
The whole show was quite flat from the beginning to the end. It felt like a straight forward journey to the end without much twist or elements for surprises. No, Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) wasn’t a twist. It was more like a necessity. Just a necessity to even have the story. Perhaps I expected too much for the character Marcus Wright to be that of a wild card.
And the whole show kind of stuck to the formula of having to protect someone important. While I couldn’t say it shouldn’t be that way, after all this was what the series built on, but it just felt mundane. Towards the end, it was just a parade of cliches and hero gungho-ness.
For the above, a weak 5.0/10.0.
