I am fairly critical of film and was recently disappointed with Jurassic World, Southpaw, and some others for various reasons, but this one took me by surprise. I had low expectations, figured it wouldn't fit well or be on par with T1 or T2 and during the first 15 minutes I was sure I was right. However it turned out to be a great addition to the story and was remarkably well executed, mostly. A few scenes in the beginning looked as if they were cut from T1 but other than that the cgi was good, audio was fantastic, as was the other effects. The acting was good not great, but certainly acceptable for this type of film. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a natural robot, and the new Sarah Connor was very reminiscent of the original. Anyways it's a great movie, much better than anticipated, so don't just overlook it, as I almost did.
Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    I guess this goes to show you people like different things, I say this because Jurrasic World, and South Paw are much better movies over the new Terminator movie, it dosent come close to T1 or T2, yeah it might tie into the story, and the audio is good on the HT but the movie is just ok...

    I thought Jurassic World was good and fell in line with 2 and 3 but not better then the first one.
    Terminator was fantastic as I also had low expectations and it blew me away how good it was.
    Could care less about South Paw

    I liked Terminator Genisys. I liked Jurassic World.I try not to compare sequels and re-do's to their originals as you will usually will be disappointed. For me the question of did it entertain me is the only criteria...Didn't see Southpaw either.

    Without getting into it too much, I ask myself how this particular scene/film could have been better. Southpaw and Jurassic World could have been so much better.
