MYST Post #5

Terminator Genisys

               
Spoiler alert!  This movie sucks!  Sorry for being so blunt but the movie was the definition of what a cliché is.  It seemed like every single piece of dialogue was put in there to try and create a famous line like the "I'll be back" that the terminator monotonously said.  The movie takes on a whole different approach than all the previous Terminator movies.  It's basically a love story between John Carter's parents, or at least that's what it seemed like the majority of the movie was.  I don't know what was more horrid the acting or the dialogue.  It’s possible that I could have started to "toon out" early on but I don't even know what the premise of the movie was.  What was the bad guy’s goal?  And unlike how the Terminator was the main role in the past four movies he was merely a comic supporting actor.  Comical.  The Terminator...  Comical!  It’s the complete opposite of what his personality should be.  When the director, Alan Taylor, thought about who the terminator would be in this film, or what his persona would be why would he want him to be the laughing matter in, what should be, a serious action movie.

I know I have been giving this movie a pretty bad rep, but there were one or two good aspects of the movie.  For one, I thought that the camera angles were correctly shot because the terminator was almost always shown as a close up to display his monotonous and sometimes comical gestures.  When looking at the movie from the perspective of cinematography (minus the screenplay) it was actually a very well shot movie.  And the music that was implemented into the overly dramatic scene fit well, even though the scenes sadly sucked…
