For a cartoon movie, the best part for me and my wife was the romance. The innocence and awakening was portrayed very nicely. This movie is for the child in the adult.
Ask "Who is the terminator in this movie" and this movie will seem much better than the endless and mindless action. With each movie the Terminator has newer powers each time becoming closer to a normal human. This time skynet creates a Terminator who is so human to strike at Kyle Reese, John Connor's future father and John himself. But has skynet made the Terminator too human?
The basic premise is good. But some of the acting is wooden, the leads lack charisma, the action sequences fail to stay in the mind, there are too many holes in the plot and the references to previous terminator movies fail to be the homage for fanboys.
Overall this is an OK Movie but not the reboot to Terminator like Dark Knight was to the Batman series.
