I really liked it.
I love how it ‘ignores’ the other sequels, but it really doesn’t.
Within a minute into the movie, everything changes.
It helps if you’ve watched Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which pretty much laid down the rules on how time travel can change things in the timeline, as it did in the finale, where they arrived in a future where they never heard of John Connor.
It also helps that the showrunner for that series has a ‘story by’ credit in the current film.
Later the film explains those same rules, but again, having seen the TV series does help a bit.
And this film makes me a little more annoyed that the Ghost Rider series on Hulu has been scrapped. Gabriel Luna make a good bad guy here, and he was great as Ghost Rider in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I never saw Genisys and was disappointed with both Rise of the Machines and Salvation. So to me this movie is the sequel to T2: Judgement Day.
3 stars out of 4. Recommended. Go see it!
