This direct sequel to the 1991 sequel “Judgement Day”, is as thrilling, even if more than the predecessor. This film has what fans of this franchise expect, and that is exciting action sequences and a riveting story. This is yet another exciting and thrilling entry into the saga.
Original director James Cameron returns, this time as a producer. Director of Deadpool, Tim Miller, makes a triumphant action-packed entry into the series. What Cameron & Miller manage to do with this film, is to deliver a great film that supersedes all the rubbish of the prior sequels I mentioned earlier. This film is much more exciting and compelling than the two sequels that came before it. It has much more action and thrill factors because it stays on course with the 1991 sequel.
Despite all the positives, there is one thing that annoyed me. The film starts off slow and begins the first 10 minutes with subtitles. This slows down the film a little bit, but this doesn’t make the film terrible at all.
They’re back! Original stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger reunite for the first time since 1991’s Judgement Day. They’re as action-packed and dynamic as ever! The two shine once more by delivering the best performances in the franchise to date. Starring alongside the legendary duo is Mackenzie Davis and Natalia Reyes. Offering some fresh new faces, they are as exciting as the legendary duo. The two are a good addition to the franchise.
This film not only has top-notch action sequences, but it also has an amazing score. Scoring the film is Tom Holkenborg aka Junkie XL. His score is energetic and fast-paced. Holkenborg also puts his own unique spin on the iconic theme which makes the film even more entertaining.
It has been one of the most iconic film series for over 35 years. Now, with a direct sequel to the second film, the franchise has once again regained the momentum that it so desperately needs. The Terminator films are one of the best sci-fi series to date. This new film shows that off in extraordinary fashion. Fans of the original films will love this film in all its splendor and gargantuan qualities.

Synopsis: More than two decades have passed since Sarah Connor prevented Judgment Day, changed the future, and re-wrote the fate of the human race. Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes) is living a simple life in Mexico City with her brother (Diego Boneta) and father when a highly advanced and deadly new Terminator -- a Rev-9 (Gabriel Luna) -- travels back through time to hunt and kill her. Dani's survival depends on her joining forces with two warriors: Grace (Mackenzie Davis), an enhanced super-soldier from the future, and a battle-hardened Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). As the Rev-9 ruthlessly destroys everything and everyone in its path on the hunt for Dani, the three are led to a T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) from Sarah's past that may be their last best hope.
