Review of Terminator Genisys (2015) by Rebecca31 — 08 Nov 2015

Ranting levels critical, you’ve been warned: So today I went to see the 5th installment in what was once an amazing franchise, who’d have thought that they could sink any lower than Terminator 4, but they can in this spectacular fail of a movie. At no point did anyone expect this to be any good, the trailer saw to that but I don’t think anyone could predict how bad it truly is. There are no adequate words but I’m gonna go for it anyway. So Arnie is back (in his many forms) to do what he does best, except this time he’s called Pops, now if this wasn’t a warning bell it pretty much explains why the rest of the movie was so terrible. Not only is this film horrifying on its own but it has to take Terminator 2 and in particular Terminator 1 and drag it through the dirt. It can’t even establish itself as anything new, taking great scenes from the classics and rehashing them hoping the fans will be too caught up in the moment to notice. It singlehandedly destroys the first two Terminator movies and leaves us with this horrendously traumatizing and soul crushing sorry excuse for a movie.

What’s that Arnie? You’ll be back, somehow I don’t think so. You know what I hope the machines do rise up and kill all humans cause if this is the standard for films in the future then I don’t want to be a part of it. Not recommended, I repeat, this film is not recommended for viewing as to do so is not only dangerously infuriating but can also put viewers at risk of potentially giving into the urge to gouge one’s own eyes out. Rant over.
