Terminator Genisys (2015) - It Shouldn't Have Been!

★☆☆☆☆

The thing is, there really shouldn’t have been any more Terminator films after T1 and T2, which are like James Cameron’s babies that can’t possibly be reborn, reboot, or remade successful again! T3 and T4 are redundant and preposterous! So is ‘Terminator Genisys’, aka T5. It tries to refresh the characters by changing what already happens in T1 and T2, but in vain. They’re all cast wrong and paper-thin. It mixes up more than one timelines to allow things to go any way it wants without contradictions, but what makes sense or not is none of my concern anymore, coz the whole film’s truly an embarrassing joke rather than a serious plus a bit melancholy piece of sci-fi action cinema, like the classic T2.

T5 jumps back and forth in time to want to change what already happens, just like our undisciplined mind constantly does indeed. Is the past totally irrelevant? No, it is not, but the so called past is nothing but made-up memories of our emotions. To a disciplined, focused mind, there’s no past or present or future. Actually there’s no such a thing as time. I’ve never been able to reach such a mind! So I have no idea how it feels to be in such a state, but I believe that regretting how much time we’ve already spent and worrying how much we’ll still have is the reason why we’re always chained up!
