Just watched this again, last I watched this was in 2014. Anyway this is still a visually spectacular version of terminator franchise.
It had a more gritty feel and remains more of a war movie with a few references to a few war movies, particularly the motor cycle jump that came straight from the classic movie ‘the great escape’ .
One thing I don’t quite get is why Kyle Reese , John Connors father is a little kid in this time line. May be as I type this out I’ll figure it out. Time travel is kinda weird I guess.
