Latest sequel goes big and goes all over time.
By Brandon Wolfe
It’s been confirmed that IMAX Corporation, Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions will be digitally remastering this summer’s Terminator Genisys into the IMAX 3D format and releasing the film into IMAX theaters worldwide on July 1st. It will be the first film in the Terminator franchise to appear on IMAX screens.
The film, the fifth in the franchise, is directed by Alan Taylor and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, J. K. Simmons and (ugh) Jai Courtney.
Also, our good friends at The Arnold Fans have posted a pair of script reviews for the film, both positive.
SPOILERS BELOW
The first review gives the indication that Genisys (which is still spelled that way) will be jumping all over the place, Back to the Future Part II-style, starting out during the future war that we’ve only glimpsed in prior films before zipping back to the 1984 timeframe of the original film and ultimately winding up in an as-yet-unrevealed third time period, which will be the setting of the film’s major climax.
The second review forwards the opinion that the film feels more in step with the first two films in the series, rather than with the much more coolly received third and fourth films, and also indicates that there will be numerous villains throughout.
