the movie showed the beginning of the robotic creation and the unwilling bond between man and machine since john connor could not survive with out, even though most robotics were out to kill him. arnold (protecter in 2 and 3 and now marcus) who will it be in 5 and 6 of the t series,guess we will just have to wait.it was good to see john and father meet up for the first time in the series and maybe the next movie we'll see where john sends father to the past .i would recommend this movie because it does show a lot of action and there is a lot more of the fighting machines
