Movie Review (Terminator Genisys)

Published

on

He said he’d be back and dammit if he didn’t mean it. Because once again Mr. Schwarzenegger is back to stop Skynet! With the last few movies in the series being total turdfests can the Governator capture the magic of the past while saving the future ?

With the Salvation technically just looping back to the start of the first Terminator when Kyle Reese is sent back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor, so begins Genisys. Kyle Reese is sent back to 1984 and meets Sarah and an old version of the T-100 (who Sarah affectionately calls Pops). They travel in to the future to stop Skynet from ever going online, but run in to Jon Connor. Now, the question is what does his prescence mean for them and their mission ?

Honestly, this film is a pretty straightforward action movie with a little bit of sci-fi thrown in. The story is a damn mess of a work of science fiction. With time traveling it has become all sorts of confusing. Most of the sci-fi elements are from previous entries so the action is emphasized far more. It even has more humor than the series has been known for in previous entries. It feels more like a typical Arnold action set piece film than anything else most of the time. Now, don’t get me wrong it’s a pretty good action film but don’t come looking for a science fiction masterwork is all I’m saying. Arnold of course handles his duties as the Terminator who inexplicably has patriarchal feelings for Sarah Connor very well. He is getting too old for this sh!t (shout out Danny GLover) but there seems to be some pneumatic pressure still left in the old exoskeleton. The fight scenes are geared to his fading physical capabilities but they’re pretty damn brutal still. Jai Courtney is kind of just there as Kyle Reese and doesn’t get in the way or stand out to me. Jason Clarke as John Connor is rightly charismatic and menacing in a performance that’s well done. Emilia Clarke I didn’t even recognize without her blonde wig on. She’s capable in her role as a slightly less badass Sarah Connor than the version from T2. She’s a very slight and tiny woman who looks a little under aged to be honest. That’s not her fault but that does the role she plays no favors. The CGI and battle scenes are top notch and are a joy to see. You’ll ooohhh and aaahhh as the flashy lights flicker across the screen.

This is the best Terminator film since the second. The CGI is on point and the explosion and carnage machine at the movie studio seemed to be working over time as crap gets blown up beautifully. Some of the characters either don’t look the part or don’t make an impression but, old (really old) reliable Arnie anchors it all well. You will have fun with this movie.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
