#I'mNotDavidNorMargaret, Film Reviews My Way 2015

Sometimes a franchise needs a reboot, and then again sometimes it doesn't. The last Terminator film Salvation was beyond woeful, I sat through it thinking why has this been made? The TV series was around the same time cancelled and I remember Sam Worthington being hopeless.

The new film TERMINATOR GENISYS operates around an operating system, like Maverick for Apple products and uses San Fran as it's back drop. To be honest the trailer had me hook, line and sinker in, so check it...



I am slightly nervous with this opening around the massive success of another reboot Jurassic World, this film will struggle to make budget. Apparently two sequels are on the way but this could have been so much more. You have the biggest (still standing) character from GOT takes on the machines with some help from the sizzling Jai Courtney, Arnie and J.K. Simmons. Lee Byung-hun also adds to the hot actor he is one man ageing exceptionally well.

So the film, the special effects and tricks are 10/10 easy and look that is enough for some action movie goers but now after recent X-Men films and other action instalments we (as an audience) want, almost demand more. More storyline, more character depth, this just lacked that.

However the helicopter, car chases and Byung-hun scenes and fight scenes were great. I have seen loads of action films lately and still am hanging for the new Mission Impossible film and I will definitely check out the new Terminator film but this just wasn;t top shelf.

It's a good School Holidays film for the second week of 13 (or mature 12) year olds to check out, but if your after another amazing X-Men or Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol then maybe look elsewhere. I mentioned Jurassic World earlier and to be honest both of these films rely on tricks more than content and can carry these off well, so that said, it's an even pass mark of 2.5 Stars.
