Disclaimer: My movie reviews are like my cooking. Most of the time my Family and Friends find that to be nicely done but once in a while even they find it to be too salty or sarcastic. So please read at your own risk! Minor spoilers ahead!
Few films set the bench marking. Back in early 80's there was this film

- Ground breaking CGI effects, Superb set pieces and a plot with a few
30 years later Hollywood is still spinning the tried and tested brand. Same Characters etc. Plot? 3 words - Time Travels. Cyborgs. Kills. Oops.. that's four words. Anyway after watching Terminator franchise as a fifth installment, you will be forgiven for this miscounting :) I want to be fair here. Compared to the two previous (installments - or different tales on the plot, anyone?) the team behind this particular one have done a better job. That includes the big Gubernator :P
The Judgment day is different now so is the pseudo science behind all that time traveling, future technology etc. But the good thing is that it is enjoyable. The set pieces look very CGI but still believable. The Characters ( this is the funny part - they themselves are confused with all those time-lines and alternate realities etc but you will have a smirk on your face watching them) Not many films have done this in the recent past and for that alone the price of admission is worth .
As for the cast which is relatively unknown except Schwarzanegger they have done a commendable job. I was impressed by all three leads, especially Emilia Clarke as Sarah Conor. I originally had doubts about her playing Sarah Conor as good as Linda Hamilton but she has done a good job with what scope she had. So did Jason Clarke and Jai Courtney. A big improvement from their previous franchisee installments.
As for Arnold it seems the man realizes his extent of star power and wants to underplay but the studio is having none of it. He is actually good with self deprecating humor and his iconic one liners. I would rather see him like this but then being a Super star also has its own burdens.
One thing that is a letdown is BGM and Sound effects. Somehow they sounded as an add-on and clunky.
Overall this is a good requel ( wink..wink, Hollywood here is a word), sequel or even if you want to call it a rehash. It is fun has some clever moments but as with all sequels and such people will always compare with the originals so there you have it. Thanks for reading.
