Good story, acting, and action. They tried to fit too much in, in too little time in my opinion. They should've made movie longer, or focused on just a few key items and this movie would've ruled all the Terminator flicks. A lot more suffering and torture of the humans at skynet would've made you hate the machines more and would've added some drama to the flick. Perhaps the director's cut DVD will have it all. Still worth seeing.
