Review of Terminator Genisys (2015) by Jacob — 11 Jan 2016

Terminator Genysis is basically a dumber and more convoluted film than Terminator 3. The film either retreads old ground or gets entangled in a convoluted story for the sake of resetting the timeline. There are elements of characters in the form of a hardened Sarah Connor but it’s never explored enough as the film gets way too bogged down in explaining the plot.

Just when it seems like the film is dipping its toe into original territory it boils down to the exact same climax we’ve seen a million times. The film ends with our characters driving off down the road knowing for the first time in their life that they are free to choose their own path.

Hopefully that’s what the next Terminator will do.
