Critics Consensus

Mired in its muddled mythology, Terminator: Genisys is a lurching retread that lacks the thematic depth, conceptual intelligence, or visual thrills that launched this once-mighty franchise.

Dhanu K

While packed with fan-service nods to the first two iconic entries, the narrative of Terminator: Genisys drowns in convoluted time-travel paradoxes, underdeveloped characters, and questionable execution. This ultimately feels like a disservice to the legacy of the franchise.

This film should be more on-point than ever, since technology has taken over our lives. But rather than actively antagonizing us, technology simply allows us easy ways to indulge in laziness and cruelty.

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

To watch Genisys is to see the franchise become a figurative embodiment of the Terminators themselves: convinced of its own superior vision of the future, it tramples upon the dusty skeletons of the forefathers it's slaughtered to achieve it.

The Terminator franchise has forgotten what made The Terminator and Terminator 2 so great.

Don Shanahan

Every Movie Has a Lesson

As flashy as it is with tremendous and eye-popping special effects, it has created an extremely convoluted mess of merged timelines and revisionist storytelling that treads all over what made the 1984 original and superior 1991 sequel so great.

Rated: 2/5

Keith & the Movies

A ‘Terminator’ film brings with it certain high expectations (from some audiences), and “Genisys” doesn’t meet them.
