Terminator Genisys was a pretty good movie. Spoiler review.

SO yeah, I been a pretty big Terminator fan in general. I just like that whole time travel, war against the machines type of thing. It's my niche I guess you could say. Anyway, the movie in my opinion did a lot of things right.

1. We finally see the future war, and not a few second flash back, but the real deal and how the final days of victory was like. John Connor, was a bad arse and yet his knowledge came second hand from his mother Sarah. He made it happened but like he said, he had a cheat.

2. They choose a pretty good John Connor, at moments he seem like a cool down to earth guy but at others, he was the leader of the human resistance. For those that watch the franchise, the fact that any of the people in that room would die for him was done very well.

Then there was a nod to Terminator 1 Epilogue with Sarah where she asked what must have went through John's mind when he sent his father back. And in that beginning scene, you see his reluctance to do it yet, he knew it had to be done.

It was very nice.

3.There was very nice touch back to all four terminator film. You got the 1984 timeline, which was a call back to T1. The T-1000, police car chase scene and what not. T2. The campy Arnold and lame jokes T3. Kyle mention that people called John "The Prophet" in the intro, T4.

Overall the movie work, nice story, nice pacing, and it kind of make you figure things out. Convoluted? Not really for Sci Fi fans, for the average movie goers who want to see a Robot chasing a girl, probably. For those that like a Meta-angle story, this film was great with that.

I would watch it again with another group of friends for sure.

However, there are some nip picks. They gave away what could have been an awesome moment with John being the new Terminator. That could have been a huge reveal but nope they spoiled it.

Then there also the fact that nobody know who sent Arnold T-800 back. I am kind of rolling my eyes now, if the PC police got a hold of the Terminator franchise.

My Theory on why no one know who sent the T-800 back to help Sarah and why the T800 got it's memory erase. Is that another war is going on. Now in this movie you literally kill John Connor. Kyle also lived passed his 48 hour time window. Who's to say the child that is born to Kyle and Sarah after this movie will be John, what if it's a Jane?


It would be like Hollywood to be that P.C.

Then there the obvious thing with Arnold being a T-1000 upgrade that would let them change the Terminator actor later on to male or female.

Finally, Sarah worked well than she got all dewy eyed for Kyle? Kinda fast IMO.

Other than that, good movie!
