Terminator Genisys 6.5

Felt like one last throw of the dice for the franchise to rake in some cash on the back of the previous series.

It should join the list of 'finals' that should never have been made alongside the last Indiana Jones.

If you played Atari 2600 you will enjoy.
Dumb fun, but fun none the less.

Ignore the reviews and decide for yourself. Entertaining from start to finish.

+1, the negative reviews surprised me, always been a fan of Brad Bird and I found this no different.

Terminator Genisys 8 ( 7 but plus 1 for trolling me at the start)
Enjoyed the movie start to finish. I read no reviews or watch any trailers so at the start of the movie I thought they made a strait remark.

Pixels (2015) - 5/10
Switch your brain off and just enjoy.. ignore the strange casting choices and cheesy dialogue.

Tomorrowland (2015) - 8/10
Really enjoyed this. Particularly enjoyed the fantasy/scifi adventure feel. Important message conveyed, without being overly preachy.

Cloud Atlas (2012) 7/10

One of the longest movies I've recently watched; just under 3hrs.Had to watch it in two parts lol.

"An exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution."

Initially very confusion & all over the place but once done it's actually really good & shines through in each of the 6 stories.

Selling point of this movie is its depth.

You should try reading David Mitchell's book then. If you're not completely focused, it'll spit you out before the first chapter ends.
I loved this movie and that's saying something 'cos I'm no Hanks or Berry fan. Also, when you consider that the same actors pop up in the different arcs, just made up completely differently, it's quite a thing... Hugo Weaving as Nurse Noakes and Hugh Grant as the Kona Chief... Wow.

Some of those characters I didn't even recognize the actor until the credits of the movie!
