All I can say about this movie is just wow! Yup, it;s that incredible and more and I will even go on to say that it actually is a worthy sequel to James Cameron's original movies and not surprising at all because not only was Cameron part of the story writing process but even went so far as to produce it also!
The movie returns to basics and gives us the original characters and so worthy new ones too. The story takes what we know, flips it on it's head and creates an entirely new mythos on which to carry on the franchise in a whole new direction while still maintaining the core elements regarding the rise of the machines against humanity.
In 1992, Cameron released Terminator 2 and this movie was so well recieved and in a completely different direction to the original that shot Cameron's star even brighter as a director and filmmaker already proving he knew how to bring crowds into theatres and make money, of course Cameron went on to direct Titanic and Avatar, movie which became the highest grossing movies of their time and this only makes Terminator all that more of a reason to watch.The Terminator originals are back in the form of Linda Hamilton and everyone's favourite killing machine, the T-800 as played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who incidentally is also the only actor to have appeared in one form or another in every Terminator movie made to date.
I'm glad this movie took the turn that it did with us finally getting rid of the overdone "John Connor" future and replaced with a whole entirely new future with new heroes and so many new stories to continue the legacy with. Perhaps I'm too much of a fan to give an unbiased review but I will definitely advise any self-respecting fan to give this one a look, not just for yet another Terminator movie but for one which actually may have redeemed it to it's former status, almost forgetting all the sub-par attempts to date to continue where Caeron left off.
I have to mention Tim Miller, who clearly understands the pace needed, by keeping it going and trying to achieve a story worth telling. Miller himself needs no introduction as he already brought life to Ryan Reynold's Deadpool and continues with his winning formulae with the Terminator franchise.
The movie was released on October 23, 2019 (Europe) and November 1, 2019 (United States). Made with a budget of $185,000,000 and having made only $261,119,292 worldwide, one wonders if this all is a little too late and the fans have had enough Terminator stories, that being said perhaps they should take a page out of Marvel Studios or even George Lucas Handbook and create an entire universe of characters with which to make new stories or movies about. At the slim chance that James Cameron comes across this article, I do hope he listens and utilises every bit of the Terminator lore to create his own Terminator legacy.
