TheMunkeyBoy First off, I Loved the original Terminator and T2 was incredible. I felt T3 wasn't needed and was lacking but, I didn't hate it. I guess it was he female terminator that was the major dosapintment. I really enjoyed the fourth film Salvation. I don't know why people didn't like it. It was a good film. Now Genisys started with some great ideas and I was getting really excited. Using elements of the first 2 films and creating something really hectic crazy. I was into it. Then it got stupid. In a lot of ways. I don't like to put spoilers in here, so I won't. But, one things is they ruined John Connor and all he is meant to be & stand for. Instead of tying in with the originals 2 films it actually crapped on hem and ruined their whole story and the point of John Connor. What a twist!? Yes. But, a stupid one. John Connor aside, the amount of jumping through time was getting too much. I understand time travel was a part of the first 3 films but, very minimal, the films didn't keep focusing on it. Anyway.... nothing wrong with the acting here. No best actor awards I'd give but, everyone was fine. It wasn't the actors faults that this movie is a mess. It's the story and possibly made worse by how it was put together. I'd recommend missing this one unless you can handle the mess it makes of the Terminator universe and just view it as a B-Grade flawed SciFi movie on its own.

martinjkristiansen This is a great history and Arnold is back in the mood as we know him. Hopefully he will make more Terminator movies in the future.

bombersflyup Terminator Genisys is a quality action flick, that has a little heart in it.Emilia Clarke and Schwarzenegger are terrific. The guy playing Kyle Reese was pretty bad though, he was too muscular to speak or move properly, unlike Arnold this guy was trying to play a role he could not. How did a character played by Anton Yelchin turn into this anyway? Genisys is less detached than Salvation and many of the action sequences are similar to that of Judgment Day, not to that level but similar. All of Arnold's comedic moments connected and I really bought Emilia as Sarah Connor.John: "What do we want?" Danny: Time travel. John: "And when do we want it?" Danny: It's irrelevant.

nbutcher-69458 Arnie is back again in a Terminator movie, and while all the special effects and explosions are back in all their twisted glory - the story just makes no sense whatsoever.It's really not even comprehensible. I mean, I tried and all. However the story writers decided to seriously complicate the plot from a "Back to the Future" understanding of time travel and fast forward it all the way to a "Primer" levels of time travel. The end result is an incomprehensible mess of a story.If the plot is just so utterly jumbled - that even IF I were to sit down and motivated to even try to understand it - it really doesn't matter. The end result is a story we don't understand. A story we don't care about. A story about people we don't understand and couldn't care less about - because we have no idea who what or why anything is even happening. It's as if the movie wants to say "Things are going to blow up! Just accept it!".Terminator Genisys is a pure example about how movies can ultimately say nothing about the human condition and for all the special effects effectively mean zilch - and be all the worse for it. There was some subtle theme about being too trusting of technology with all our connected devices in there but it was so limp-wristed, so pathetically tacked on, and half-hearted that it deserves to be ignored.But by golly, by jingo, by jimminy willers, there were a lot of explosions!
