One of the main reasons why JP is such a success is because the story of the first one is so good.. with the roots (even if ultimately unrealistic) in the science of de-extinction.

The problem any sequel will have after that film is that they don't need to get muddled up in the science of how or why again and so the only way forward is to improve on the action.  20 years later, I thought the film could of gone back to its roots and expanded it a lot more since technology has massively improved... a missed chance perhaps.  Whilst the action is very impressive, the story and realism are the things to be sacrificed (as usual).

Its still awesome though.. I'd go back and watch it again for sure.

Think that's on my "have to go see" list. Maybe this Friday afternoon.

Not wanting to point out the obvious, but mammoths are mammals, not dinosaurs.

Nope. You're wrong. Dino Saur is Latin for 'Terrible Hefalump'.

You crazy fool :P

Need a degree to work out what the fuck is going on in Terminator: Genisys, the storyline is an absolute mess!

In some ways I hated the film.... a lot...

But it was enjoyable in parts, felt a bit frustrated by it all though.  Actually think it's the worst terminator film of the lot :(

The more I was thinking about Terminator : Genisys last night.. the more I was raging about it...

For me, there are 3 massive unanswered points in the plot that are crucial to the film that are never answered... I don't believe a film can survive if it never bothers answering pivotal plot points in the movie.. and the directors just say.. "oh we know the answers to these" and "they will be answered if we get to do a sequel".. its just bullshit.  On reflection as well, I can think of a ton more plot-holes and paradoxes the utterly ridiculous plot falls into.

What was also bothering me is that it messes with T:1 and T:2.. which kinda sucks.. because now, everytime I watch them two films, I'm going to be reminded of what a travesty T:G was.  I don't think I've felt this angry about a film for a long time!   >:( >:(

The annoying thing from where I'm sat is I know I should swerve the film but I'm still keen to see it.

Absolutely, you've got to go watch the film for yourself.. although if you are a fan of the first and/or second film.. I cant help but feel that you will be thoroughly disappointed.

I wont say anymore.. mainly because its still making my blood boil, but trust me, I could write an essay on what a train-wreck I thought that film was lol.

To be fair, the whole series has been besieged by paradox after paradox; but I've always been a fan. Loved the first two films, and liked the 3rd and 4th. (Couldn't get into the Sarah Connor tv show, though.)

I liked the TV show. Shame they axed it, it was getting very interesting.

It also had Summer Glau in it, which helped.

Where you're concerned, surely that's "because", not "even though".

Just watched Ant-Man,  took a while to get on board with it but ended up thoroughly enjoying it, great ending too.  Refreshing to see a new Marvel IP instead of yet another sequel
