I'm an Arnold fan. I'm a Terminator fan. The original is a cult classic. The second Terminator film is one of the greatest action films ever made. T3 had it's moments. And "Terminator: Salvation" was OK. But with the 5th installment of the franchise (and the return of Arnold) the series once again is back on track. "Terminator: Genisys" is an entertaining, action packed sci-fi flick that should please moviegoers this summer.
The filmmakers took the love story from the first film, as well as the bond between machine and human from the second, and injected them into "Genisys". It feels like a spiritual and worthy sequel to the Cameron films...which is an impressive feat in and of itself. The 5th films has heart, emotion, and compassion (something the 3rd film lacked immensely).
Arnold is truly back with this film. Having seen all his movies on the big screen since his un-retirement, "Terminator: Genisys" is easily his best since his return (with "Escape Plan" being awesome as well). Arnold looks great and turns in another classic Terminator performance. Say what you will about the man's range and acting but he's a movie star and turns it on for T5.
Emilia Clarke is smoking hot and plays a solid Sarah Conner. She's almost stole the show from Arnie. Jai Courtney is average as usual and Matt Smith is wasted in a small but pivotal role.
The special effects are pretty awesome as well. The action is big. The film felt like a non-stop action fest. It's a great summer popcorn flick that delivers what fans of the series want as well as catering to a new generation of moviegoers.
The final word on "Terminator: Genisys"...it's a damn fine action movie that has the heart from T2 and the love story that made the original a harrowing classic. Check out this summer and hope Arnie can come back for one more go round as the T-800.
