While I wasn’t a fan of the character posters for Thor: Dark World director Alan Taylor’s Terminator Genisys, I do really like the latest one-sheet for the reboot in theaters July 1st.
It’s a flashy, staged look at the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke). I like that it looks like something I would hang on my wall if I were a huge fan of the film – it has everything from a battle-damaged T-800 to Sarah Connor holding a Terminator skull. For whatever reason it works better than these character posters.
“When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline. Now, Sgt. Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future…”
The Terminator Genisys screenplay is by Laeta Kalorgridis (Avatar) & Patrick Lussier (Drive Angry). The film also stars J. K. Simmons, Dayo Okeniyi, Matt Smith, Courtney B. Vance and Byung-Hun Lee.
