Is it the best sequel since T-2? Well not really.

There is no way anything is going to beat The Terminator or Judgement Day, i would probably put this on par with The Sarah Connor Chronicles not T3, That boring mess Salvation or the WTF reboot Genisys.

2 things that did surprise me was the opening reusing Sarah's psych eval by Doctor Silberman from T2, and how they handle John Connor by killing him in 30 seconds. which to be honest I had no problem with. Just focusing on John Connor and The Terminator itself and taking Sarah out of the picture for T3 and Salvation never really worked for me.

for the cast - of course Linda Hamilton will always be Sarah Connor no one can really deny that, Mackenzie Davis was enjoyable as sort of a merge of the T800 and Kyle Reese, i'm sad to say however the weak link is Natalia Reyes, her character Dani Ramos was just bland making her this new prophet in the future now that John's been wiped out was so obviously signposted.

Can i really recommend this? If you're a hardcore fan? Not really but a casual fan of the 1984 classic? maybe wait till it shows up on 4k, Blu Ray or DVD.
