My main concern with the Genisys movie, wasn't the plot or twist but the casting of Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor both were not able to stay faithful to the original or create their own magic within their role. Those actors just weren't suited to the role in any way shape or form. The latest movie, haha what a bad joke. The Rev 9 couldn't even take out the T-800 and was dominated by it in most scenes. Some of the action fight scenes were decent but I've never ever seen a villian terminator get beaten up so much over and over again and even at one stage Dani had ago at the bouncing clown. It never felt at any stage the Rev 9 was a threat especially from when Sarah entered the scene and it was well and truly game over once the T-800 was on board. When a terminator villian doesn't even incite that 1% dread of hopelessness then it's an automatic Fail with a big F.
The Genisys redesign, my main dislike is the head, looks too round and short, teeth oversized giving it a comical and less threatening look, the jawline seems a lot smaller. Something is missing with the red eyes, looks too beady, I think they stick out too much, should be deeper in the sockets. Body redesign is decent, all the piston and armor changes around the arms, legs and torso is a nice touch, but the head absolutely kills it for me as it no longer looks scary and feels toy like.
This statue is going to be an absolute killer as it recaptures the genisys endo to almost perfection. I can't wait to see pics from collectors, the level of detail on this one is out of this world. Custom chrome plated will ensure longevity. Theres only 99 of them, worth significantly more than 10k in today's market. As good as the P1 half scale endo is, this is on a league of it's own and next level stuff. I wonder how heavy this statue is going to be as it looks very heavy compared to genisys V1.
I like Genisys, I think it's an entertaining movie that doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Now I would add a caveat to that opinion in that I would put T1 & T2 in a class of their own, both in terms of movie quality and endo design (The original is still the best by a mile) But Genisys is easily the best of the rest by far imo. The latest one was especially hideous by comparison in every aspect.
