Terminator - Genesis
July 2, 2015 at 7:07 am
I just watched it guys...
My opinion as a big Terminator fan.
Bloody shithouse. 5/10 would be generous. The worst of the lot.
Real bad acting (even Emilia Clarke was 2 dimensional and unconvincing)
Absolutely pathetic story line. (You thought the theists were good at word salad!)
Absolutely no emotional connection to any of the characters.
I'm pissed off ... I wanted it to be better, even just for the franchise's sake.

I haven't seen it and have little intention of doing so, but from what I hear this has been a fairly soulless, artificial studio-approved train wreck from beginning to end. I mean shit, they couldn't even properly spellcheck their title...

The trailer made it quite clear that this was going to be a steaming pile.

The very idea of a terminator that has aged made certain that I'd be waiting for the rental. It's a machine for fucks sake.
Despite what a travesty "Terminator Salvation" was, I was intrigued by the idea of telling the story of the rebellion. Going back to the same old shit of terminator(s) chasing/trying to kill/trying to save John Connor is just a letdown. C'mon Hollywood, we've seen it three fucking times already.

It's what? The 4th time they've made the same movie? Sooner or later they are going to run out of ideas.
I thought they reached that point about halfway through the first one.
But it did give us this parody.

5th, Min.
The 5th movie and people still expected it to be good. The PG-13 rating should have been a dead giveaway that this was going to be a half-assed cash-grab.
