Terminator Genisys (2015)

A Mega Shark vs Giant Octopuss standard Terminator movie

[2/10 · 9 August 2015]

Do you watch a lot of Scyfi channel stuff? Do you enjoy movies like Mega Shark vs Giant Octopuss and Giant Piranha vs Giant squid? Do you like poor scripting, unrealistic dialogue and shopping channel standard acting? If so you're in luck because Terminator Genisys has all this and more! I'm a huge Terminator fan so if you're wondering that's not the reason for my veiled animosity for this film. This is literally how NOT to make a good movie. It is pretty much doomed witting the first ten minutes when you realise they had a disaster with the casting. Jai Courtney is bad, he cannot act simply put. He may be able to cut it as an extra in CSI but how he landed this role is beyond me. I love Emelia Clarke in Game of Thrones but she was just awful here. The terrible script didn't help but she looked awkward and uncomfortable with her lines most of the time. The film's one saving grace? Arnie of course. He is the only thing that prevented me from turning it off half way through as it just got downright boring. So there you have it, disappointing, boring, offensive to the fans and will never deserve a place next to your other Terninator DVDs in any sort of collection.
