Awix (3310 KP) rated Terminator Genisys (2015) in Movies

Mar 15, 2018

Auction-prize Terminator movie appears to have been made by dyslexics, but that's the least of its worries. A film of two unequal halves: opening section, in which the events of the 1984 movie are cheerfully revisited and rewritten, has a sort of demented energy which makes it rather watchable. The rest of it, in which the action inexplicably shifts to a near future where the nascent Skynet is some kind of app or Windows update, is essentially incoherent cobblers.

Film is not just incoherent, but openly and knowingly incoherent, with elements of backstory and actual plot left unexplained, presumably to be revisited in a future sequel. Action and acting is okay; makes relatively little use of Arnie, all things considered. Hits all the right buttons to keep fans of the series from rising up in a violent revolt (though it's possibly a near thing); it will probably simply bore, confuse, or repel anyone unfamiliar with the earlier movies.

Huh. I guess I expected to like this more but unfortunately I didn't connect with the story or the characters. I'll admit to getting a little emotional near the end when there was the "splitting up" part but I wasn't in floods of tears.

This is my second book by the author and I preferred the other book so I may go back to that series at some point in the future.

This book was absolutely amazing! The story was so real and at times, very heart-wrenching. I'm so glad I got a pre-release book so that I was able to read this now rather than later. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, especially those in need of a good read. Also, I will be trying out the brotchen recipe today, if not in the very near future, as the book made it sound so wonderful.
