Everything's dirty and gritty way more than Blade Runner, although that wasn't the point of Blade Runner, and that manner was a bit more cinematic.
Kyle Reese is too young for us to care about him. Not quite Phantom Menace bad.
Christian Bale's good, but there's nothing interesting for John Connor to do than have him yell.
Sam Worthington's character is a bit of a disappointment, albeit his entire destiny is sort of having to do with fate or something.
Mrs. Connor doesn't really have anything to do.
And there's a hot native American who can kick butt.
It recycles and complicates the theme of a robot being sentient somewhat adding a time travel element with a dead man.
The element of a robot with a heart saving John Connors life was sorta ironic, but interesting. However, he was the main selling point of the film, so it was weird killing him off.
The characters aren't really iconic or classic
And from the T cycle that's way too simple to use and hack.
Furthermore, there's a lot of reasons that we don't get immersed in it like we do in the other Terminator films:
- No anticorporate theme
- No time travel
- Very militaristic
- The rape scene isn't done with class only to appeal to a teens perception of what's dark.
