I was amused to see a comment on the (closed) doctors.net.uk Film forum that read: "Story the same as the previous five".
How true!
But - if it ain't bust, don't fix it.
Terminator fans will just revel in the self referential glory of the script and the actors.
The knowing humour, easy to deride, is an essential element in this 5th outing of the franchise which would have been entirely inappropriate in T1 or, to a lesser extent T2.
And what could be more 2019 than 3 strong female characters?
And not just mentally tough either.
Linda Hamilton exhibited great biceps in T2 - and even now at the age of 62 remains pretty buff. Her rasping elder statesman act is reminiscent of Joan Crawford.
Mackenzie Davis exhibits delectably toned bare shoulders and arms throughout.
The plot device to reintroduce Arnie is ingenious if improbable, and there is enough new stuff to retain the interest through the 135 minutes of the show.
Highly enjoyable/
