The recreation of scenes from the original Terminator were Goddamn near flawless. I had just watched the original the night before seeing this, and it was really impressive how it was done.
That being said, Jai Courtney's complete and utter failure to match Michael Biehn's performance as Kyle Reese was glaringly apparent having just watched the original. Biehn is on edge, almost frantic when he demands information from the officer about the date, screaming at the officer "WHAT YEAR!?"
Jai Courtney looked to be almost comatose delivering that line. Casually asking what day it was, and when told, calmly asked what year.
Jai Courtney's Kyle Reese held the film back. He is in no way portraying the character that Michael Biehn brought to life in the original. Had THAT Kyle Reese character been in this film, it would have been spectacular. Courtney comes off as wooden, and completely ****ing generic in almost every single possible way. It was a travesty that he was cast as such an important, iconic character in the franchise.
Loved the CGI 1984 T-800. Looked amazing. Also really dug the "Old. Not Obsolete." line in the film.
I enjoyed the movie a lot more than I thought I would, and it was far more entertaining for me than the abortion that T3 was, and I don't even acknowledge the existence of Salvation it was so ****ing bad.
Terminator
T2: Judgment Day
Terminator: Genisys
