I have forgotten whether I have watched the previous Terminator series. But, after watching Terminator Genisys, it made me want to watch the previous series too. That's all I can say.

I saw Magic Mike xx last night and THAT was the worst. Seeing this tonight and going in expecting a horrible movie, I was pleasantly surprised (somewhat). It was sort of fun seeing Arnold back and revisiting the story.
It has some good action, a cohesive story and plot and makes for good summer action. I recommend it given the options at the theater right now.… Expand

After reading the reviews, I was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed this film. The story has some plot holes (and at least one major unanswered question), but even if its script can't hold a candle to the second movie, it's certainly not the least-well-written Terminator film (that would be T3: Rise of the Machines). The effects are suitably cool and the actors are suitably cast. If there's one thing that Arnold S. actually can act like, it's a robot. Perhaps that's the picture's biggest crime - it's just suitable rather than phenomenal. It could be said that the Terminator franchise is like a rock band that peaked with their second album and has never recaptured that perfect sound. But that doesn't mean they don't put out decent records every now and then.… Expand

Who sent the terminator back to when sarah was a kid, I still don't know maybe next movie, how many time travel devices are there? The CGI for terminators coming through fire still looks like computer graphics to me. Skynet is not destroyed just delayed even though lots of buildings went down, doctor who has an ironic bit part, maybe in the future skynet is a time lord...or something.

Even though it was just a graze, James Cameron had his fingers in Genisys and you can tell. He even stated this should have been the sequel to T2.

Genisys was far better than the last two. And for the ones complaining about the timeline, T1 with the son sending his" younger than himself" father back made absolutely no sense to start with, so let that go and enjoy a great summer movie.

They were plentiful, andThe Nostalgia: As an avid (rabid...) fan of the first two movies, and having rewatched them (yet again) shortly before seeing Genisys, I was expecting and consequently looking for references to the first two films. They were plentiful, and many were subtle. Some major events, such as the scene in the trailer where Sarah rescues Kyle Reese and the old T-800 versus the new T-800 were obviously not subtle. But they were awesome to watch, to remember those moments from T1 and see how they've changed their path due to more time traveling events since T2. The less subtle ones were enjoyable as well, however. And I don't think the average watcher of Genisys will catch even half of the subtler ones (such as a thumbs up from the old T-800 to Sarah Connor-- this is the last thing she saw of the Arnold's T2 character, as he was lowered into the steal; as well as throwbacks to T2's Terminator arm.

The story: This is easily the best plot from a Terminator movie since T2. It twists and turns but never leaves you confused. It's extremely creative, extremely engaging, and just good writing. I never felt like it was juggling too many things at once. The pacing was not only perfect, but the sequences played out very much like the Terminator movie it is. You can easily compare T1 and T2 (even T3's) structure to T5’s structure, which helps with that nostalgia and with giving you the same feelings of tenseness, curiosity, awe, and appreciation for the cleverness as when you watched the first two. Though, of course, T1 and T2 are superior films, no matter how engaging Genisys is. But I expected that. The time travel twist when Kyle goes back, what he sees, how that affects the path of this movie, was done very well, leading to unexpected turns in the plot. The actors' chemistry with each other all worked out very well, though Arnold is the obvious standout and draw.
Action and FX: Top notch for the most part. There was one scene with a Hunter-Killer (future helicopter things you see in all Terminator films) that was very obviously CGI. The Young Terminator CGI was seamless. The entire Terminator series is well-known for its practical (real-world, non-CGI) effects, and T5 delivers on that as well as any of the movies in the franchise. Some of the critics mentioned there were no memorable set pieces in the film. After watching T5, I have to wonder whether those critics watched the same movie I did. There were several memorable set pieces, environments that were essentially a 'character' within the film. This was true of T1 and T2, obviously: the Tech Noir night club (Sarah's first encounter with the two time travelers), the CyberDyne building and the steel mill in T2, and many I won't list here. But T5 had set pieces that were just as memorable. People gasped several times at how the action played out in these environments.
Humor: I think this movie had a little less humor than T2, though more than T1. There weren't really any hugely stand-out lines (besides the ones we've all come to expect), though "I've been waiting for you" is very satisfying to hear, and "Old, not obsolete" line was implemented well. Much of the comedy comes from Arnold's T-800 portrayal as he struggles to seem more human, which was, of course, the well the humor in T2 pulled on so successfully.
3D: I watched it in 3D, and I and those that went with me enjoyed it as well. I was glad to have experienced my first 3D Terminator film, that it was done well.
Dialogue/script: Not perfect, but nowhere near as campy as T3. T5 takes itself seriously, unlike T3. T1 and T2 are better than T5, and I think that's largely because they were exactly what Cameron intended them to. The twists were great, the storyline was great. They leave a couple things hanging, hoping this movie is a success and there will be two more. I'd honestly be happy with it ending here. Things were wrapped up very nicely besides some minor cliffhangers, sort of the way T2 ends on a dark road and an unknown future.
Verdict: I need to rewatch this film to decide exactly how it stacks up to T1 and T2. It was a fun thrill ride with some really interesting plot points that really furthered the Terminator narrative in a way that T3 and T4 never came close to achieving. For reference, I would give T1 a 9.5 (mostly due to limitations in technology in 1984), T2 a 10, T3 a 6, and Salvation a 5. If I had to take a guess on this one without a repeat viewing, I'd give it between an 8.5 and a 9 (I shamelessly gave it a 10 here after seeing 6.2 average). It was better than I expected after the weak critical reviews. It surprised me, it made me smile, laugh, sit on the edge of my seat, root for the heroes while trying to understand the opposition. The film paid great homage to the first two without leaving the audience feeling like T1 and T2 weren't important due to the changes made in the timelines of T5.
If there's a sequel... well, I'll be back. Though, the future is not set.
No fate but what we make.… 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.

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

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

Arnold S. acting is similar to previous movies with small jokes that give some fun and Emilia makes a very good job as Sarah.… 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

I love this movie. Its great. But it changes the entire timeline of the Terminator movies. This movie proves that if they want to make more Terminator movies, they can by just simply creating a new timeline.

No wonder you put the upcoming Marvel director to direct this movie, I mean you guys should be aware if someone from Marvel direct your favorite movie #justsaying. So, the movie was really about Disney futuristic love kinda thing.

AboveNo wonder you put the upcoming Marvel director to direct this movie, I mean you guys should be aware if someone from Marvel direct your favorite movie #justsaying. So, the movie was really about Disney futuristic love kinda thing.

Above all, the way terminator has become so liquid metal, it'sbecoming not gory movie, that's how people so upset. I mean, "Hey! It's about Terminator, we're not wanting this kind of so sweet-chat two lovers." Yeah, people hate it because it has MARVEL level.
But, anyway if we put the 'thing' separate from the whole plot, it's actually a smart plot and great directing. I love how the whole actions remind me of Jurassic Park *can it be Spielberg behind of this movie?*
The action also brilliant *besides the trailers problems*. I didn't watch the trailer at all, just a teaser then I stop. I've been there when those so many trailers for one movie releasing and cost me to see much spoiler. So, it's absolutely the advertisement fault.
Well, because I didn't fall to those much trailer spoilers, I really enjoyed this movie. It has fresh story about Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor, and of course, our beloved John Connor.... that mostly I respect this movie writer and director to give a brilliant conclusion for John Connor's fate. It's brilliant, lets face it. It's just less gory.
I tweeted, "#TerminatorGenisys I am glad I've watched Predestination, Spaceballs, Free Birds, and HISHE Terminator Back to The Future. #justsaying."
It has funny script, yes. I like Kyle Reese version from Jai Courtney, Sarah Connor version from Emilia Clarke, and *damn* I really want the sequel because our beloved Dr. Who is tricking me! I want the sequel for him!

So, please, please if they want to make a sequel, just, just don't reshuffle the cast. It's not Spider-Man, right? Just, stop change the casts!… Expand

Chandler from "Friends" is not the best choice for role of John Connor.

Also did not like that guy playing Kyle Rise. Tom Hardy would be perfect. I was more than happy with Mother of Dragons as Sarah. This movie is for fans. But alsoChandler from "Friends" is not the best choice for role of John Connor.

This movie is for fans. But also not that bad for fresh audience. For me as a fan - 8/10, for others as just another sf action movie - 7/10.

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

Several times in the film they pay homage to T2 and the plot was tight and quick paced - the visual and sound effects were impressive! The terminators look awesome. There are plenty of eighties throwback lines and guns and ammo you loved from old Schwarzenegger films too. 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

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

Nothing will ever compare to the spirit of the first and second Terminator movies well because you hadn't heard of that idea before.

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
