Terminator Genisys
Even though I'm no fan of the current 12A CGI overkill cinematic climate, and while I long for a return to the Tech Noir slasher vibe of the original 1984 film... this was surprisingly watchable.
Low expectations can of course help, but it really is a joy to watch Arnold reprise this role and the film moves briskly along through a succession of inventively staged action set-pieces. Some of the gags fall flat and Jai Courtney awkwardly sticks out as Kyle Reese, but even he's not nearly as terrible as I'd feared he'd be.
Overall, better than
T3 and
Salvation, but still not a patch on Cameron's first two.
Screwiest time travel logic EVER, though.
