Reviews & comments

Variety
pressNervy, silly, almost admirably misguided attempt to give the 31-year-old franchise a massive cybernetic facelift.

Total Film
pressThe ending has one WTF moment that lacks credibility, even in this logic-defying loopy universe. But by then, you'll have most likely given in - and just accepted this as the barmiest Terminator yet.

Time Out
pressFans hoping to watch Schwarzenegger growl his catchphrases with a slight edge of shtick are underestimating the patience involved in sitting through a two-hour slog.

The New York Times
pressSchwarzenegger, 67, is, yes, back, because while the series thrill is lamentably long gone, franchises now apparently last forever.

The Guardian
pressIt's as if it has gone back in time to murder our memories of the ancestral first film and crush the series' reputation.

The Dissolve
pressThe film almost completely falls apart in the second half when it becomes as loud as it is tedious.

Sydney Morning Herald
pressThe problem is that nothing carries much weight - not the stilted romance between Sarah and Kyle, not the effect-driven action sequences, not even the threat of apocalypse, with billions of lives supposedly in the balance.

FilmInk
pressIt somehow lovingly homages a great film while pissing all over it at the same time.

Empire Magazine
pressPart remake, part remix, part sequel. But it doesn’t add up to a worthy successor for the James Cameron originals.
