So I glanced the septic tank that is Twitter today to see numerous reactions to the upcoming “blockbuster” ‘Terminator Dark Fate’, the second trailer. The reactions were all positive. I was intrigued. I watched and….
* I couldn’t believe how bad the dialogue and acting was from Linda Hamilton
* The special effects are outclassed by ‘Terminator 2’, released in the early 90s.
*Oh there is Arnold, looking old, bored and just wanting the nice pay cheque. Looks like he’s baking a shit too.
*Why does every “blockbuster” trailer these days have the same booming sounding effect, like a synthesised trumpet or a super mutant turbo elephant farting into a galactic sized test tube.
*And why is that followed with quick fade in/fade out shots of action that ends in this crescendo noise. Is it one guy in a shed and laptop who makes all these trailers for studios on Windows Movie maker?
*Another movie having a dig at men, misandrists still don’t exist in the media’s eyes I guess.
*Why am I not feeling the awesomeness others say it is?
There have always been shite films. I took a date to see Batman and Robin, for God’s sake. I even watched ‘On Deadly Ground’ with Steven Seagal when sober, but has big budget films ever been this monotonously dull and overly glorified? It’s not just this Terminator guff to be fair. I could give many examples.
The creativity is sorely lacking from reboots, to remakes, to sequels, to some special effects that somehow look inferior to effects done decades earlier.
What’s going on? Is the film industry a cunt or am I a bigger cunt than originally thought?
