TERMINATOR : GENISYS (2015)
I have a ton to say about this thing but I am going to keep
it as short as I can, so you get that really “non-time consuming” feel you have
come to expect. This one is by far the most Dr. Who-ish time wise out of the
entire series. So much in fact that one of the doctors is freakin in it (Matt
Smith). Basically John has to send Kyle Reese (played by Jai Courtney who
helped ruin the last DIE HARD flick) back in time to keep his mother Sarah
Connor (played by Emilia Clarke most noted for her role in Game Of Thrones) alive.
Yeah – I know we have seen this before. Only this time everything is different
because Sarah is years younger and she’s got a friend with her.
Action and entertainment wise this movie is by a long shot
the best in the series. There is a single scene with helicopters in this movie
that blows away anything we’ve seen previously. The CGI is also some of the
best I have ever seen in several shots. Overall this is just non-stop fun and I
really can’t see fans of the series or sci-fi action in general not absolutely
loving it. The addition of Emilia Clarke was not only brilliant but it helped
bring this thing to life. We also get Arnold back in full force with a
simplistic but more than credible reason as to why he is now a bit older.
The
movie does leave us with some un-answered questions and it feels like it may
have been on purpose. If that is the case it’s not a good thing especially if
they are planning on another installment without Arnold. I also felt like we
had a few timeline issues in this which kind of break sci-fi time travel rules,
but I don’t think it’s anything a really well versed fan of Dr. Who couldn’t
explain in more detail. This movie doesn’t feel as gritty as I expected it to
and that is also a problem for me. This is the freakin Terminator, tame is not
the name of the game. The Skynet designs in Salvation were better in some parts
but inferior in others.
Overall this is a great summer time flick. When all is done
and said and the naysayers settle the crap down, this should be not only
welcome but regarded as one of the best in the series.
