Very average! Not dark enough IMO... nice surprise towards the end though! A little confusing and drawn out at places I dont think needed to be!
Big SCI FI fans worth a look...
not really a sci fi fan? Wait for the DVD..
Movies aint cheap anymore and a movie date as a "cheap alternative" is nonsense
Parking $5
2 tickets $22
Combo 1 2 medium sodas and a large popcorn $18
Making out as least? PRICELESS?

Total: $45

saw it tonite and I agree the timing was off unless they go back in the next one, which I doubt. But overall I loved it and so did the wife!

when are we able to start discussing the movie? a couple weeks so there's no spoilers?
i liked it, but i've got questions... also, what do people mean the timing is off?
 
I just feel That it was too far past judgement day, I thought they wouldve started right after. If we want to start a new thread that has a spoiler warning on the title I think that would work.

I think they had to because of connor's mother telling him that he would meet reese when kyle was just a teen.

my "questions" after seeing the movie:
1) why didn't they just kill reese when they had the chance? I mean, kill the dad, he can't go back in time to father connor. Or... is the machine, in all of it's infinite wisdom, uninformed as to the father of connor?
2) how did arnold show up when he wasn't supposed to be in the films???
3) i HATED it that connor said "i'll be back" it was so CHEESEY!
4) I feel they definitely cast the right person for Reese
5) Connor was the target of three different types of terminators, yet he was surprised by the ability of Cyberdyne to surprise him with Marcus's type of terminator. why wouldn't he think cyberdyne could come up with more technological robots than the crappy t600's that seemed to take up most of the movie?
6) you get a piece of unistrut through your chest cavity and you mean to tell me you don't die there instantly due to your lungs filling with blood or your heart being pierced??? the terminator MISSED a vital organ??? COMEON!

its funny you mention all of this, because it is the stuff that bugged me as well.... except for the ARNOLD cameo which I thought was awesome!
1. I dont believe the machines know that reese is johns father, they just knew that Marcus had contact with reese, and marcus would lead connor to the headquarters, which they set a trap for connor.
2. I believe arnold has certain rights to the films and decided last minute to make the cameo..... At least thats what I read.
3. "Ill be back' was very cheesy, as well as the GNR song playing when connor got on the motorcycle.
4.I agree looks were very similar.
5. Right! Where were the T1000's?? Have they not got to that point yet??? Kinda confused me.
6. This bugged me as well, but I guess thats hollywood for you. And why take Marcus's heart.... he seemed way to valuble to the resistance to just let him die, but I think he "will be back" somehow.
What bugged me the most was the differences in the TV series to the movie. Makes me wish they never made the tv series, however, I enjoyed it! But according to the series Teenage John met Reese in the future and Reese was a ranking officer, and in the movie John didnt even know what he looked like.
Overall I love the movie though and cant wait for the next installment.

right, BUT why send marcus FOR reese, why were the other terminators (that flying thing) identifying him, then backing off? was it just a trap? do they somehow know that reese is very important for connor but don't know why?
i don't think the tv show has anything to do with this movie. it's time frame is all messed up, but did you notice at the season (show) finale reese didn't even know who connor was, IE since he jumped in time there was no connor with the resistance?
i'd bet that we'll start seeing the advanced terminators in the upcoming movies. maybe marcus was just an advanced arnold terminator (cyborg with skin and organs)
