Terminator Genisys

Pretty contrived and cheesy but the acting wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's fun, has plenty of action and throwback Easter eggs. It won't blow you away but it's a decent action flick. If it had a better script it would have had more potential.

Not quite as bad as i thought it would be, Terminator: Genisys brings back the nostalgia of the first two films. It even has the same old-school vibe to it. But when you get to its core, Genisys is simply a rehash of the first two masterpieces, which are so good there was no point in revisiting them.

Paradoxes puzzle and abound, contradictions, conflict, chaos all confound, no rhyme or reason to the madness, no method to the flatness, just concept caged confusion to astound.

It's all a bit cobbled and confused, inconsistent, quite erratic and diffused, some spectacular set pieces, the action seldom ceases, but the arc, the arch, the story's all bemused.

The story starts a bit confusing, but after a short time it's back to business. It's a great addition to the series and it's nice to see Arnold back in this role. The special effects are not always the best, but most parts look great. The new type terminator is great, but the old T800 is still not obsolete. The story is convincing enough and can be the prelude of new additions to this series. I hope Arnold will be part of these. It's a pity 3D is still the norm in most cinemas. This movie is best viewed in normal 2D. It's dark en there are no special benefits in 3D. The movie gives also a good critical note about our dependency of our smart-phones, tablets and the Internet integration. Genisys might be more true that we realize ;)

I was told multiple times that it was awful, boring, unwatchable, so foolishly I didn't.

However, I thought I'd give it a try, and I really liked it. Of course it's flawed, of course it's outrageous and over the top, but the good heavily outweighs the bad, it made me feel incredibly nostalgic, plenty of references and heads up to the first two films.

It was a huge gamble to bring Arnie back, I think he's brilliant here, I've never been a huge lover of him as an actor, but in this role he is iconic. He's great. Great to see Matt Smith.

Massive special effects, it's all guns blazing. It is perhaps a little too long.

Totally enjoyed it, 7/10.
