Movie Reviews :
Let me start by saying this film does not deserve the universal panning it is receiving by critics. There still seems to be a bunch of people out there who like to whine and complain about how nothing will ever top T1 and T2 that they probably hated this film before they even watched it. In my honest opinion...this will was great. It introduced a fresh take on the series, it had emotional depth and the characters were well cast. Emilia Clarke proved her acting chops as Sarah Connor and was able to show her action heroine side whilst also showing the sensitive side we see quite often in GoT. Jason Clarke and Jai Courtney played John Connor and Kyle Reese brilliantly with each stepping easily into the role and exploring sides of the character we have never seen before. Arnie as always was brilliant, he has stepped back into this role as if it were only yesterday and with doors open that allow him to explore sides to the T-800 we've never seen before. He creates a number of humorous moments that you can't help but smile at and his relationship with Emilia Clarke in the film is excellent. The CGI in this film is also outstanding, it's great to see just how realistic the terminator world looks in 2015 (especially seeing how cgi has made the T- 1000 even more bad-ass)! The story is excellent and not much can be given away without spoilers but it is safe to say that 1984 is very very different from the first film and Sarah Connor is not who we expect her to be. The only downfall for me was that the time travel and alternate timelines can become quite confusing but thankfully it starts to become much clearer towards the end! Overall, without having to spoil the film, this is a must see for any terminator fan...with nods to the original film and mind blowing changes I had goosebumps at a great deal of moments. Ignore the reviews and go see this film...lets just hope this franchise isn't terminated anytime soon!
