Here is the intensely unnecessary back-to-the-beginning-with-a-twist Terminator movie: it's as if it has gone back in time to murder our memories of the ancestral first film and crush the series' reputation. As well as many other fantastically irritating things, they have rebooted the spelling of "genesis". The old spelling of "genesis" is an orthographic franchise which has been reinvigorated. They've reimagined it. They've upgraded it. It's left me in a state of paralisys. It's crushing every brain synapsys. This is a personal crisys and I may need analisys, and the basys of all this is that Terminator Genisys is the antithisys of enjoyable.
Like JJ Abrams's Star Trek, it uses the concept of time travel to rewrite how the story starts - but with none of the freshness and wit. It is shackled to its muddled and laborious plot variants and dialogue quotes from the original, and also to a concept that I think was always sentimental and wrong-headed: the idea of Arnie's Terminator turning into a good guy, and now aged into a cutesy-grumpy old retainer.
