Film reviews: Terminator Genisys | Otago Daily Times Online News : Otago

On the other hand, the film was also commonly described as more fun than “Terminator: Salvation”, although that doesn’t say that much.

Now I’m all for a bit of time-travelling action (I thought Looper was brill, not to mention Back to the Future), but I could have had Stephen Hawking sitting next to me and I’d still have struggled to keep abreast of this paradoxical plot. And if that’s all you’re really expecting from the film, you can go in and have a good time, for that it accomplishes.

Bringing back the younger Arnold Schwarzenegger, the one we knew much before his political days, makes Terminator Genisys the ideal vehicle to continue his film career.

Geek darling Emilia Clarke starring, a new twist playing with the series’ timeline, and the eagerly anticipated return of Arnold Schwarzenegger, it looked as though Jurassic World might be knocked from the top spot at the box office. “Which we don’t, because the movie is a straight 10, it’s a fantastic movie”. If the franchise is continued, the producers should definitely take a more serious look at the current sci-fi scene and implement some more interesting ideas in the storyline instead of relying on the same old collection of tropes.

This is where Reese is sent back through the time machine to make the whole 1984 film happen. Yes time travel movies always have problems but at one point in the second act John Connor tells Sarah it doesn’t matter if he kills her because he’s already traveling in time. This version of Sarah is very different from the wretched, guerilla-style mom that we’ve become accustomed to. It wasn’t complicated, which is more that can be said for this version. Nevertheless the father agreed to see Terminator: Genisys for his son’s 30th birthday.

Nobody believes him, but he does sorta know what’s up, or is beginning to figure out what the whole story is here. Terminator Genisys is a good enough movie to get people in to an air conditioned room to eat popcorn on a hot day, it’s a nice familiar move where lots of things blow up.

“I think it would be a fabulous place to go and walk around and absorb the art and feel the importance of what was happening historically that time”. After all, the one-liners aren’t quite hot if they don’t come after LA is laid to waste, right?
