Monday night, I attended a screening of Terminator Genisys. I’ve seen all the other movies in the Terminator series, and I knew that if they undertook this film, they’d have to go above and beyond. I was aware that Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the film and that made me worry. I really wondered, “how do they plan to tie in the much older Schwarzenegger into a futuristic story line?” I didn’t want it to be corny and I didn’t want to see the same story line play over and over again. I wanted something new, after all, I grew up on Terminator (telling my age).
When we walked into the theater we received our 3D glasses and it began. From the very start of the film, you are instantly pulled into a new version of the same story line with a twist that continues to unfold throughout the entire film. The action is dead on and not over-bearing. Surprisingly, Arnold Schwarzenegger was great in this movie!! didn’t know how they’d make it work but they absolutely did! Utilizing both past and present Arnold was super cool!! Everyone in the theater seemed to be glued to the screen, it was pretty quiet as we followed the story along to the end. It truly was a treat for those like myself who grew up to Terminator and quoted “I’ll Be Back” over and over again to our friends as well as to newcomers to the Terminator series.
The film opens in theaters today and I encourage you to enjoy this film with your family during the holiday weekend. It’s the perfect family fun film to follow or proceed any backyard barbecue. Check out the trailer below and be sure to let me know how much you enjoyed it.
Comment below. Will you be seeing Terminator Genisys this weekend?
