Warning: Spoilers
John Connor (Christian Bale) joins forces with a Terminator (Worthington) to destroy skynet and lead the resistance. This is the last enjoyable movie of the series, as at least this movie fits into a moderate continuity with the other 3 and Bale is a great actor. Sure this feels like a Mad Max rip off (5 would feel like Back To The Future, 6 would rip off Universal Soldier, no seriously.) It also feels like the type of stuff Albert Pyun did with his post apocalypse flicks like Knights, Nemesis and Radioactive Dreams in that they rarely offer little narrative beyond a standard action flick. No doubt that the Terminator learning to be human is an afterthought to all the mayhem and little is explored on that plot thread. Mainly this sequel while mindless at least moves at a reasonably quick pace and some of the action is alright, but basically when asked what one thinks, It's that type of meh you reserve for a product that is nothing special.
