O Exterminador do Futuro: As Crônicas de Sarah Connor

Skip: Rise of the Machines Salvation, Genisys, & Dark Fate

Those films aren't worth your time. Watch:

Terminator, Terminator 2 Judgement Day, & Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles

This is the true sequel and a worthy successor to the two great films. The only problem with this series is that it was canceled before its time and ended on perhaps the biggest tease for a future season that you could possibly think of. It really guts me that we didn't get to see the future they promised in the final minutes of the finale here.

The acting is good, it's filled with fun action, the effects are a little dated, but you know what? Just enjoy the ride, as brief as it will be.

This show has taken some weird turns but overall is still one of the better sci-fi shows on prime time. When I heard this show was danger of being canceled I almost flipped. They are going to far with the canceling. Just because a show doesn't rate in the ever changing top 5 doesn't mean it's not a hit with the fans. I do enjoy Camerons strange terminator antics and John I-am-tired-of-trying-to-be-a-future-hero attitude. Sarah holds this all together with her stubbornness and relentless pursuit of trying to stop judgment day. Now it does get a little to unbelievable with Sarah's flashbacks and delusions of Kyle. Also the fact that there is a little bit of sexual attraction implied at John with Cameron is strange. But none the less a great show.

This show was the best addition to the Terminator franchise since James Cameron's own Terminator 2. Set two years after the events of T2, it portrayed some absolutely gripping situations as Sarah and John are in hiding in preparation for Judgement day.

Lena Heady is fantastic as Sarah Connor, and Thomas Dekker bears a striking resemblance to Edward Furlong which really adds some visual connective tissue to the proceedings. Even the "Teeninator" Cameron (Summer Glau), who I thought would be mega-annoying and drag everything down into Smallville pap territory is brilliant.

The series makes a great change in that not every Terminator looks like Arnie, which makes perfect sense, becasue it'd be a crap infiltration unit if they could be identified by facial features alone.

The downside is that there is a noticeable and pretty significant drop in quality between both seasons with the show suffering from some very poor writing in Season 2. This was most likely due to the writer's strike at the time and so with that in mind I think Fox were far too fast to cancel it. It does has other issues like some ropy VFX and some unexplained behavioural changes in the characters, but I'm certain that a third season would have ironed out all those problems. Fox probably threw away a big money maker and a potential classic.

It's sad that the show was perhaps made about ten years too early. If it had been a Netflix funded show made today then the advancements in TV VFX and a (probably) larger budget would have really beefed up the show's appeal. Having James Cameron himself as a producer would maybe have kept the writing in line too. The rights revert back to him next year so it's not too late ;)

It's a crying shame that such a great show ended so early, but regardless, there's plenty here for any rabid Terminator fan to sink their teeth into - and it's FAR more appetising than any of the post James Cameron feature films.

Action, suspense and drama.

This show has everything. I absolutely love it. It's shocking that a show this good only had 2 seasons and horrible shows live on.

This show should've last 5-6 seasons.

This show was excellent.

So good and easily the best sequel to terminator and T2 we ever got. Can't believe it ended so soon. Lena heady and Summer Glau in particular killed it but everyone was great.
