Movie Reviews
TERMINATOR: GENISYS ignores the events of the second two films, re-stages bits from the first pair and throws in enough new curve-balls for three sequels, with so many Terminators running around that Arnold Schwarzenegger's central role is billed as "The Guardian" in the end credits.Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Terminator Genisys" houses possibly his best performance of the saga, evolving both as his character and as an actor. Audiences would never have thought that from the trailer. His T-800 shows more intelligence and becomes a more lovable father figure type, a personality Schwarzenegger executed with his own type of grace, believe it or not.The story for "Terminator Genisys" was captivating, somewhat fresh, not confusing and implemented quite well at the proper times. Nostalgia of the 1984 original was at an all time high for the first half and hour of the film, for reasons you will have to see on your own, no spoilers here. Ultimately a little of each of the previous Terminator films were sprinkled throughout, some even combining them all together at once.The action was pretty effective throughout the two hour and five minute running time, lots of cool explosions and sound editing was pretty amazing. Visually there were ups and downs, but nothing like I was prepared for.Overall, I really did have a blast watching "Terminator Genisys.The costars – including Byung-Hun Lee as the new T-1000, Matt Smith, JK Simmons, and Courtney B. Vance – are fun to see. But it's really the action set pieces, massive detonations, and all-out hand-to-hand combat that are the real stars of Terminator Genisys.The blend of top-notch CGI, realism, stunts, and breakneck pace keep all the exploding balls in the air, and the 3D is blissfully easy on the eyes.'ve always loved the story and the time travelling aspect, this did the trick and I believe did a justice to the series even though most would disagree with me there. I would recommend watching it. It's not one of the summers best, but one of those films that is much better on the big screen than in your home.The BACK TO THE FUTURE 2 of TERMINATOR
