Bafflingly bad. You'd think getting Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger back together would at least add an interesting note of drama, but instead they've decided to rewrite Sarah Connor into a bitter, one-liner-spewing b---h and Arnold Schwarzenegger - you know, the original bad-boy Terminator - into a "funny" family man.
Probably most surprising to me was the surprisingly bad CG graphics used in this movie. The first scene has legitimately incredible CG, and every scene afterwards looks fake, overdone, and childish. It is a sad fact that Terminator 2, a movie that is officially 30 years old, had better computer generated graphics than this movie. Almost as bad are all the new characters. Your mileage may vary but I found myself completely unable to care about any of them at all. The new "hero" character is boring, the new "VIP" character is one-dimensional and annoying, and the new villain vacillates wildly between "unfeeling killing machine" and "LMAO so funny and relatable". Sarah Connor herself is now a completely unlikable psycho who is impossible to identify with. I have no idea who wrote this story but they deserve to be fired.
I regret watching this. Hell, Genisys was better by a very large margin.
