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.
