Terminator Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

[Khev]

Rating of PG-13 total non issue. Was pretty intense throughout

Yes. Loved watching the Spider Tanks

Spoiler

obliterating dozens of Resistance fighters.

Yeah I was into it, and wanted more...........of the future, not gore I mean. LOL

I just have one question: who the heck sent 'Pops' back in time prior to 1984? They never make that clear....

 

[Khev]

Khev is either a sincere troll. Or Evil Khev. Muahaha.

Not trolling. Maybe sentimentality is clouding my judgment but I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

[a-dev]

No, totally, but it does fit the story. T-John is a true Terminator in the sense he can perfectly mimic humans now, but I was still like, 'shut this chatty motherchatter down!!!!'

I guess that kinda makes sense but from what we hear of him in the trailers....it's like Khev said - a bit Ultron. And I thought Ultron was a very weak villain.

Having said that, your two reactions have given my interest a bit of a jumpstart again.

First Evil John, then Khev. Now Matt S. Can Evil a-dev, Wor-Gar, DiFabio and jye be far behind?

I was just kidding. I just find it hard to believe that a movie that looked so awful in trailers can even be decent, let alone pretty good.

 

[Khev]

Actually him being Ultron-like is related to something in the plot about who he is and what Skynet is doing but I won't get into that until more of you see it. But even the heroes took note of how "chatty" he was.

T-John isn't the villian, at all. That is still Skynet. T-john is just a Terminator. Very advanced in every way, especially knowledge, but Skynet is the true enemy in the movie

I am seeing this at least once more, so hey............and it looked nice on Imax. Skip 3d though - no point


Scariest aspect of the story in this one: Skynet is a free Apple App!!!!!

^ Thanks for the reply chaps.

Well well folks, we may have a dilemna. All our 'resistance' seems partially 'futile' suddenly.

Lowered expectations FTW.

Yes. I thought the movie had an awesome first 45 minutes or so. The whole future war and then all the 1984 stuff with the T-1000. But it does lull a bit in the middle before ending on a high note. It is not T1 or T2 but was a very fun chapter nonetheless. Glad to see the T-800, and Arnold, still having a little fight left in him.

probably for the best........I mean, nothing can touch T1 and T2

So...is it better than Jurassic World?

If it's better than T3, I'd call that a minor victory.

True story, I was walking out of this movie and a dad and young son were walking out, talking about it. Kid was saying, 'this was my favorite of all of them!' The dad gasped slightly. I almost died laughing

No. But it was a better Terminator movie than Jurassic World.

Wow, you saw the very moment where a little piece of him died inside

Kids are stupid. I thought RoboCop 2 and Predator 2 were better than their predecessors. But I was a kid. And stupid.

Jurassic World was fun.......I would say this movie's first hour equalled that one for me, in terms of entertainment value

 

[Khev]

I was genuinely pissed the way the parking garage scene played out knowing how much cooler it would have been if the trailers hadn't spoiled it. That was a defining moment for John AND Pops.

Marketing blew the reveal of T-John. Lame. I love Matt Smith (or should I say Matthew Smith - weird), but he was a cameo practically

Yeah, same. Well, I will change my boardname to 'e-dev' if, after a few viewings, I actually like this movie.

Hmm. Acknowledgement of the fact in the movie itself may count for something....maybe.
