Not Great, but good. I remember seeing the first movie in 84, I was 16. Saw it dozens of times in the movies, I loved it. I look at this film as a new idea with different characters. Arnold's age has Caught up with him. I hope that the NEXT film is better, more dark. Let's get to 2029 and get to it. That's what I think alot of us want to see. I want something as huge as Lord of the Rings. Make it a two part film. This 4th film could have been so much better if they didn't cram so much into it. It has potential, and could be a great reboot for the Terminator. Just get to the battle, lots of Terminators. Make it rated R, and show the blood the death, the starvation the pain and the loss. Remember this was a nuclear war that wiped out everything. Make it dark, and cold and violent, like the original films showed the war........I hope they listen to fans and take our ideas. It could be great. By the way Moon Bloodgood is HOT! I have to say being an original fan of Terminator, the movie was good. Not Great, but good. I remember seeing the first movie in 84, I was 16.

Technologically, Marcus is more advanced. But he's more human than the T-800s, and that means he's more vulnerable. In the first Terminator for instance, if it was a Marcus-type model chasing after Sarah and Kyle, there would be no robot walking out of the burning rubble from the truck that blew up. In Terminator 2, Marcus would more than likely have died several times fighting the T-1000 in the foundry. Arnold was still struggling (and eventually got back up) when T-1000 rammed that pipe through his chest. Marcus's insides would've been turned to Jello at that point. So while Marcus is more advanced, and is actually more in line with what Cameron initially wanted for the original terminator (an every day looking guy who could blend in well), Marcus doesn't have the never-ending endurance and can't also take advantage of the perks that being a robot has (like being able to see in the dark, such as is mentioned and seen when Arnold was driving Sarah and John from the city in T2).

The wonders of the internet. So I'll just answer the question and hope I don't make a foul of my self. Family movies get more screens all the time. It's just the way it is. I'm not sure why Terminator was so low on screens I still can't figure that out. I mean summer action films usually always get a hefty amount of screens regardless of being good or bad especially if they are PG-13. If the movie had been R it would make a little more sense, but I really didn't get it with this movie. Not sure if your legitimately asking or if your being sarcastic. The wonders of the internet.

Surprisingly it got the shaft on theater counts, but did very well in the ones it made it to. Just comparing it to Night at the museum. Friday Openings Theaters/Amount per theater. Night at the - 4,096 / $3,801 Terminator - 3,530 / $4,196 Saturday Night at the - 4,096 / $4,904 Terminator - 3,530 / $4,117 i think it’s interesting and should be pointed out that Terminator actually did very well if you look at the number of theaters it was actually in.

Having SkyNet know that he is Connor's father makes the movie fail because a computer would know that killing Reese would also kill Connor.
