Terminator Genisys does not compute
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 03/07/2015
» Hollywood's lusty obsession with reboots, retools, reloads, recasts and regeneration falls with a loud thud in Terminator Genisys, a clunky, messy, analogue-minded science fiction thriller that's hardly scientific or thrilling. If this is what the post-millennia Gen-Z audience have in terms of pop-cultural marquee, those above 35 can revel in the nostalgic romp of James Cameron's 1984 original, a far more intelligent and terrifying film about our fear of technology, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his star-making role, elevating robotic poker-face into a kind of acting scholarship.
