This terrible movie has made me appreciate the original even more. Whereas the original is well-directed, has a tense, clever script, and a well-chosen, enjoyable cast - Genisys is poorly directed, feels far from tense and exciting, has a weak script with atrocious dialogue, and the actors - apart from Arnie - are either weak or miscast.
The dialogue shocked me with how poor it was, to the point where I had to laugh at how laughably bad it can be. Jai Courtney was absolutely horrific playing Kyle Reese. Like some meathead wrestler with no acting talent - it was sickening to see after the original actor(Michael Biehn)was so convincing with his brilliant performance. Jason Clarke looked creepy as John Connor, which made the character very off-putting. Then you have the tragically comical casting of Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor. Her baby face and short stature, made her look ridiculous playing a character who was originally played by Linda Hamilton, who is above average height and actually had a toughness about her. Emilia playing such an iconic, tough female character, has to be one of the worst casting decisions ever.
So, with a weak, annoying script, a miscast bunch of uninspiring actors, and just an overall air of cheapness, this is, by far, the worst film in the franchise. I wish someone had terminated the script before it was made into this pile of junk.
