Terminator Genisys

 

 

It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!

  Directed by Alan Tyler this 2015 Sci-Fi movie is in my opinion a great one.  It blends the original movies cleverly as it follows a new time line.  The attention to detail in the first 25 minutes is clinical and very nostalgic, clearly they wanted to insure they captivated the original audience.  The plot is ok... well mostly and the action sequences throughout are entertaining.

  Sarah Connor played by Emilia Clarke is superb, she mimics Linda Hamilton's original  role flawlessly.  I felt she made the movie really tick and I always respect someone who can pull you in with just a look, let alone her monologues.  She has real emotion and grace.  I also think she is going to become a real seat filler going forward.  Arnie is great, as arguably his best ever character.  In this installment he is aptly named 'pops'.  The Way they cover his age is genius.  He is on form and really brings the film cast together.  Which brings me on to Jason Clarke and Jai Courtney who play John Connor and Kyle Reese,  they do well to bring the roles to life.  Holding there own against the previous actors.  Filling Michael Biehn's shoes was never going to be easy.

  There will be many who don't like this movie and I doubt it will win any awards.  However I stand by my prior opinion and urge you to watch it on the big screen.  The special effects are great throughout, I felt like I was 12 again and watching T2 for first time!  

  If you loved the original 2 movies, I struggle to see why you won't love Genisys.  It fits really  well as a third instalment (as we all know it should only of been 2). 

It gets a solid 8 out of 10.
