Review of Terminator Genisys (2015) by Lukechristiansc — 11 Jul 2015
The way "Terminator: Genisys" was promoted was unacceptable, the trailer spoiled the film by giving some major details that should not of happened.The film tries to do something that the franchise have never done before but it's confusing on the other hand and that's what the film is going for, but it has a good idea trying to destroy Skynet before it's start a revolution between humans and machines, it's sounds good right? The script is so convoluted filled with plot holes and it barely makes any sense, obviously the film is written by people who don't care for the franchise.
The film has lackluster action, that's odd because the terminator series has great action scenes, director Alan Taylor does a slick way of directing the action scenes and copying off of James Cameron.
John Connor (Jason Clarke) the leader of the human resistance, sends solider Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back in 1984 to protect his mother Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke from 'Game of Thrones') from another terminator assassin, creating an unexpected turn of the events in the timeline; in the first Terminator Sarah is a scared waitress, but now she is a skilled fighter and has her Terminator guardian (played once again by Arnold Schwarzenegger) by her side.
With good allies and dangerous enemies Reese sets out on an unexpected new mission: reset the future and prevent Skynet from launching their app before the robot apocalypse starts and destroys mankind.
There are many flaws with the movie, Arnold once again is great and brings so much energy and like ability into the Terminator and Jai Courtney was missed cast however he was fine playing Kyle Reese. Emilia Clarke was missed cast as Sarah Connor (she can act but not in this movie) she over does with her performance and Jason Clarke was not a mediocre version of John Connor like Nick Stahl, Clarke can act but doing over doing it as the John Connor character.
The film is not cheesy or cliche'd it's confusing as hell and the action is mediocre.
