Terminator: Genisys

Hello Everyone,

Spoiler Alert!!!!!

     Now like the last review I am going to take you back in time but not all the way back to the 60's. This time I am going to take you back to 1984 when the term terminator came to be. A time where watching robot and humans fighting and trying to kill each other was considered cool. Where people of all ages came to know what exactly is judgement day. Now I take you back to the 80's where The Terminator franchise began with this review with the newest film of the franchise with Terminator: Genisys.

     An interesting story is last Sunday night when I got home from work my Dad told me that him and my brother went to see this movie that day. He told me he liked it and also told me that I would like it because of a certain actor was in it that I enjoy watching. But he wouldn't tell me who but he told my Mom. Now at this point with the Internet these days I was tempted to look up who that actor could be; but, I was good and didn't. So since I was off from work on Tuesday I made time to see it and that's exactly what I did. And as soon as I saw the actor I knew that was who my Dad was talking about and I was excited and it made the movie much more enjoyable. And in case your curious the actor that was in the film that I love was Matt Smith better known as the eleventh doctor from Doctor Who. Who knew my Dad was right! LOL! Just kidding I love my Dad he knows me so well.

     First thing first is that if you have not seen the first two Terminator movies in a while then it might be helpful for you to go back and rewatch them or at least read the synopsis of them. Just to refresh yourselves of the T800 and T100 model terminators. Although it not necessary, it just might be helpful for you to understand the plot of this new one. If you don't that's okay, you will be able to understand the plot just fine.

     If you read the reviews and actually pay attention to the critics then you already know that the film is getting mixed reviews. But for me I did not think that it was bad at all. Here is the thing about any of the Terminator movies, you cannot take them seriously. I mean think about it they are about robots and humans trying to kill each other and also about time travel. You can't take that too seriously they are not meant to be taken that way. They are meant for you to watch them and have fun doing so. So yeah I quite enjoyed the entire film, I thought it was funny, had plenty of action and had talented actors in it. 

     Speaking on the acting I thought this was one of the best performances done by Arnold Schwarzenegger in a while. This film and his acting made me realize just how good of an actor he is. He took me back to the first and second terminator when he was the good robot in the second but also the bad ass killer in the first. By now you all should know how I feel about Matt Smith I just love him. But after watching him in Doctor Who and seeing him play the good guy, it was a nice change to watch him play the villain for once and he was remarkable as always. Lastly another actor I really like that was also in this movie was J.K. Simmons. I think his character was really funny especially when he was trying to figure out what was going on from the main characters. And the ending was great because it was the first time and spoiler alert here that John Connor died and Kyle Reese lived. Sorry about the spoilers for those of who whom haven't seen it let. 

     And on that note to avoid giving away any more spoilers I shall end this review here. All I asked of you is see the movie first before you judge it. It might come to a surprise to you that you will really enjoy it like I did. I hope you go see it and I hope you will find it entertaining.
