Pity. The Terminator series of movies was more than a little tired but still basically entertaining. This review was the first I had seen of any trailers or clips from the movie.

Other than Arnold and Linda, it looks like the casting decisions were made by committee at a no-name coffee house by a group of millennials who consider themselves too hip for Starbucks. Not one person on screen in the clips sold gritty warrior like Michael Biehn did in the original.

Hint to Hollywood, if you're going to have an action/adventure movie with lots of, well, action and adventure, weapons, fights... You need to cast people who look like they belong in an action/adventure movie. You do not cast people who look like they should be guest stars on the latest crime drama. You know the guy/gal that comes onto the show and gets killed before the first commercial break. Or the ones who play the victim's room-mate lamenting "Oh why would anyone kill Jill and destroy her sustainable all organic garden!?" Where you're not sure if they're more upset about Jill or the garden...

Please Hollywood, let this be the end of the Terminator "franchise"... At this point it is a mercy killing.

Maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger will be able to land an Oscar nomination for this roll. He's had a long career and he looks kinda like Tom Hanks here.

Seriously, I'll bet it was the Starbucks at Santa Monica Blvd. @ Wilshire (LA).
