The script was just all over the place and presented a storyline which had holes all over the place and never bothered to give any concrete answers. Rewatchability (1) – The characters were not compelling enough though the actors did a good job. Even the filmmakers decided to discard these events in their next film.Ĭoherence (0.8) – The final Coherence score stands corrected against the Repercussion score to 0.8 (2 x 2/5). T-101’s past and purpose were left without any answers considering he was so central. We get to see John Connor as an older man in the future and a set of events that affect the past.īase Coherence (2) – The film creates a new timeline that messes around with the events of part 1 and part 2 in ways that really damages the classics. Repercussion (2) – This is the only film in the entire Terminator series that is set in more than one time.
