Poetic Film Review: Terminator Genisys (2015)

In Hollywood's realm, where dreams are made,
A frustrating trend has been displayed,
Remakes and reboots, a senseless spree,
Exploiting classics, for profit to be.

The Terminator, a iconic tale,
A sci-fi masterpiece, that did prevail,
But sequels and reboots, a downward slide,
Failed to surpass, the original's pride.

Terminator 2, a commercial success,
CGI effects, that did impress,
But still, it fell short, of the first,
A simple story, with characters that burst.

The franchise continued, with gimmicks galore,
A female terminator, a post-apocalyptic score,
But each new film, a disappointment to share,
A lack of talent, and charisma to spare.

Genisys, a soft reboot, a attempt to revive,
But nostalgia, was all that did thrive,
Action scenes, with CGI so fine,
But violence, and gunfire, no longer divine.

Schwarzenegger, a legend, still shines so bright,
But his co-stars, a lackluster sight,
Jason Clarke, and Jai Courtney, a disappointment to see,
Emilia Clarke, unconvincing, a charisma-free spree.

The planned trilogy, did not come to be,
Dark Fate, a new attempt, but still a disaster to see,
The Terminator, a franchise, that did stray,
From its original path, and lost its way.

Oh, Hollywood, why do you insist,
On remaking classics, and ignoring the mist,
Of creativity, and original thought,
And instead, rely on nostalgia, and special effects brought?

The fans, they deserve, a better fate,
A new and original story, that does create,
A sense of wonder, and awe, and thrill,
Not just a rehash, of a classic, that does stand still.
