Thoughts
This movie has been hanging around in the back of my mind for ages to watch, I wanted to see Linda Hamilton kicking some ass again, and eventually the time was right to give it a watch. It was so bad, like somehow everyone had forgotten how to make films. There were time travel questions that I couldn’t figure out, the fight between Terminators and other Terminators or enhanced humans was pretty dull and quite a few of the stunt sequences would clearly have ended in death for our dear Dani. But, you know, there were a couple of good moments so it was entertaining enough to watch all the way through. Definitely not recommended though.
