Terminator Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

There's no chemistry at all between any of the actors.

Terminator 2 is the best by far and Terminator (the first movie) is the second best.

No, not even close.

There's no chemistry at all between any of the actors.

That's because the actors are mostly made for tv actors that weren't really all that good to begin with. Love GoT but I don't find her to be particularly that great in it as far as acting goes.

I never watched GOT, but she was very mediocre in TG. It was a bad T2 Sara impression.

After rewatchin' this I must say that the basic plot is REALLY cool and I REALLY like it. Could've been made into one awesome film, but... the script is mixed (great stuff with some trully dumb ****), the direction is meh, actors are blegh and the music is awfully unfit (I like Lorne Balfe, but this was just too bland and wrong for a Terminator).

I think he's right that T2 is the best, but you're right that it's not BY FAR........however, they are 2 totally different types of films. 1 is a scfi thriller made on a lower budget. 2 is a big budget action blockbuster made for mass appeal. If you like thriller/horror movies more then you'll like 1 more. If you like big action summer films then you'll like 2 more.

I like this movie. Maybe it had to do that I saw Spectre first and I established Craig's like an Earth 2 version of Bond.

Seeing this, I saw it more like Earth 2 Terminator, that way it doesn't necessarily taint the original.


I am not a fan of Jai Courtney, but he was decent. I love Emilia and how she is up and coming, but yeah she didn't strike me like Sarah.

Overall, solid film IMO.

I liked it alot- for alot of reasons- but oh well it failed and no more. Next... WAIT? They ARE making another..??

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Just messin' with ya dude.

I thought you were gonna do it back to me in the movie review thread, coz I kinda left a similar post about Re-Crapinator.

Ya know, if they had left out "Bad Boys" and that smile, 2 big steps to making the movie better.

 

[RIDDICK]

I really loved that gag. It was misused in the final scene but intentions were good.

While I like the movie, I have to say, the marketing was some of the worst ever, gave away the biggest spoiler, and I just realized looking back now, they put Skynet's humanoid form in promo shots?

Yeah but nothing about that promo shot says he was a surprise bad guy. Idiotic looking shot yes, but not a spoiler.

 

[RIDDICK]

And the "character", so to speak, was completely pointless plot wise.
Personalization of SKYNET is the dumbest thing of this film's script.

One of the few things about Salvation I really disliked, up unitl T4, Skynet was always an abstract and that made it seem more dangerous, humanizing it was a bad idea.

I just don't like the whole John Connor is now the bad guy thing, reversing the Arnie T-800 becoming the good guy in T2 was smart because Arnie was huge and having him play the villain at that time was just repeating T1. But having John Connor as the bad guy...nah...i'd rather have Sarah Connor becoming the baddie, much better and far more original.

 

[MaulFan]

That would be interesting, what if Sarah went way off the deep end and lost all hope that she could stop the inevitable and turned to trying to make it happen on her terms or something.

 

[RIDDICK]

Nah, that's stupid.
Sarah is the only T-character with indisputable motivation to protect John no matter what.
Making John a bad guy is much more believable because he's a mythic like character.
