Terminator: Genisys product reviews

When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance against Skynet, sends Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect his mother, Sarah (Emilia Clarke), from a Terminator assassin, an unexpected turn of events creates an altered timeline. Instead of a scared waitress, Sarah is a skilled fighter and has a Terminator guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger) by her side. Faced with unlikely allies and dangerous new enemies, Reese sets out on an unexpected new mission: reset the future.

This film has been described as the true 3rd installment in the Terminator franchise. Taking place before 'Rise of the Machines' and 'Salvation' the film can ignore the consequences of these films, and place focus on the parts that made it great.

And it certainly does focus on the original classics. My recommendation, is to definitely see this film AFTER rewatching the first terminator film. There are so many easter eggs in the film that reference its predecessors, and it was amazing to watch. The CGI is actually improving to the point that you can barely tell that there is a completely CGI Arnie in the film.

Despite looking younger, the actresses playing Sarah Connor have some remarkably similar facial features, and having two main characters with the same last name in real-life, playing mother and son in the film, is just another example of how well thought out this film is; whether intentional or accidental, I love it. Not so much the constantly changing appearance of John Connor between the films, but I guess they've never found the right fit.

The film itself pretty much goes from action-packed scene to action-packed scene, never really slowing down. Arnie seems to be in a perpetual game of catch up, as the main characters go boosting ahead, and he is left waddling along at his slow, methodical, trademarked walking rate. But it provides with pleanty of opportunity for terminators to come busting in and showing up in a variety of situations, which certainly keeps the interest.

I watched this film in 3D, and if I have to be honest, it added very little to the experience. But it didn't need to. Within the first 15 minutes I knew that this film would be a success. The idea to make the antagonist the character that has been the protagonist in the past, but that past is in the future opened up so many doors. You didn't need to write in random ways of the enemy finding you, or revealing the plan. Suddenly, the unknown future actions are what is creating the most dire consequences. It's brilliant. Hard to follow sometimes, but brilliant.

Terminator is Arnie. Arnie is Terminator. He is the robot that gives you all the feels, and is a great source of emotion and humour. As long as Arnie is cast in a Terminator film, I will continue to watch them.

Product reviews for listing 5749: Pirates of the Airwaves -  Topic: Radio

Product image for Pirates of the AirwavesAuckland Viaduct, October 1966: a group of determined young men defy the police and government and, to the cheering of their fans, launch a coastal ship that has been converted to a pirate radio station which they intend to use to broadcast from the Hauraki Gulf.

It is the birth of commercial radio in New Zealand. Crazy as it seems, this is what it took to break the stronghold the Broadcasting Corporation had on national broadcasting ... more...
