As a massive fan of the terminator franchise who’s watched all the movies dozens of times growing up with my dad, I can say this was the best instalment since T2 Judgement Day. It’s thrilling, engaging, thought provoking and a great evolution of the franchise. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Terminator Zero starts off clearly reminiscent of earlier instalments of the series, borrowing concepts from the first two films, the spin off tv series and more, but by the halfway point it establishes itself as something unique. While yes it has cool fights and action scenes, the character drama and philosophical questions ...

Approaching "Terminator 0" with no particular expectations and little memory of the original franchise, I was intrigued by the series' fresh perspective, centering on a Japanese scientist. The initial episodes of the anime were surprisingly engaging, characterized by minimal dialogue, intense gore, and some development of the characters, which provided a solid foundation for the story.

This show starts off with a lot of promise but quickly spirals into a mess, becoming almost unwatchable with each episode.

In the end, they fail at both, creating a chaotic disaster. The community has already pointed out issues like incorrect subtitles for the Japanese version and how the Terminator moves awkwardly like a drunk zombie, so I won’t dive into that. However, one thing that's not often discussed ...
