After more than two decades, James Cameron returns to the franchise he created - the Terminator series. This time as co- writer and producer, since he is busy with the Avatar sequels. Linda Hamilton also returns as Sarah Connor - the heroine of the first two installments.
This film ignores all the sequels after Terminator : Judgment Day (T2). Although the plot is some kind of a rehash of the first film, it's actually what we are expecting. An enhanced human soldier is sent from the future to protect the next leader of the resistance. This opens up the series into another trilogy.
The CGI and action sequences here are state-of-the-art and very impressive, which makes this an enjoyable film to watch. Among the new characters, the augmented super soldier Grace (Mackenzie Davis ) is the stand-out.
It's nice to see Linda Hamilton as the aged Sarah Connor who's been chasing terminators all these years. And Arnold Schwarzenegger as a reformed T-800. Gabriel Luna as the new terminator Rev-9 is powerful but not as formidable as Robert Patrick's T-1000. Although T2 is still my favorite in the series, this is the best sequel after the first two films.
Directed by Tim Miller who previously helmed Deadpool. Rated PG-13. From 20th Century Fox.
