Actually much better than I was expecting. The Terminator series is patchy to say the least, but for me I'd say this is behind the first two movies.

Don't get all the hate and low ratings.
I really enjoyed the movie, it paid homage to first and second. Had a self humor and brought back epic action of T2. Over all it is solid action and I rate it 8/10

Emilia Clarke was perfectly cast as Sarah Connor. She brings a certain innocent vulnerability to the role that makes perfect sense in the context of the plot. Jai Courtney, while not ground breaking, delivers a solid performance as Kyle Reese. Jason Clarke was outstanding as John Connor and delivers a thoroughly enjoyable performance and often steals the scene. Arnold is Arnold, take that as you well. The references and jokes regarding the previous films were enjoyable and appropriately delivered without being done. The action was good, but more importantly the plot was better. I've seen people say the plot is convoluted, but I completely disagree. It's no more complicated than Inception and is a perfectly legitimate story given the context of time travel. J.K. Simmons' character Detective O'Brien wasn't really necessary and could have been removed, BUT his presence in the story makes total sense. Overall this was actually quite well written and thoroughly enjoyable. It is completely faithful to the original two Terminator films and SIGNIFICANTLY better than the crappy Terminator: Rise of the Machines and Terminator: Salvation. If you enjoy the Terminator franchise and wanted to see it done justice, this film should certainly please you. 8/10.… 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

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. Now that I have seen this movie I would not buy it on dvd it seems to lack middle ground actors, its all about the main four stars.… 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

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 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 is at his best and the explanation for hisThis movie is clearly meant as an amalgamation of the first two movies. You could even go as far as calling it a tribute. It's not as clever or as groundbreaking, but there's a lot to enjoy. Arnold is at his best and the explanation for his dated looks as a terminator is easily believable. This was probably my biggest question when learning that the movie was in the works and wondering about Arnolds age since he is supposed to be a robot. But it makes sense! And the "young" t-800 looks great! Almost can't tell it's cgi and I absolutely loved the scenes where they interact.
There's a lot of enjoyable dialog in this movie. Some comedic stuff going on aswell, which I always appreciate as long as it's not overdone. They walk the line, but don't cross it. The Arnold smile was just brilliant!
Action sequences are reminiscent of a lot of the action from the first two movies. Clearly meant as such, which is perfect in my opinion. They did go a bit overboard a couple of times, especially the helicopter scene, but nothing that really ruined anything.
One-liners are also a highlight. I'm sure the pro reviewers will bash that, as they are supposed to I guess. But I loved it. Arnold should always be back, that's just how I want it.
The story is a bit muddled - and quite hard to follow. But once I decided on just giving in to the paradoxes, I just had a brilliant time watching it. It basically tries to rewrite the first two movies, which is ok by me. The first two movies are still as brilliant as ever, so I don't mind seeing how else it could have played out. Even though it is a bit more confusing this time around.
Sarah Connor is a bit miscast in the movie. Emilia Clarke is a great actor, but she does seem a bit too decent for this role. Her look is just too sweet in my opinion, even though she does a great job at it. I certainly don't dislike her as Sarah Connor, but with Linda Hamilton's boots to fill, it's an uphill battle.

All in all this is certainly the best Terminator since T2. I'm actually wanting to just forget about 3 and 4 and call this one 3.… Expand

If you haven't watched Terminator 1 and 2 watch them before this because some parts especially the first 30 mins tie-in with them. There were some really confusing things in the movie (don't worry not a spoiler) During the beginning of the movie Kyle Resse is saved by John Connor (this may tie into Salvation timeline I don't know I haven't seen it yet) and Resse is a kid and Connor is grown its just odd. The best thing in this movie is Arnold Schwaranagger, he plays the T800 really well. Few of characters could of been used better, JK Simions (Whiplash, Spider Man) wasn't wasted but he could of played into the story more. When James Cameron gets the rights back in 3 years I hope it turns out better. I'm not going to this movie had some solid action scenes like the highway section and the Arnold vs T3000 (not going to tell you who that is if you didn't watch the 2nd trailer.) Jason Clarke (Child 44, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) did a good as John Connor and Jai Courtney (Jack Reacher) was functional as Kyle Reese. One thing I liked and had a problem with is that they brought back the T1000 (I think it's the same one) from T2 I liked that but they kinda wasted him they show most of his scenes in the 1st trailer. If you live and die by the first 2 movies, you might not like this. If you like all the terminator movies you will definitely love this movie, I personally really liked this movie.… Expand

It was a fun movie with all the stuff you like about T1 and T2 with the plot flaws of the previous two sequels. Arnold plays the terminator really well, which may say something about his acting. Jai Courtney was a very questionable Kyle Reese in the acting, but I really think a guy like him is casted as a piece of man-meat for the ladies. Sarah Connor being played by Emilia Clarke was a character you really wanted to see fall in love, as the previous actress, Linda Hamilton, I would not have thought that about. John Connor in this movie actually made for a believable character, and played a great role as a bad guy.

The story in these Terminator movies always feel like they're sort of making it up as they go, so if you're real finicky on believable story and action then you may want to look somewhere else. Fan boys of the series also don't seem to like it because it's still centered around stopping Skynet.… Expand

I actually almost didn't. My other half pressed me into it, after I'd already talked myself out of it. "Go on", she said. "Arnold, your favourite is in it!". I reluctantly agreed, was dragged to the cinema, sat down with my popcorn and for the first 30 minutes I was grinning like a kid. References left right and centre to the earlier films, yet different enough to make it engaging viewing as to where they were going to take things.

I left the cinema very happy indeed that I'd watched it on the big screen and, unlike some other films recently, I'd definitely pay to go back and watch it on IMAX.

For reference I consider T1 and 2 a tie because I like the more dark and thriller like tone of the original movie I would give them both a 9. 3 I would give a 6.5 and Salvation a 6. Today it seems almost impossible to please movie fans with the fact that the special effects can be so amazing now. Movies that have mostly practical effects that are executed at a high level will always trump the fake ass CGI effects that most movies deploy today. The new Terminator seems to have a fair amount of practical effects in it and I overall enjoyed the movie. It was fun especially the first half when they had the nostalgic element running high. The 1984 reimagining was a lot of fun. The new Terminator was really cool and the action scenes were good to me. I was able to follow the story fine. The time travelling thing is getting old and I am ready for them to put that to bed. Have a movie set after Judgement day already finish off Skynet and put this series to bed already. Its like watching the same thing over and over. They've milked the lets come up with an even more bad ass Terminator than the last time and have it come after Sarah, John and Kyle again storyline. If they do another movie like it I will not see it. But once again for a summer popcorn movie and the nostalgia factor I thought the movie was a fun time.… Expand

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.

As with all the movies of that time, Star Wars,To have seen Arnold in 1984 on the big screen was amazing. 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

Though this isn't anywhere near the best of the series and a few of the characters aren't brilliant, it's still a good action romp with time travelling robots.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Avec Terminator Génésis lui aussi fait par un FanBoy de la série Terminator de James Cameron nommé Alan Taylor (série TV et ça se voit...). 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.

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

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 movie really suffered from giving away too much in the previews. It would have probably been best not to reveal the bad guy in it as its supposed to be a pretty big emotional scene for the characters in the movie and it lost alot of impact because of it. And while the story took quite a few convoluted twists and turns, especially with the alternate dimensions stuff, it did ok in the end. Emilia Clarke does an excellent job in her first big movie role and Arnold does really good in the movie, with a few old timer jokes thrown his way for good measure. Jai Anthony really needs to stop getting these kinds of roles as he's always too stiff and rigid compared to the rest of the cast. I didn't like him in the Die Hard movie and I especially don't like him here. It's getting to a point to where I'll avoid a movie if he's in it cause I know he's going to be terrible. However there's enough good here to satisfy even a passing fancy in the terminator universe, but it should be noted that it's not going to be for everyone. It was a good time for me and my friend and that's all that mattered for me in the end.… Expand

It's not perfect and has it's share of problems of course, the script is a little weak in places, not all the one liners hit home and the cast can't compare to the original cast. Emilia Clarke and Jai Courtney's do an ok job in their roles, Emilia starts a little weak but seems to get a better grasp of Sarah as the movie goes on but they are no Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton.

There is a lot to like though. Solid action sequences, some funny one liners, brilliant recreation of the opening of the original movie, with CGI Arnold really well done, a new T-1000 which is still badass and of course real (old) Arnold playing his iconic role like he never left.

Overall it is a fun, entertaining action movie, nothing more, nothing less, so don't expect T1 / T2 greatness but it's still a pretty decent start of what should be a new trilogy, even though it does feel like a complete movie in itself, it certainly leaves a lot of questions unanswered for the future movies.

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

Jason Clarke gives a hammy performance as John Connor, but he is enjoyable, with a great story to tell, Clarke pumps life into Connor once again, one thing that Sam Warthingon couldn't do in T4. The opening sequence consists of a war between machine and man, one thing that this series has been all about' but if you really want to experience Genisys, I suggest you watch the film in the large format theatres, so you get the big picture, believe me, it's amazing. Emilia Clarke is good as Sarah Connor, as well, but is she as good as Linda Hamlinton in T2? No. But man does she try! But the holy grail of the pack, is Arnie! Holy crap, does this guy still have that swagger and bravado that made him The Terminator. He is a powerhouse on screen, the whole theatre started clapping during his one liners. Genisys has problems, it's way too long for an average action movie, and it's disappointing. It's not as good as I thought it would be, the teasers made it look special and top the three movies before it, not counting McG's disaster.

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.

The only reason I can think of that they're bashing this movie so hard is because they're probably setting their expectations for it waaaaay too high and possibly even expecting it to be as good as the first two films. If that's the case, then they have no one to blame but themselves for not liking this film, because it was never meant to be as good as the first two films. Those films are are masterpieces and this one was just meant to be a fun and entertaining action flick, which it was. And of course, it wouldn't be a Terminator film without Schwarzenegger himself in it (unlike the previous film, which threw in a cheap stunt double version of him), so it's good to see him in this. Overall, yes it has its cheesy and ridiculous moments (but what action flick doesn't nowadays?), and yes the writing and dialogue aren't up to par with some of the previous films, but at the end of the day, this was just a fun film and that's all I wanted out of this film.

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 want to say straight off this movie is leagues better than 3, and in terms of plot it flows much better than 4. Genisys goes a much campier and friendlier route than any previous entry, but unlike 3, it never shies way from this idea. Rise of the Machines suffered from incessantly back peddling away from its cornball moments to try and pull off a grim story, which at the end of the day could have been really good.

Genisys is the Terminator movie you can take your kid or your younger brother to and have a great time, heck, take you daughter or kid sister! Sarah Connor is a fantastic action chick as ever, still not totally sure how I feel about Amelia playing a role that was previously filled by Linda Hammilton, but she did a fantastic job. The real star though is Arnold as quite literally Terminator Dad. He's melancholy and old and emotionless and yet... in weird ways when he does emote, it hits with a pretty good amount of weight. He's not going to get a moment that rivals, "I know now why you cry," but he gets some great goofy lines and does pull a heart string or two.

Is T5 perfect? Nope. I would call it fun though, a whole bucket of big dumb fun that is tonally consistent all the way through.… Expand

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

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.

Yes, we have deep changes on Skynet's timeline and John happens to be the villain but follow this story is as entertaining as in the past. T-800 rules and makes as laugh with his gained humanity, Kyle and Sarah have a funny love story and action sequences are very good. How not to like this? Many questions remain but they will surely be answered in the next films of the franchise, which I can't wait to watch.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Watching the 5th film (which is not so bad), I began to think something like: "I've seen Terminator 1, 2, 3 and 4 only to realize that all these films make only one alternate timeline and that the line Real is the 5th movie. I really enjoyed the 1st and the 2nd, 3rd and the 4th of felt a little jarring, and the fifth liked, but it was a mixture of disappointment and good taste (something like a guilty pleasure). Arnold, J.K Simmons and Lee Byung-hun save the essence of the film. Emilia Clarke does not so bad the role of Sarah Connor (Physically would have some resemblance to a teenager Linda Hamilton), but left things to be desired. and the rest, as half and fa.

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 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

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

Salvation will feel like a distant memory here as the darker post-apocalyptic feel has been traded in for a more modern-day action flick. While it has its moments of fun action, I couldn't help but feel like Genisys is trying too hard to be an Avengers movie that effortlessly channels moments of humor and cleverness into the potential end-of-the-world giant that is the story. On top of that, the seriousness rarely felt that serious. Partially because of the writing, partially because of the casting. Arnold is fine, but the casting choices for John Conner and Reese seem wrong in hind-sight. Neither quite fit into their role, making me wonder why the director and casting crew felt compelled to move forward with both. There are missed opportunities within the expanded story as well - the new face of Skynet offered such a fantastic opportunity to make Terminator more than just a bit of nostalgia. This could have been more on the level of Inception, but it isn't. Alas, Genisys is just another cog in the wheel that is a franchise that has really shown its age. Terminator 3 may stand as the weakest of the movies to some, but Genisys isn't all that much better (if at all). Should they find reason to make another one, they'll have a helluva lot of rubble to dig through to clear the name. Perhaps it would be better if they left it alone?… Expand

The magic of the time-traveling, sci-fi series isn't quite captured here as the story and changes to the timeline go under-explained. As a result,A sequel/reboot to the franchise that ultimately fails to capture the magic of the originals. The magic of the time-traveling, sci-fi series isn't quite captured here as the story and changes to the timeline go under-explained. As a result, the whole thing feels convoluted. At least the action is solid.

The story and characters are really the problem here. Unfortunately both of those elements have always been a big part of the series. When the story isn't making a mess of the timeline, it's hitting many all too familiar beats. The recreation of scenes from the first two movies early on are pretty cool to watch. These references add a nice bit of nostalgia to keep you going. The problem is that the movie doesn't borrow enough from it's predecessors, and too much from the average, generic action-flick.

Perhaps the whole thing would have been more interesting had the characters been better. Unfortunately series favorites have been reduced to generic character types played by subpar actors. Jai Courtney proves once again to be competent, but strangely unlikable. Same can be said for Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor. Schwarzenegger is the highlight. He's always stolen the show in these movies, but he's always been surrounded by a great cast as well. Outside of Jason Clarke that isn't so much the case here. He's the best actor onscreen, and he is unfortunately underutilized in favor of stale moments between Reese and the Connor's.

There are reasons to watch it though. On the action side of things it fares much better. Granted, it never reaches the heights of the original films, but there is a satisfying amount of explosions and gunfire. Enough to keep things watchable and at least mindlessly entertaining throughout it's runtime. Even with his age watching Arnold slamming through walls and clashing with other Terminators is a blast. The man is still the best action star out there in my opinion.

Had the overall conflict been better written and the cast been strong enough to back up the flashy action the movie could have been a worthy successor to the series. As it stands it's a flawed, but solid action film with a few good references to the originals and some entertaining action throughout. While it is far from another strong entry in the series, it is a solid action movie worth a watch for longtime fans of the series just to see what has to offer and what it means for the future of the series. For everyone else it's just a generic, but pretty entertaining action film worth a rental and a watch on a rainy day. It's just a shame it doesn't offer much more overall.… Expand

You have to go in with the right mind set. It is a popcorn flick, not designed to be the greatest movie ever made.

The action scenes were mixed in terms of quality. I did not care for the cartoonish nature of the helicopter chase. I know action movies breaks the laws of physics all the time, but I think G.I. Joe the cartoon had better helicopter physics.

The acting was very mixed. I wanted to like the new Sarah Conner, but she just did not pull off that bad ass charisma like Linda Hamilton did. Arnold did a fine job being Arnold. The actor doing John Carter's roll was very good.

The trailers did giveaway a chunk of the story twists, but there still maybe one surprise remaining. Sadly, most of the movie was predictable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would have liked this movie a lot better if they didn't turn John Connor into an evil person. Couldn't they come up with another villain and another angle on the story? For instance, seeing the same familiar story change completely because of one thing disrupting whatever happened in a previous movie, giving the same set of circumstances a completely different outcome the heroes have to overcome. I did like the operating system angle. That almost accomplished an interesting angle until John turned bad. So many other more interesting angles could have been used. But, as usual, the effects are great and the movie was entertaining, except for the bad John. Jason Clarke is excellent, but I want him to stay the hero. Our technology being the villain where people misuse it would have been a better focus. That would be very thought provoking because it could happen.… Expand

Something i never saw coming, the characters didnt fit their roles, they didnt ACTURATELY portray sarah connor or kyle reese, allow me to explain. In the original terminator, kyle reese was DEFINATLEY a soldier by the way he acted and spoke but the 2015 portrayal of kyle reese was so bad he seemed to be some ordinary joe trying to survive attacks from killer cyborgs. And sarah, i must say that linda hamilton did a great job of her portral of the mother of legendary soldier john connor, she truly set the standard for that character, thats why when i saw the new version of sarah connor and how they wrote her character, i was thouroghly disgusted! She wasnt strong, she was angry! She wasnt fierce, she was just a **** a TOTAL **** who acted more like an uppity feminist with a chip on her shoulder! Now the story/plot, its not bad but mainly confusing and for them to shuffle john connor off to the side as if he doesnt matter anymore and basiclly put kyle in the spotlight as he's now the future savior is just wrong to me!

Emilia Clarke is a good enough SarahI don't get it. The professional reviewers have rated this film quite unfavorably. But its not bad. Its no T2. Its no T1. But in my opinion its better than T3 and whatever that last one was called.
Emilia Clarke is a good enough Sarah Conner. She's given better performances before, and probably will again. I doubt she'll win an award for this role. But its good enough. Arnie is back. He may be incapable of doing most of the things his younger self did in previous films, but through movie magic he too plays his role good enough. He doesn't show his age quite so bad as Harrison Ford of late. The actor playing Kyle Reece is intended as kind of a blank slate, so that is done well.
The biggest failing of this film is that the story, and visuals have lost a lot of the grit. The CG is a bit too smooth at times, and the gravity of situations is often missing because of it. The bad guy wasn't quite real enough. With a good old T101, a blow to the head stunned, gunfire to the torso or head caused minor damage. It was clear what merited a "kill." This new guy though. At one point he was quite wrath like. Was anything they did having any affect on him at all?
Also. The school bus crash looked wrong. Though it was rendered like a bus, no bus would go flying like that. Not even with wires and rigging.
Overall, for me this ranks about an average action flick. Which is weak for a Terminator movie, but better than what we've been getting lately at least.… Expand

Directors tried to go to the coreOkay, now I've finally watched this long anticipated movie. What can I say - this is one more example why you should not resurrect old blockbusters - there is no place for old heroes in the world of today. Directors tried to go to the core concepts of Terminator 1 or 2, and, unfortunately, failed. Even "I'll be back" could not save the situation. To go deeper into time travels was a mistake - X-men did the same mistake - when you start to talk about time travel it is obvious that you are out of ideas. Remember this dramatic move when T-1000 fall down into liquid metal? Did you feel the shiver on your skin? Do you remember when Sarah Connor pushed the button and Terminator killed himself? Do you remember tears on your eyes? I believe you did. And what do we have here? Stupid death of main villain, T-800 even survived after falling in the same liquid metal (lol). To sum it up - compared to Terminator 2 this is complete failure, modern special effects obviously could not help it. But, honestly, I liked to see old Iron Arny again :)… Expand

Not the best terminator movie ever made, but it works for what it is. Great movie? no! but not a terrible movie either. I'd rather watch this than fantastic 4 crap

Its hard enough breathing fresh life into a dying franchise, but to an extent this film does it. Besides the generic script and soap opera acting and whining, Genisys brings another interesting comment on todays technology.
