The Terminator thing hit its high point with number two (Edward Furlong notwithstanding), and it’s been all downhill ever since. This entry escapes SyFy-worthiness solely by “virtue” of the cash lavished on the cast and special effects. Grown to adulthood, John Connor (Christian Bale) seeks Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) so he can save his past/future father from termination. Sam Worthington comes along for the ride as a tough stranger with a secret (given away early in the picture by a tip fans may recall from the beginning of the second one). Though some of the action sequences are above par, the story isn’t interesting enough to effectively glue the fighting and explosions together. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
