Review of Terminator Genisys (2015) by Moonlightmaniac — 05 Jul 2015
I actually give Terminator Genisys a 7.5 but I will round up since the overall reviews are lower than I think it should be. For reference I consider T1 and 2 a tie because I like the more dark and thriller like tone of the original movie I would give them both a 9.
3 I would give a 6.5 and Salvation a 6. Today it seems almost impossible to please movie fans with the fact that the special effects can be so amazing now. Movies that have mostly practical effects that are executed at a high level will always trump the fake ass CGI effects that most movies deploy today.
The new Terminator seems to have a fair amount of practical effects in it and I overall enjoyed the movie. It was fun especially the first half when they had the nostalgic element running high. The 1984 reimagining was a lot of fun.
The new Terminator was really cool and the action scenes were good to me. I was able to follow the story fine. The time travelling thing is getting old and I am ready for them to put that to bed. Have a movie set after Judgement day already finish off Skynet and put this series to bed already.
Its like watching the same thing over and over. They've milked the lets come up with an even more bad ass Terminator than the last time and have it come after Sarah, John and Kyle again storyline. If they do another movie like it I will not see it.
But once again for a summer popcorn movie and the nostalgia factor I thought the movie was a fun time.
