(** nice try)
T:GEN - know its bad but just prefer it to 3/4 for the 2029/1984 stuff which was so cool watching 1st time in cinema.
T3
T:SAL - sometimes 3/4 can interchange they pretty even

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Terminator: Salvation | Terminator: Dark Fate (for now i'd say both movies are on par, while 'Rise of the Machines' only slightly better...)
Terminator: Genysis
***SPOILERS*** The way I see it, T2 + T1 were just a tier higher, or more, than the T3/DF. The latter two were ok enough movies, with Dark Fate actually being close to being worthy, but falling short still, and T3 an overall entertaining flick, with a "nice twist-ish ending" - just not good enough to follow the first two movies.
The constant pissing match between Grace and Sarah was both fun and, more times than not, very fucking forced/bad - it was just overdone.
There was little reason to off John Connor, other than introducing female fairly hot untrained mexican John Connor... I'd much have preffered them including John Connor instead, or along, which is very much possible and still even have Arnie in the role as the Terminator.
I hate the "Rev models", seems far more "cheap" designwise, with their overdone "spikyness", fluidity and agility. Skynet had far more years active, and yet it would seem Legion for some reason develops far more advanced "Revs" for no apparent reason.
I hate the name "Rev", which further removes them from the original Terminators and takes away any further reasons to ever call anything a Terminator in this franchise, as Carl supposedly was the last one. Terminator wont be Terminator without the T-8XX model - just my opinion ofcourse. ;)
However, despite the lacking story, the cast itself was good - they themselves did they best they could with the script given (Miss Reyes could up her game some, though), and the deageing effects were incredible. :D
The different tech and nomenclature makes sense since these machines are from a totally different machine organization (Legion vs Skynet) - it wouldn't make sense if they somehow copied the naming conventions that never existed.
