Trivia:
In a scene where the Terminator/Guardian is looking over a new type of ammo, he mentions that he read about it in Soldier of Fortune magazine. In preparing for the first Terminator movie, Arnold Schwarzenegger trained everyday for weeks on weapons handling and as a result wound up garnering a compliment in Soldier of Fortune magazine for his realistic handling of the guns on camera.

Lets not even attempt to compare this to Cameron's originals but sadly
it doesn't even have the guilty pleasure aspect of 3 or the ideas of
Salvation this is just a lack luster cash grab. I can understand why
Arnold would want to go back to a sure thing after his recent box
office disappointments but honestly I'd have more faith in a new Conan
or True Lies film than this. The action is fit for a mediocre Marvel
film and really doesn't suit Terminator to be bouncing about like the
Hulk. The drawn out plot which is clearly a trilogy idea that wouldn't
fit one side of A4 feels like a pilot for a 90's TV show and the
effects are poor. When Arnold loses his skin it's mostly CGI and he
looks like Kano, no blood because you know the kids might get scared. I
really hope this flops so Arnold might go to another franchise and give
us something decent in his aging years. Truly disappointing.
