It all depends on which angle you decide to look this movie at. Let me explain: the Terminator franchise has a troubled story regarding timelines. Much like the X-Men one, it played with the order of events so much it became almost impossible for fans to understand it through. So if you're an old school Terminator fan you're probably gonna hate this since it pretty much revisits the first two movies and also changes the course of events ignoring Terminator 2 plot.
Instead if you're approaching the franchise without being so puristic or even having never watched the other movies I guarantee you're gonna like this. It's a nice film after all. It has good directing, great cgi and visual effects and above all a great cast led by main actors Emilia Clarke and Jason Clarke and of course the unmissable Arnold Schwarzenegger as the most fun Terminator Hollywood ever gifted us.
