So why does everyone think this film is bad, it's a pretty good one. Yeah it has its flaws and isn't as good as tue first one, but it still great.

Governator tire trop sur la corde, il va encore se ridiculiser ! à l’instar des nombreux nanars pathétiques qu’il n’arrête pas de tourner depuis son retour sur la scène.

Et pourtant ! ce T5 me fait penser à T3 et c’est un sérieux compliment. D’abord, il est drôle : les clins d’oeil cabotins d’Arnold, les répliques pince-sans-rire fusent et diffusent presque aussi régulièrement que dans T3. A l’inverse de T4 qui se prenait très au sérieux, ils ont compris qu’il fallait garder ce ton léger et un recul non négligeable… comme dans T3 mais sans l’égaler pour autant, cela dit. A noter la gestion de l’âge d’Arnold par exemple, non camouflé mais au contraire habilement exploité.

Certes, le délire scénaristique, notamment autour de John Connor est à la fois complètement loufoque et totalement inepte… et les multiples retours en arrière ou en avant mettent sérieusement à mal une histoire qui part décidément dangereusement en vrille…

Jason Clarke apporte beaucoup à ce John Connor hlluciné, il en a fait autre chose qu’un prétexte de scénariste imbibé comme une éponge. Enfin presque. A l’opposé, ce Kyle Reese musculeux avec sa tronche de Cro-magnon, il fait de la peine ! Quant à Sarah Connor incarnée par Emilia Clarke, elle sait se montrer un peu plus qu’une terminatrice de soutifs… et elle est si jolie qu’on lui donne e Bon Dieu sans confession, de toute façon !

Pour le reste, T5 envoit du bois sur le spectacle et l’inventivité de ses cascades, combats et explosions qui rejoignent le côté omni-délirant du film, devenu une grosse bande dessinée qui en met plein la vue. Alan Taylor, je ne sais pas qui c’est ce type mais sa réalisation est sans reproche et fort similaire à celle de Jonathan Mostow de T3 : pas de cut &t move, pas de zoom, juste du bon boulot de réalisateur au service du film.

Bonne surprise finalement pour un divertissement triple A inattendu et boîteux… mais souvent drôle : Papy Terminator est increvable !… Expand

This one quite cleverly riffs off the single biggest flaw in the logic of the Terminator franchise, namely: couldn't they just keep sending more and more Terminators back in time to ensure success?

The cleverest bit - and the main joy, to beThis one quite cleverly riffs off the single biggest flaw in the logic of the Terminator franchise, namely: couldn't they just keep sending more and more Terminators back in time to ensure success?

The cleverest bit - and the main joy, to be honest - is seeing scenes from the first Terminator play out similarly, but with slight twists...e.g. the cop who stalks Kyle Reese in the clothing store is now a cop-impersonating T1000, a la Robert Patrick in Terminator 2.

In other words: this film is a kind of sly "parody" of the first two films, and your enjoyment of it will rely almost entirely on whether you can go along with such a premise. It's certainly well-made for what it is, and a bit of a "hoot" for fans with a sense of humour. It's also one of the better films in the franchise, all things considered, though the second half definitely demands more "suspension of belief" than is humanly possible. File under "fun, but entirely inessential".… Expand

Well creating 2 timelines might confoud us. I understand why many people get nasty about this movie.. Personally I loved terminator 5. This movie is full of action, emotions and achieves its goal. The main goal of these movies is to make us shape emotions about T-800. James cameron is an expert doing that(watch other movies like titanic or avatar). I felt like smth cracked inside me when schwarzenegger said "protect my sarah" and I loved the fact that he survived, contrary to terminator 2. For me terminator 5 is a fully enjoyable movie, maybe a little far-fetched, but achives its goal. Great Job..… Expand

I enjoyed this film. The action sequences were satisfying. The time loop story is kinda tiring but ok. For me the only downside is the actor who played John Connor, his performance is not convincing.

Ce film à pris le même virage que jurassique c'est-à-dire "d'humaniser" le T-800, qui pour moi est loin d'être idiot au vu de se qui est disséminer dans la trilogie originale. En revanche Humaniser [spoiler] Skynet qui est en faite Génésis [/spoiler] .... c'est totalement absurde !!! Plusieurs erreurs dans le scénario, mais qui n'en sont peux être pas, vu qu'il y en a encore deux épisodes de prévus jusqu'en 2019 (une année ou James Cameron reprendra les droits). Pour le son le Dolby Atmos est excellent. C'est extrêmement bien spatialisé dans la salle c'est trés impressionnants. Une 3D intéressante, mais pas toujours utile. Mais des effet spéciaux au gout du jour voire un Terminator mettre une baigne n'a jamais été aussi jouissif. Se battre avec des poteaux électriques ce jeté des voitures explosé les murs comme si c'était du papier j'adore. Ce n'est pas à notre échelle, mais à l'échelle des machines et c'est trop trippant.

It stands out among the Terminator films in its ability to understand the Cameron formula. It only takes itself seriously in its telling of the alternate timeline, which it projects admirably. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, and J.K. Simmons handle themselves and each other with beautiful conviction, while Emilia Clarke is somewhat subdued in the lackluster role she portrays-she appears to be the weak link. Writing, music, production, and direction are on point while costume is no more or less than general, yet, precise. The parallels to the human condition are poignant, yet not overtly dramatized. All in all this is a fun flick with true popcorn potential. Enjoy your refills!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm actually stunned now at the bad reviews on this. I wouldn't watch if because of the reviews. I'm a HUGE fan and love the first 2. Yea yea, everybody is a huge fan. Well I am.. BUT ONLY of the first 2. There were merits to the others but they generally sucked.
This one however.. WOW.. Pretty darn good to great.
Pros... Arnold nailed it and was funny and unstoppable, sorta at the same time. The story was actually original and taking ,, SPOILER.. a new twist that I actually don't like but ended up liking anyway. Was John Conner going from mankind's last hope to the machines last hope.
Graphics were good and not over done. I actually was VERY impressed with the CGI. VERY VERY IMPRESSED.. I had to watch the making of to see if they used old footage and redid it. NOPE.. Just nailed it. K that was the pros..
This is the , FAIR.. Sarah.. Now. I'm related to Linda Hamilton as a very distant cousin and have ALWAYS been a HUGE fan of hers. Replacing her had to have been hard. At first I was like, ehhhh.. They needed her to be a little louder. A little more,, grr.. But. She really came though. By the end I could see, Oh oh. this is kind of like when Sarah did this. Or that. But. it wasn't but it was. LOVED it. She rocked. John Conner was also fair. He never really became really good but he never was bad. Just, fair to good. I expected a more charismatic stronger persona.. His acting was fine. He just wasn't.. A REALLY good John Conner. But with the exception of the child in T2 they never have had a good John Conner. Think star trek. They needed a Kirk or Janeway but got a Picard or Troi.. Now Picard/Troi are great but if you don't need that type. all the good acting won't do it. That's what I mean if that makes sense..
CONS.. Kyle Reece.. He didn't suck. and he was.. ok.. But where Conner was weak and needed to be strong. Reece NEEDED to be jumpy and overly attentive with a. PASSION or a desperation persona. This Reece was soo laid back and at ease over n over when he NEEDED to be MORE.. He did ok.. But.. if anything hurt this movie it was him. BUT notice how I STILL gave it a 9. Like I said he didn't suck. He just was miscast but still had several scenes that were done well. He seemed very comfortable with men and action scenes. Lovey dovey stuff and nervous time.. lol. Nahh.
Anyway. T1. T2. Then this one..

OH CRAP I forgot the T1000. That guy NAILED IT better than ANYONE. He's so good it's worth watching just for him.… Expand

The plot of the movie plays out a little bit like the "Star Trek" reboot. Time has been altered, so we have new actors playing old characters in a new story. The weird part her is the amount of time travel. This could have been a parody film.

The action is classic terminator. Humans have to waylay robots with crude 1980s weapons and vehicles to even hope to survive. Arnold is classic Arnold, only older. Digitally recreated Arnold is amazing and puts Terminator 4 to shame. Some of the effects gags were stolen from other films, but that might be a sign of my age. When you have seen decades worth of films, they all start to blend together.

My big beef is with Kyle Reese. In the original "Terminator", he was a battle hardened vet on a suicide mission. In "Genisys", he is a young adult heart throb. He was so out of character I thought maybe he was a secret Terminator.

Finally, you have to start putting aside all of the stupidity in this film. There are too many trips to police stations. An electronic intelligence wouldn't want to set off a worldwide nuclear powered EMP pulse. They still don't explain how a computer program makes the terminators. The best it could do is take over 3D printers and make little plastic Terminators. I made the stupidity part of the fun.… Expand

He was Mr. Olympia, and to imagine him as an unstoppable killing machine was terrifyingly believable. What if he came to your door? As with all the movies of that time, Star Wars, Rocky, Indiana Jones, etc, no one expected there would be sequels. That's something Hollywood dreamed up later. So here we have number 5; how do they make it different but still the same? The basics are still the same, the machines take over the world, but sending Kyle back in time to save John Conner's mother has a twist. And there are more twists to come. Most of them don't really make sense if you analyze it logically. But hey, this is an action movie, fighting, shooting, blowing stuff up, and Arnold, of course. "I'll be back" became quite a catch phrase back in 1984. Who knew he'd be coming back 30 years later?… Expand

Crazy action, Arnold mugging it up with one-liners, the return of the T-1000, Khaleesi pulling off a flawless American accent and making Linda Hamilton proud in the role of Sarah Connor, Matt Smith (Doctor Who) even making an appearance... what's not to love? Well, there are a few missteps along the way. Jai Courtney totally fails at portraying Kyle Reese, and most of the set pieces aren't as elaborate or as intricate as those of the past installments (though Arnold does shine in them). I'm honestly just happy that this totally negates the events of the cluster-eff that was "Terminator: Salvation".

For the people who were disappointed with this one, what were they expecting, the second coming of Christ? It's a freaking Terminator movie for God's sakes, logic and consistency not exist in this dojo. In fact, I applaud the filmmakers for playing it fast and loose with the timeline and basically flipping everything on its head. As a stand-alone movie, it works decently, but as a reboot for the franchise, I think it works splendidly, despite one too many "old, but not obsolete" grandpa Arnold jokes. For the first time since "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" was announced, I'm actually looking forward to the next one. Good job, filmmakers.… Expand

I went into "Genisys" thinking, wow, if THOSE movies got good reviews, imagine how awful this is going to be, considering it got bad reviews....
And yet, I was pleasantly surprised. The acting was really solid, the plot I could actually follow without rolling my eyes or falling asleep, and the movie actually built to a climax that I cared about. Could it have used some more polish? Sure. Was it a groundbreaking sci fi masterpiece in the same way T1 was? Not exactly. But still, this was a fun "ride" of a movie, which you expect action movies to be. (It also had modern, relevant questions being raised about our reliance on smart phone tech.)
I remember reading some critiques, like "they don't explain why Arnold's Terminator aged well," though I thought they did perfectly. He's made of living tissue....which ages.....simple enough? And as for complaints about the time traveling, time traveling has NEVER made sense. You need to suspend your disbelief, that's the whole point.
Anyway, this all just goes to show how bought and paid for the review industry is. If you like terminator and want a fun movie, go see this!… Expand

It is impossible to make a new T2. We were ten years old back then. Get over it.

I don't know what do people expect.

There is one thing I really missed from this movie: A original Gn'R track "You Could be mine" should be on that tape player, instead of that lame imitation.… Expand

The best part of the movie and what takes it to a whole new awesome level is Arnold Shwarzenegger,who returns to the leading role as a real bad ass.Also Jason Clarke is outstanding and Emilia Clarke does a wonderful job at portraying the famous Sarah Connor.Despite the hate,I think that Jai Courtney was fine as Kyle Reese too.
The visuals were truly awesome too,and they stand out on the breath taking action scenes,which are truly something incredible and well done.Add there the great score by Lorne Balfe and Brad Fiedel,and you get this amazing movie filled with awesome sequences that stand out and are very memorable.
Now while the story is not great and it does have some plot holes especially connecting to the old movies,they take away little here as everything else is very well done.
I liked the way that John Connors character is done,as he has the right motivation and the perfect actor to portray that to us,in a way that we buy and enjoy it.
I loved the end battle and that whole scene,I liked the villains motivations and the way it was written,and the way the movie concluded it was very satisfying.
I truly think that this is the perfect start to what is hopefully the start of a new trilogy that is to come very soon with sequels that are as good as this.… Expand

People really need to stop comparing sequels with their predecessors. Sure this continuation isn’t as great as T2, but that doesn’t necessary mean that this movie sucks! Which is sadly does to at several occasions.

+ Fun connection withPeople really need to stop comparing sequels with their predecessors. Sure this continuation isn’t as great as T2, but that doesn’t necessary mean that this movie sucks! Which is sadly does to at several occasions.

+ Fun connection with the old movies, an awesome opening scene, much humor (much more than the previous movies), great action-sequences (even though they aren’t that unique) and great actors. Emilia Clarke and Arnold did a really great job, they both blend perfectly into their characters. The non-linear storytelling was a big surprise in my opinion, because I did expect a bad reboot of the exact same story we saw in the old T-movies. But it wasn’t bad, yes it might be a bit too complex and it did become confusing but I really enjoyed the more complex and surprisingly great plot of the movie. The music is great, but there’s no feeling in it, it could have been better. The last great aspect is that it really is an unpredictable movie, and it did surpass my expectations!

Yes, it’s no T2. But it’s no Salvation either. Sure the old and more scary theme, that we saw in T1-T3 sure is gone; Genesis didn’t feel scary or as thrilling as the old movies. But it got its great aspects as previously mentioned, but it really isn’t a flawless movie!

- Confusing and odd storytelling made me feel left out of the movie (but still great because I like movies that need the audience to think). The trailers ruined the movie like hell too, I’ve never seen a movie that have been spoiled so greatly like Genisys. Almost every action-sequence throughout the movie have already been seen, what a waste! Sure there are some surprises here and there, but there could have been so much more if the trailers hadn’t spoiled so much! Another bad aspect is the story, some events are a bit illogical, they doesn’t fit the original characters in the old movies. The ending could also have been better, more developed and better written. Other smaller aspects are; lack of great CGI at certain places, and perhaps too many villains (but great villains!) at once. It did feel pointless sometimes, the villains were defeated so easily meanwhile the previous movies got a hard time doing just that. Genisys really did ruin the villains, they don’t feel like a threat, the scary feeling we got from T2 with the T-1000 is totally gone. Thank you Genisys.

Terminator Genysis is a movie full of flaws. I’m a bit confused due to many great, but also bad things with this movie. The humor and the action is the best things, but the villains, the trailers and the lack of terminator entertainment that we saw in T2 isn’t here anymore. But it’s not a bad movie. Sure it does stand out from the original movies, but guys; it’s a reboot and it’s a fun ride of action and humor. Don’t listen to the bad critics and don’t expect a great Terminator movie, go into the theaters or your living room and watch this insanely great action flick!

Terminator Genisys surely is overwhelmed with serious flaws.

That storyline makes total sense and was not hard to follow at all. Here an example of nothing the producers could have done would have changed the critic reviews because every critic hated T3 and T4 and so what does T5 do, it practically erases them from existence in a much better way, and what was the critics response. Oh, what are the producers doing, are we just going to pretend T3 and T4 never existed. So basically Terminator Genisys gave the critics everything they wanted for 12 years and the reviews were still bad. I really hope this does well in China because I really really really want them to make more Terminator movies. DONT LISTEN TO THE CRITICS! PERIOD,… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What is wrong with the "professional" reviews?Such a bad score?Why?I saw a review of this movie on YT from Angry Joe.He likes most of the time the same things i like and he said "great movie".So i went into a theatre.My friends saw prof. reviews and were already **** about that movie.No wonder after the last 2 **** movies.But here?Its a great movie!Why?Lets see:

Visuals:The 3D is a money-waster.Its always a waste of money if the movie isnt made for 3D like avatar.
Sadly enough no theatre in my town shows this movie without 3D.Some effects look ok but most of the time you can take off your 3D glasses and its fine.After the movie i had a massive headache and my eyes hurt too.Never had that before.But if i ignore that fact the visuals are ok, sometimes even great.Think about it that way:The second movie looks still great today.It was a masterpiece of its time and thats why it looks still good.Maybe thats the reason why some people are not that satisfied.They think its 2015/2016 and the movie needs to look MUCH better.No, it needs to look good and deliver a good vibe and i think it did that.When the movie starts its the future-time.Massive CGI scenes with great looking terminators.Big fights with lots of equipment.Much better when you compare it to the last movie.Make-up and stuff is ok to great too.

Sound:I dont know if this is the fault of the theatre i visited(was the first time).The sound was not that "hard".I missed bass when something explodes or when a gun fires.Besides that it was okay.Music is ok, i miss some of the old themes.I think they should have used old assets just for the feeling.

Story:The story is well explained.They use some time to explain the future for example, they tell some lore and some jokes.The jokes are all spot on.Never too seriously, some are a reference to the first too movies.I laughed some times, thats ok.The characters are well written with one exception:Kyle!I dont know why he is such a **** an expierenced soldier from the future but later in the movie hes just a **** and not cool.Many might complain there are some holes in the story.Yes and i like that.Its on purpose for the next movies and you feel that when they ask some questions.Like "who send back the terminator to save sarah??".Nobody knows, its a mystery even when the movie is over.If they do something with this plotholes it might turn out great over the next movies.If not the fanbase will be pissed.

Acting:Emilia Clark is great!Shes the right choice.Arnold is really funny and delivers the hole time ths presence.

Conclusion:If you ignore the last 2 movies this is a great third movie after the great first movie and the masterpiece Terminator 2.For me the movie is between T1 and T2.ot as good as the second movie.But thats ok, the second movie is still a masterpiece in many aspects.I recommend this movie to everyone!… Expand

Arnold is back and delivers his lines perfectly. Terminator's major flaw is over complicating itself with time travel but looking past that, the movie delivers for what you expect in a terminator film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terminator Genisys was probably the best movie since Judgement Day. Yeah, sure the plot is complicated, but why bash a movie just because you don't like time travel? I bet a lot of the people who hate the movie are just angry because they hate change. I don't see a problem with it. Change and re-imagination is good. Would you want to have movie with the same plot every year? I would think you wouldn't unless you are completely intellectually incapable of following complicated plots. The reboot of Star Trek in 2009 had an altered timeline? What makes Terminator Genisys so bad compared to Star Trek? Yeah, sure Jai Courtney wasn't the best Kyle Reese, but he sure beat Christian Bale who played John Connor in Salvation. Jason Clarke as John Connor is Genisys was by far my favourite. Yeah maybe some just don't care for the movie, that's fine. I personally loved the movie, but I really only watched it for Jason Clarke. If a sequel is to happen cough, With Jason Clarke cough, I would watch it for sure, without a doubt. I'm sure people disagree with my review, but really don't care what other people think about the movie. This is "my" honest to god thoughts on the movie. SPOILERS ---- Sure you don't like how John became a T-3000 in the movie and was the bad guy. No matter how you feel, John was still the machines problems. I would go on, but feel that it's best to stop while I can.… Expand

After T3 I was afraid that T5 might be even worse but I went to watch it anyway. And boy am I happy I did! Definitely worth watching, even for T1/T2 fanatics.
To any and all critics giving it below 70 I say GTFO.

STORY
Too complicated for a Terminator flick. Too many changes of scenery and objectives. The numerous versions of the past and the future messed it up a bit too much. There are a few holes here and there and too many questions arise during the viewing. Most of it is explained in as simple manner as possible by the actors yet it is hard to think about it. The reason for that is the action scenes are too close to each other. Basicly in every Terminator flick what you got was this : setup---action---explaining dialogues---action---more dialogues---etc.---ending. Every --- means 10-15 minutes so the viewer can rest a bit and get the hang of what is going on. Not in T5, here every --- durates for 5-7 minutes and then you get action. Not enough time to comprehend.
At some moment I felt like watching Inception and for an action movie it is not good.
Other than that the story makes sense and is deep enough. The holes are not so gaping to call BS. You watch it and hear the dialogues….ok, I can work with that. It is also interesting to see what T5 did to T1 and T2 and it is faithful to the original material, with one exception.
Moreover I was surprised two times by how it goes and that happens very rarely nowadays. Big props for that.
I absolutely loved the ending.
So T5 is a full action movie with deep enough story as in T1/T2. Classic stuff in the best sense.
Oneliners are great. Dialogues are ok. Some old questions from T1/T2 get answered here aswell.

CAST
Here I feel the movie could have done better. In T1/T2 all characters are deep and you sympathise with them. In T5 they feel more like story drones. Ahnold who plays a machine stands out among the human characters that are a bit hollow.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is everything I hoped for. He is nothing short of the T2 guy, a bit worse than T1 electronic murderer. It feels like the whole flick is AHNOLD-APPROVED for great entertainment.
Sarah Connor at first I didn`t like but the got through with good performance. Has everything the original Sarah had. With Arnie she keeps up the comical part through the whole movie.
Kyle Reese…no, just no. Kyle was not a hulk of a man he is in T5. He was not as stupid and iritating as the one in T5. Good performance but a mishap of the character.
John Connor - ok I guess, nothing outstanding but he did his part. I`d like him to be more into his character but it came out remote. I guess if he was bad then he`d ruin the movie but it didn`t happen so overall good job.
T1000 for the time he got in the flick I`d say he was meh.

SHOW
FANSERVICE!!! Lots of it in this movie and in just the right proportions as to not ruin the story. The whole movie pays homage to the first two films and it brought some cool new stuff on its own.
Too much CGI, a bit. It was good but they overdid it just a notch. The T1 Ahnold looked ok but nowhere near natural (although much better than in Salvation).
Overall all the fights look cool, creative and deal some serious environment damage. The only one I didn’t like was the helicopter scene.

MUSIC
A big NO. What the hell? Am I watching a Terminator flick or a Man of Steel flick?! Completely missed the mood of the movie. Came out artificial and needlessly pathetic. Adds nothing to the movie but feels like an itch with minor minutes of in between breaks. Not every movie needs an epic orchestra tune to make it look and feel good. Didn`t ruin the movie but I can`t believe they screwed this up that much.

I rate Genisys at 83/100.… Expand

Arnold does wonders forTo the so called Critics that review this film, allow me to quote a famous Terminator line by the Arny man himself, **** you **** Why you might ask, because too much early witch hunting BS went down about this film. Arnold does wonders for this film, giving credit to the character, the director a new approach to the film and yet classy to the Cameron feel of how the future is portrayed. If anything that can be criticized was the studio company giving away too many plots too early in the marketing of, "Terminator Genisys", and the fact to have James Cameron talk about it to help endorse it. As Arnold stated, "The director did a fine job and it seemed that the studio wanted to get Cameron to endorse the film." Along that context. The only thing that besides too early of plot marketing of the film was also of the fact that too many details and give away's were leaked in the marketing giving a bad taste to the expectation of the film. Emilia Clarke is good in her performance of Sarah Connor, and the rest of the cast as well. The film gives excellent humor in the film if also homage to the catch phrases that made the franchise memorable. The only downside for the film itself is the idea of speeding the story a little too quick at certain points but at the same time too throw in some mysterious plot points related to Arnold's character itself. But while the slight mystery plots were potholes only at minor areas. The film itself makes up in overall story, action, and an exciting roller coaster. To the fans supporting this I quote, "Excellent!" To the critics rating this movie at Metacritic, allow me to add an additional quote and misleading the fan base totally, "Chill out, Dick-wad!"… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An enjoyable action film which at times is seemingly a parody of the Terminator franchise (a good thing!). Arnold is back and delivers an extremely entertaining performance full of cheesy one liners and some very active fight scenes! Some greatly humorous throwbacks to the original film during the scenes in the 80s which at times almost felt like you were watching an 80s flick. CGI Arnold returns albeit briefly in an apparent stab at Salvation which I enjoyed and the plot was quite interesting. More modern scenes were quite accurate in their portrayal of our current obsession with being constantly connecting and the Windows 10 esque operating system was interesting. John Connor delivered a fantastic performance and really made you fear the character at times, while Matt Smith's performance similarly shone out towards the end of the film. Overall, a slightly cheesy and action-orientated film but not one that deserves the bashing given by critics. Certainly will be enjoyable for fans of the series and an interesting take on the Terminator franchise!… Expand

I made a point to watch the original Terminator prior to viewing this film and was amused to see them recreate the scenes in which both Reese and 1984 T-800 arrive by time travel. The film was geniunely thought out and written quite clever. If one has a problem following a very simple plot, then go back to school, it wasn't hard to follow at the least. Brilliantly entertaining, and throws around an astounding theory that time, no matter if the past is changed, or the future, it is still linear. Loved this film, love the franchise. 10/10… Expand

What the hell were critics smoking when they reviewed this movie? I really enjoyed Genisys. It's not as special as 1 or 2, but in the end, as well as ignoring 3 and Salvation, I say it's a worthy successor to James Cameron's films.

Arnie je sice stará páka ale hláškoval jak za mlada, příběh celkem ušel i když se jedná především o těžkou popcornovku a výběr rolí také nebyl zcela od cesty. Začátek byl naprosto perfektní v půlce to trošku začalo zpomalovat aby to ke konci nabralo plný plyn. Jsem velmi mile překvapen, jak to celé dopadlo, jen mi tam chyběla obvyklá scéna s brýlemi. Ano, když chce člověk psa bít, hůl si vždy najde a kdybych chtěl, mohl bych to vlastně celé strhat, ale mě se fakt nechce. Opravdu jsem se bavil a to i přesto, že to byl jeden velký digitální trip a věci byly mnohdy přitažené hodně za vlasy. Za hlavní plus považuji, že mě to doslova vrátilo časem.… Expand

Made today the campaign for the new Terminator, which is the Genesis. Copies among fans of the franchise around him was broken a lot — TRU or not TRU aged robot (Arnie that is 30 years younger), canonical or not canonical to touch such moves from Cameroon's novels, and many other hundreds of posts in the relevant forums. Me, honestly, is also doubted. The third part was more of the sh*t, the fourth — good film, but generally perceived separately from the series. But, the first full-length trailer and then a laudatory review from the Cameron set up a optimistic way. And, not to Buriatia doubts, went on first impressions to assess first hand.

To my surprise, the movie was not in repertoire terms beloved of the Beam. When blockbusters such level with each iron show strive. Sea cinema and Kinomax past for me, so picked available from the Epicenter. I am to him is not, however, kinik to look at pull. Screen even, visually, more Lucavsala, chairs, kind, gentle, and the fact that he looks shabby Yes pomateny — well, the tea, and I'm not a glamorous chick that will hang out crawling.

The features of the Epicenter, again the level of his "popdose" showing — the ticket purchased online, then punch at the box office. No self-service terminals. In the afternoon when we went, that's the rules. And so, to stand in queues does not suit me. Why take online that is more convenient. Terminals special queues have never watched. Well, okay with it. As I said, went in the afternoon to catch up to the evening training session, and this session, the hype was not observed. Although, on a prior, judging by facing the people, the hall was Packed. Can pripasov on the very first session, seeded, XS.

The film was in 3D. Not my favorite format, but in this case they, and not abused, as is sometimes the case, and he built unobtrusively, so that picture was a plus. How, in fact, and so its contents.

Initially, the first 15 minutes, it was still a feeling of wrongness of what is happening, and the picture looked like the fourth, except that canonically in sombre dark colours were filed all future. However, over time the picture has absorbed the attention and all sorts of philosophical izmyshlizmy in this picture there was no time left. Action interspersed short breaks, during which we are the creators of the picture by the mouths of the characters explained what the hell is going on here (and the events of the first two Terminators then segued into something new, play with time, all cases), sometimes the characters drove the lyrics (except for Arnie here were all stereotypically-blockbuster, well, put a pinch of the lyrics — here you are), and then again quality the action. The fights and action on top, and lots of it. From the picture hardly someone expected a profound drama and leisurely story about the adventures of a cyborg soldier and resistance in the past. And, with all blokbasterami, not being superficial Thriller. Somewhere, even for modern society of consumption to ride casually done. Note on the Genesis, gadgetmania and what about her said heroes. And this is in anticipation of the release of Windows 10, by the way! The plot to discuss and chew over not undertake, briefly about it stakeholders know, but a paraphrase of live screenings of the film — it is necessary to you?

Of course, by the way, how many ears protruded classical novels. Generally the new movie came out a hybrid qualitative remake Kemeronovskoy tapes, plus, again high-quality continuation of the story already new authors. Then you and the liquid T-1000, and the chase sometimes blows nostalgia, but... no stupid tracings, reinterpretation and continuation of traditions. Then, by the way, the film remains a stumbling block. Someone that treats the "Holy swung and messed up", I will say — the story faced in childhood (the first 8 years he gazed, the second — 12) came back to life on the screen, telling that the same might be/happened next. Without falling into sampraday, paste and so on. Direct pancake immediately the result in the middle of the review happened. Well, maybe then it's time to call it a day.

But, in conclusion, we can not say about the Arnold Schwarzenegger. Famous for the role of a soulless killer machine, subsequently trying to become like the man, he again best played a role. Dont copywrite yourself 20-30 years ago, and showing evolution (as far as possible for her) machine, lived for several decades to protect one person. With humor, irony, and a dash appears in the T-800 over the years humanity. "Save my Sarah" — so to the fifth part of the killing machine showed that Skynet really created a new mind (and not only in the form itself), is able not only to cold digital analysis but also something that distinguishes living from nonliving. For me, this film will take its rightful place with the classical T-2,

A few minutes later I was confronted by a angry mob of children telling me the movie is bad. There was a lot of drama/tears/shouting, but it turns out these online reviews that kids access from their smart phones are rubbish and only serves to irritate parents.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's an OK movie but i would separate it from the whole Terminator franchise It is overcomplicated with things that are unnecessary and instead of simple story like in T1,2,3,4 we get something really complex in terms of story with a lot of comical reliefs on the top. The problem is that the script writer had no idea how to close holes in the script so instead of simplifying it he used thing like "we just don't know lol. For example the main question of the film - who sent Pops back in time? What was the answer? "This information is deleted from my memory". I mean they leave it there just like that and don't do anything with this story hole. This is terrible. On the other side visuals are very good i like it but i couldn't get rid of the feeling that i was watching Fast & Furious 2029 instead of Terminator. It looks good but at the same time it's dumb as **** and it has nothing to do with the original. I think i can clearly say that the movie was saved only by the appearance of Arnold. Without him the movie would be a complete disaster.

Overall it has a little to do with the original diology but it is watchable in a company of friends and booze. It's is more like a fan made film rather than a real one and it is not worth buying on the Blu Ray but it's not bad either. I think 610 or 710is a fair score for that movie.… Expand

The acting was sharp with some nice laughs thrown in so it doesn't take it self so seriously. Also kudos to Hollywood for making it PG-13 so it's more family oriented. Keep it classy. A big applause to director Alan Taylor (The Sopranos, Game of Thrones) and bringing in "Khaleesi" to play Sarah Conner (babe alert!) - significantly cuter than Linda Hamilton. And more chill. No offense. The movie also makes some good social commentary on the use of technology. Today most of society is plugged in (smartphones) and theirs not much real connection going on between friends and family. It's important to realize we have a short time on earth - make the most of it! This film was an action packed race for humanities future and I look forward to the next two in line!… Expand

No Terminator movie would be complete without the concept of time travel.

Arnie was in his mid thirties the first time he took on the role of a Terminator but but 31 years later he still has the magic. There’s something truly unique and heart warming about watching an Arnie movie on the big screen. It’s as natural a thing as breathing.

Jason Clarke, Courtney and Emilia Clarke all work well together but the plot becomes a little hard to follow with all its talk about time travel and alternate realities.

What's the standard now for summer blockbusters? If the script is good, usually meaning a team of collaborative writers as with Pixar's best movies, and the production values above average, the movie is pretty enjoyable or perhaps near-great. This certainly describes the Marvel movies of the last five years and Jurrassic World as well.

How can people LOVE Jurrassic World but hate T-Genisys? Jaded audiences?

T-5 is not quite as good as the under-rated T-4, the fable of a Terminator who wished to become a human being. Wonderful storytelling. T-5 is almost this good. Its virtues for me are the tender care and consideration given to Terminator lore and to Arnold in his role. If you liked T-2, you probably liked how the two Terminators crash up a shopping mall. That same wonderful energy of casual destruction of cultural places is duplicated--not imitated--in T-5 when they casually crash up a hospital and police station. Duplicating the look, feel and energy of one of the strongest images of Cameron's T-2 is no small feat.

You'd think the excitement of Cameron's original liquid metal Terminator in T-2 would be hard to duplicate. Allen Taylor's oriental cool and deadly liquid T-2 equals or surpasses the original, again, no mean feat.

So what's not to like? If you liked T1 and T-2, I suspect you'll really like T-5; unless of course, being jaded is a value to you.… Expand

This is a classic example of film critics having a nostalgic attachment to source material (i.e. the first two Terminator films) that's not as great as they remember it being. I have enjoyed all of the Terminator films, but none are great.This is a classic example of film critics having a nostalgic attachment to source material (i.e. the first two Terminator films) that's not as great as they remember it being. I have enjoyed all of the Terminator films, but none are great. Examples: 1) There is no believable, meaningful "connection" between Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese in the first film, due to bad acting and even worse dialogue. 2) T2 may be a somewhat better film but it also suffers from some poor acting/scripting/directing (e.g. there's this awkward Sarah Connor voice-over, narration device that gets introduced out of nowhere about halfway through the film-- assuming it was done in order to match tone with the first film?). T3 was forgettable, but not awful.

The new film is everything you would want from a 2015 Terminator movie. Chiefly, the FX and storyline are much improved and updated. I, for one, was curious what modern film FX and even makeup crews could do with the groundwork laid in the original Terminator films (i.e. with the T1000's liquid metal construct and Arnie's endoskeleton). Also, the role of the internet and mobile devices does not play any part in the first 2 films. With it being such an integral aspect of modern society, it was necessary to show how SkyNet could launch in the midst of that kind of world (i.e. the world in which we actually live). Further, the film does a nice job of paying homage (mainly) to the first film, it does a far better job of developing a love story between Kyle and Sarah, and even "humanizes" the Guardian (i.e. Pops, T100) more than any of the other films.

Critics are seemingly bothered by the lack of new ideas coming out of Hollywood. I actually tend to agree. But what I don't understand is their general praise for a film like Jurassic World, which was a completely unoriginal 2015 retelling of Jurassic Park, and their general dislike for Terminator Genisys, which featured an entirely new plot and completely reset the "Terminator" world for new plots in the future (pun intended).

The bottomline is that it accomplishes what it sets out to accomplish. If you don't analyze the plot-holes too much (which, again, are arguably fewer in number than the previous films), you'll find it thoroughly entertaining. Just go into it with modest expectations and without too much cynicism. Again, if you are a fan of the other films in the series and can be honest about their limitations, there is no reason why you would not enjoy this one as well.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a really big fan of the first 2 Terminator movies, and I think that Rise of the Machines is a bit underrated. Salvation was horrifying, and I feared that Genisys will be the same. And how incredibly wrong I was.

Genysis is WAY better than Rise of the Machines, for me it was on par with the first movie, and only a bit worse than Judgment Day. Certainly the best Schwarzenegger movie since he came back to filming. The story was twisted enough to be fresh, the action was top-notch and the only thing I was disappointed in is that the T-1000 was destroyed too fast. I really wanted a duel between the T-1000 and John Connor (it could explore the fact that the T-1000 can become self aware and give the middle finger to Skynet).

So the movie was great I think, and I would like to ask the critics: what the hell have you watched guys? Seriously, 2.5/10 and 1/10? You have got to be kidding me. Why do I have the feeling, that because of Rise of the Machines and Salvation you gave the movie 2.5 and 1 BEFORE even seeing it? To be honest, I got to the point, when I'm thinking that I don't care about the international critic reviews anymore.

So my message to everyone who saw the previous Terminator movies: forget Salvation, and see this. You won't be disappointed!… Expand
