ARNI is BACK/ATTACK


Lustre of the Terminator. It Shines through and through.

The Dark is back with the shine of this latest production of Terminator with ‘Arnie’ and his friends and foes. The machines are many, but very different to one another.

None other than the fighting scenes of superb quality and quantity to top off and start off and end off this amazing movie -with the machines fighting the dark side.

The feel is one of Star Wars and lunar beauty mainly -in terms of setting. From flying fights on seemingly moving ships to chipping pieces of machines. Not on the moon perhaps but close to it for definite.

The colours range from black to grey to sun to ‘moon-ish’.  They include reds and yellows and a few orange hits of the brushes of paint-like settings.

The matter at hand in the story line above, and before this film in the previous ones too, as with good and evil always, is sorted through and through -at the end of the film- with the gorgeous machines robotically winning the day against the ‘dark matter’. This does seem likely from the start, although the ‘Matter’ regenerates over and over again, as the dark fluids reconstruct once hit or are bitten (once or twice) throughout the fight scenes between our dashing hero his friends and foes.

Dialogue between the characters is supportive of the amazing content of the moving pictures, in this production of Darks and Lights, Shadows and Whites.      

The action takes us from waters to fires to the winds of change and to ‘earth-ly’ chats.

All of the elements are elementally in this movie -including the ephemeral yet strong presence of the subtle and modest actors and actresses. Their reputation/s precedes them and therefore introductions are mute.

Sounds on as we ‘swim’ and ‘sway’ and lose ourselves ‘drowning’ inside the well-tuned verses of this extraordinary musical score of rock and ‘diabolique’ rolling.
