Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: - A man steps into time displacement equipment completely naked and gets teleported, arriving at his destination naked (buttocks visible, frontal nudity strategically hidden;)
- Eminating the scene from the first one, A male Terminator arrives from a time portal and walks forward with the cityscape in view (bare buttocks visible). A fight between him and another terminator ensues (frontal nudity strategically hidden).
- A man and woman step into time displacement equipment completely naked and get teleported, arriving at their destination naked (the man's buttocks are shown and the woman's upper buttocks are shown, no frontal nudity.)
Violence & Gore: Nearly constant sci-fi violence. Shooting with both laser guns and regular guns. Some blood shown. Terminators are shot, smashed, dropped, caught in explosions, and destroyed by acid. Vehicle chases and crashes. Explosions, destruction, and images of nuclear destruction, with millions blown away in a single blast. Stabbing with "liquid metal" blade-arms. Some scary scenes/jump-shocks/chases/pursuits.
There are scenes of cyborg against cyborg fighting, with cybernetic heads and arms being blasted or ripped off. Human characters are also shot and stabbed, but very little is seen in terms of blood or injury detail. In one scene small bloody bullet holes are visible in the torsos of several bodies lying on the floor in the background.
-A man being thrown face-first against a lamppost.
-A man being impaled against the door by a weapon that pierces through his chest.
-A man being stabbed before being shot repeatedly by a policeman who is in disguise.
-Coupled with frequent action scenes featuring fist-fighting with heavy blows and kicks, as well as scenes of shooting with impact visible
Profanity: "F--k" is used twice in the movie, and some other very infrequent language like, "bitch", "asshole."
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: none
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The action scenes as well as John Connor's transformation is intense.
Story: When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline. Now, Sgt. Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future
Likes : Come with me if you want to live !!!!! Wow dam the critics & over thinkers of this film , this was the terminator film of the year , ya there is a few funny moments but at least this time it was over the top cheesiness like terminator 3 that's the good thing, the begin of the film was just perfectly executed in the story to show a back ground of 6 billion lives ending from nuclear war the special effect were frightening.
Emilia Clarke incredible beautiful , best casting choice ever for this role as sarah connor, her performance playing a young rebel type conner that can handle her self was just spot on acting from this incredibly talented actress, most of you will reconise her from Game of thrones as the mother of dragon.
Jai Courtney best performance to date as kyle reese, love that fact they gave a few bits of funny moments as well as the moment where it get serious he holds he's own, Jai performance came off perfect to make a believable character. Even though Arnold Schwarzenegger is look old he actual looks the part for this aging terminator which is explain pretty well that the skin is living tissue it dose age, so that work well for him being in this film.
Good thing as well they didn't over do the funny moments so they did learn from the mistake of terminator 3 which i was happy with because they made these moment sutal & brief as not to ruin the flow of the film.
Jason Clarke performance was outstanding playing two part of this film so this really isn't a spoiler because it was show in the trailer which i feel was a mistake because that could of been kept a secret but still the other surprise in the film made that forgivable, Jason role as a terminator was a more advance matter technology from sky net like nanobyte tech which made this terminator type very dangerous much worst than the T-x PROTOTYPE in T3.
(Doctor who's) Matt Smith i heard was in the film i was wondering where he was in the film, then bang out of no-where they introduced him in the film, what a way to introduce him, i cant go into details because of the spoilers but dam what a brilliant role to give him, he play it with a very cold & vicious way that real give the role what it need to come across to audience. I like J.K. Simmons little cameo role in this film i though that was a nice touch, but as a whole this film was perfectly done although to some the time line thing might be confusing, but it pretty much easy to understand if you look in to time travel & alternate time lines when things are change.
The special effect in stunt were just awesome, the C.G.I as well wasnt actual over done, i bet alot of people were think it to much C.G.I but it you actual look close some of the terminator scene at the begin in the terminator camp weren't C.G.I they were models used from T2, i like that because it wasn't over the top C.G.I its was a blend i will say which probably some wont agree this was in tune with Cameron's original terminator film.
Despite the other bad review from curtain people, this was in my mind was a solid entry in to the terminator franchise, plus with a mid credit scene at the end to open it for a sequel was pretty perfect ending to open up a sequel to keep the franchise going.
Dislikes : There wasn't really any thing majorly wrong with this film other than the fact they should of keep bill paxton's character with the punks in it but still this film is a full on action pack film.
Overall : Great action, great story, solid entry to the terminator franchise worth checking out.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for concept.
