This summer has seen Mad Max, Jurassic World and Terminator movies hit cinemas.
Ryan looks at whats good and bad about the soft reboot…
Lets take a look at them in turn.
Jurassic Worldintroduces a new collection of leads, but still brings a few faces back from the past.
John Hammond briefly appears, albeit as a statue.
Bigger, faster, louder, more teeth.
Make it so theyre too scared to even look down at their mobile phones.
At the same time,Jurassic Worldis emblematic of how nostalgic and reverential Hollywood is for its bygone hits.
Look, they seem to say.
You cant be angry with us for making a newTerminatorfilm.
Its got Arnold Schwarzenegger in it.
Just ask George Miller.
How can this be?
How did it manage to succeed where the likes ofIndiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skullfail?
The decisions behindFury Roadwere instinctual, not made by executives or accountants.
We havent seen the last of the soft reboot, either, or at least the sentiment behind it.
