This last fact is handy, because by most measures, Terminator Genisys is a bad film. I’d rather watch a bad Terminator film than a good police procedural. So order me up some more Predator, Aliens and yes, Terminator. I love science fiction and I love big loud summer movies and I love Ahnold. I love the franchise, yes, but more than that I love the style, the genre. There’s a weariness to the whole affair, a “why is this here” feeling surrounding the film in general. It would be accurate to characterize my emotional response to the news of a new Terminator film as malaise. “Yeah, I know how time travel works.” Umm, not sure you do… I honestly have almost no memory of the film at all. Absolutely the only people who were eager for another Terminator film, much less one without Ahnold were the rights holders. And if that’s so, Terminator Salvation redefines unwanted. It’s not a bad film for all that, but it really is extraneous. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines was the first picture that no one particularly asked for and the first that really felt tacked on. Terminator 2: Judgment Day was so good that many people prefer it to the original. It probably didn’t need another film, but everyone was excited to see one. The Terminator was a near perfect science fiction picture. The Terminator franchise as a whole has had this problem twice before already. Terminator Genisys is frankly not needed no one was asking for more pictures, but they keep making them.

Why hold onto someone you must let go?” Ahnold, when you say it, irony doesn’t even begin to cover it… I already used some 2,000 words to describe the mixed bag that was Jurassic World, so that will save some time Terminator Genisys is nearly the exact same experience. That may sound over-simplistic, so of course I can’t leave it at just that, but really the two pictures have nearly all of the same strengths and weaknesses.
