Terminator Genisys full move User Reviews
aMan,
if you care about your childhood favorite movies, every time there's a
new installment there's a great hype about it, but if George Lucas teach
us something from the Phantom Menace, it's that sometimes is better for
fans to leave a franchise rest in peace (even if the producers
disagree). If you still hold a resentment against Lucas for that
"NOOOO!" at the end of "Revenge of the Sith", please, don't watch
Terminator: Genesys. It's a BIG F*** YOU to T1 and T2.
It,
literally,aims to "rebuild the franchise" at it's core, making a move
that only Skynet would dare to do, and that is to "erase" the past: T1
happened in some sort of twist, weird, way, but T2 is forgotten forever.
"Hasta la vista, Baby" never happened (and never will).
In the
movie, each character acts as if they had already watch the whole saga
and said like: "Now, were are doing it our way...". They know like each
fun fact from T1 and T2, in some point, i was really expecting anything:
Marty Mcfly making a cameo? it was a high possibility.
It started as Mad Max: Fury Road, and ended like San Andreas, and not only because they are settled in San Francisco.
There
are some cool actions scenes (and few hardly emotional ones), but
everything is mainly a remake of the best scenes in T1 and T2, so Arnold
can come up with it's iconic one-liners. But, there are two scenes
involving music, that really, REALLY, messed up with the whole
Terminator essence that James Cameron wanted. Example: there's a scene
that looks like a musical (or any STOMP show), and i'm not kidding.
But,
the BIGGEST, the WACKIEST thing they did to the WHOLE TERMINATOR
FRANCHISE is...renaming the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) as: POPS.
Again, i'm not kidding: no more T-800, "It's Pops, kids, it's Pops...".
So, if this is you're first Terminator movie, you'll know from here on
the T-800 as Pops, no as "The Terminator". It really, broke my childhood
into pieces look at what James Cameron did and what this monsters had
done (and refuse to stop).
Why "Pops", Why that silly name? WHYYYY???
The
Terminator saga is like Skynet, it refuses to die...Each new movie is
damaging more our childhood and the saga as a whole. And why? BECAUSE
TERMINATOR WAS SUPPOSED TO END IN T2. Not to continue forever.
Maybe,
as a stand alone film, it can hold up, but, knowing what T1 and T2 are
and achieve (specially if you're a fan), it really is a brand new:
"RIGHT IN THE CHILDHOOD".
Forgive them, James Cameron, the don't know what they are doing..Forgive them
