10 Problems Terminator Genisys Sequel Must Address

10. Bring Back The Minimalist Score

Of all the composers working in the film industry today, Hans Zimmer has influenced the tone of blockbuster movie scores the most. His percussive style coupled with the loud horn stabs first used in Inception are familiar from countless movies (not to mention trailers).

That Terminator Genisys' composer Lorne Balfe is an associate of Zimmer, working for his company Remote Control Productions, is clear just a short while into the movie - it's a swelling orchestral score in a style we're all familiar with. However, moments when familiar motifs from the original two movies pop up remind us just how great Brad Fiedel's original music was - pounding and insistently building up an ominous feeling of dread.

Scores for large budget movies have a tendency to sound increasingly samey; a return to the electronic-leaning minimalism which helped make the first two Terminator movies so tense would be a welcome improvement on Genisys. Still, the generic-sounding score is far from the most serious problem a sequel would need to address.
