Terminator Genisys

Terminator Genisys

Rating 7.5 out of 10

I am a big fan of the first two Terminator movies.  T2 would probably make my top ten of all time with T1 close behind.  T-G is no 1 or 2, yet I still found it entertaining.

T-G kinda throws all the other Terminator movies into the blender on smoothie then pours it into a nice sometimes complicated cup for your enjoyment.  This is still a bit of a reboot with new actors playing Sarah Conner, John Conner and Kyle Reese.  Arnie is back as as the main Terminator and does a fine job sometimes as the old Terminator and sometimes the young Terminator.

I'm not going to try very hard to explain the plot.  Partly because it would have spoilers and partly because I'm not completely sure I understand it.  Doesn't matter.  The movie starts with young Kyle Reese meeting John Conner and eventually becoming his number one man.  They do a good job of explaining how the machines ultimately take over.  Reese jumps in the time machine and follows the Terminator back to save Sarah Conner.  Only this time when he gets there things have changed a bit.

The goal is still to stop the evil Sky-Net and their computers.  The action is incredible.  The special effects are very good.  It's cool to see young and old Arnie fight.  There is time travel and things that go boom.

If you liked the other Terminator movies you will likely enjoy this one.  Not as much but you will feel you got your monies worth.
