I hated the last entry, Salvation, because it was just ridiculous. This one however touched all the points that matter. For the 2nd time we see the legendary John Connor in the real but this time so much more convincing.
Jason Clarke has made his mark on this franchise and he should return for any planned sequels. He is very good in this role. I know some die hard fans unlike me may disagree but just imagine what a mess Christian Bale would have been if he was recast here.
I love the concept although the nexus of events that happen and don't happen is confusing and a bit difficult to digest. One short coming is the human like behavior of Arnie's bot that is somewhat difficult to accept as no other bot is expected to have become self aware. For any sequels this should be addressed and replaced with the flat one liners of T:1.

I have always been an action cartoon fan ever since the original Transformers back in 90s. And I really like the humor or should I call it wittiness of the protagonist (Rex). This is complimented well by the arch enemy Van Kleiss who has the best original theme music, go ahead fish it on you-tube.
Our hero is a teen struggling with various moral dilemmas about right and wrong when using his super powers. He has the ability to generate various mechanical stuff from his limbs using the nanites in his body. Actually the whole world is shown to be infected due to an incident but only he has the ability to command and control them. He can also cure others by diffusing their nanites. He is often seen comparing orders with moral consciousness about consequences. I love it all. And to add to it our hero is intelligent enough to take good decisions. He has Agent Six as a father figure to look up to, who looks like Agent Smith from Matrix but never the less, a bad ass mentor the kind not to mess with. He manages to balance Rex's silliness well. The side kick Chimp Bobo is also a likable character and adds to the mix. Doctor Holiday is a motherly figure although too pretty for Rex to accept, so he hits on her regularly. The wittiness is very good especially when it involves Van Kleiss.
I like stories which detour the least from main story line but with Rex even the detours are fun to watch. Overall one of the best action cartoons out there.
