Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Excellent, smart action film.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Terminator Genisys (2015) ReviewIt gets off to a promising start with an entertaining future war battle and a confrontation between a liquid metal terminator. There is also a fun fight where Arnold fights his younger self. However by the time the second act kicks in the film becomes convoluted and starts to fall apart becoming a parody of itself. They re-filmed some of the stuff from the 1984 film like the shooting locations which look spot on and a really convincing CG recreation of a young Arnold. But the punks who get their clothes stolen look nothing like the ones from the first film. Put those two scenes side by side and you can tell instantly from their clothing and hairstyles that they look nothing alike, they just look like bad cosplayers. Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese was a poor casting choice as he bares little resemblance to the previous actor who played him and his acting is also very wooden. Emilia Clarke is great as Sarah Connor and she does look like Linda Hamilton from the 80's but towards the end she just becomes a little bit annoying. Arnold Schwarzenegger looks to be enjoying himself here but being in his late sixties he really needs to consider quitting. Yes they explain that cyborg skin ages like humans (which is a stretch even for these films) but it's just an excuse to keep him in the role for years to come. "Old, not obsolete" is his new catchphrase. The villain is quite interesting as its non other than John Connor merged with a cyborg (thank the trailers for ruining that twist). His abilities look visually stunning but he's wasted as he doesn't show up until the third act. There are too many plot threads going on throughout and the film loses it focus. There is some fun to be had and the action sequences are enjoyable but they don't really serve a purpose, they are just there for the sake of it. They tried to do something different with it but it just isn't enough for it to work as a Terminator film. Clearly a victim of studio meddling, it's just another needless sequel to the franchise which has run its course. They are currently shooting a reboot which ignores the events of the last three movies. Third times the charm. Let's hope they don't mess this one up.

This movie isn't a 7, but it's better that T3 and T salvation. Arnold brought this movie back. T2 is awesome cause of Sarah Connor. This weakness of this movie is not the real Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese. They were the let down.

Arnie is back again in a Terminator movie, and while all the special effects and explosions are back in all their twisted glory - the story just makes no sense whatsoever.It's really not even comprehensible. I mean, I tried and all. However the story writers decided to seriously complicate the plot from a "Back to the Future" understanding of time travel and fast forward it all the way to a "Primer" levels of time travel. The end result is an incomprehensible mess of a story.If the plot is just so utterly jumbled - that even IF I were to sit down and motivated to even try to understand it - it really doesn't matter. The end result is a story we don't understand. A story we don't care about. A story about people we don't understand and couldn't care less about - because we have no idea who what or why anything is even happening. It's as if the movie wants to say "Things are going to blow up! Just accept it!".Terminator Genisys is a pure example about how movies can ultimately say nothing about the human condition and for all the special effects effectively mean zilch - and be all the worse for it. There was some subtle theme about being too trusting of technology with all our connected devices in there but it was so limp-wristed, so pathetically tacked on, and half-hearted that it deserves to be ignored.But by golly, by jingo, by jimminy willers, there were a lot of explosions!
