Review of Terminator Genisys (2015) by Brianw — 22 Jul 2015
An enjoyable action film which at times is seemingly a parody of the Terminator franchise (a good thing!). Arnold is back and delivers an extremely entertaining performance full of cheesy one liners and some very active fight scenes! Some greatly humorous throwbacks to the original film during the scenes in the 80s which at times almost felt like you were watching an 80s flick.
CGI Arnold returns albeit briefly in an apparent stab at Salvation which I enjoyed and the plot was quite interesting. More modern scenes were quite accurate in their portrayal of our current obsession with being constantly connecting and the Windows 10 esque operating system was interesting.
John Connor delivered a fantastic performance and really made you fear the character at times, while Matt Smith's performance similarly shone out towards the end of the film. Overall, a slightly cheesy and action-orientated film but not one that deserves the bashing given by critics.
