Apparently the movie originally ended with John Connor dying and becoming a terminator, but fans went nuts about that, so they changed the ending. So youre left with a fairly shakey movie that has no real ending or purpose, other than to introduce characters for a potential trilogy.
The graphics were cool, action is good, but thats pretty much all there is. They touch on the humanity concept like in T2, where Arnie became closer to human and almost like a father to John, but its really not thought provoking. Even as a fan of Bale, he does spend the whole movie just being shoutey Batman/angry Patrick Bateman.
Its watchable, enjoyable, but its definitely Hollywood aiming for box office revenues with minimal effort, not trying to make a good movie.
