Let me first start off by saying that this isn’t a bad movie at all. Cliched and formulaic, yes. 33% rotten? I don’t think so. I don’t want this to be a long review, just a quick opinion. The film starts out with two stories, John Connor and Marcus Wright, and they merge in the middle. Marcus Wright is a Terminator sent to infiltrate and locate Connor and his band of resistance fighters. He succeeds with both objectives. When Marcus discovers he’s more machine than man, he also discovers he has a heart (psychically and metaphorically). You see, he was convicted murderer put to death before Judgment Day. When he donated his body to science, those dumb-asses at Skynet apparently misplaced his sociopath tendencies and fucked up their little world domination game. As for Marcus, everything would have been fine and dandy if he hadn’t lost John’s father, a teenage Kyle Reese, to a Skynet concentration camp.
