Terminator Genisys is the newest entry of the Terminator franchise and again sees The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) continue their fight against SkyNet along with John Connor (Jason Clarke) and Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) but this time an app called Genisys promises to bring about the famed Judgment Day.
Look this movie is not a terrible one but it is also not very good either for these three reasons:
- The first is that the storyline feels very convoluted and at times the film is tying itself up in knots in terms of how it tries to make sense with the first 2 films from James Cameron as well as trying to reboot the series (and it was this point where I was reminded very much of X-Men Days of Future Past from last year but that film had Bryan Singer holding a very firm hand on the whip whereas here Alan Taylor doesn't really seem to have any idea as to what he wants to do with this film.)
- The second is that the film feels very bland to sit through and again I come back to Taylor's direction, it has no life in it and when you compare it to the dark and grimy LA nights that Cameron brought in the first Terminator as well as the high tech gloss that he brought to the 2nd film everything here feels very very bland and forgettable and not to mention very noisy with its endless BWAMMM DOOOOOP COOOOOOMMMM sounds that feel more at home in the Transformers series.
- And lastly the film is just an overall boring movie to sit through in the cinema, the action scenes are forgettable, the performances for the most part don't resonate save for Clarke and Arnold (I would've much rathered watch them together as their story was kinda nice) and the musical score (a real highlight of the first 2) feels very by the notes (then again Hans Zimmer helped produce it so you can't be totally surprised.)
Look Terminator Genisys when I look at it is not the worst film in the world but to be very very honest I would much rather recommend the first 2 Terminator films and X-Men Days of Future Past to you instead as those are much more worth your time because this movie is not, 1.5 out of 5.
