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.

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.

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.

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.

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

This movie tells the tale of two Terminators; a film that starts out promising and an utterly incoherent train wreck in the second half. Genisys is another failed attempt to return the Terminator series to form.

The hate this terminator movie gets in my opinion is ridiculious. I feel like people jump on the hate train for things to easily. Its not the best terminator movie buy any stretch of the imagination but certainly not the worst...i think this movie is better than terminator 3 and dark fate. I havent seen salvation yet so cant say on that movie. If you enjoy the terminator franchise I say this movie is a fun time. It did something new and slightly different and I cant take away from that. I liked the woman playing a young Sarah Conner, Arnold was good and doing his thing as usual. I feel there were some miscasting of Kyle Reese but his version has grown on me. Ive watched this movie multiple times and havent grown tired of it yet 😅. I wish we could have gotten another movie to this AU of terminator 😞 or at least a spin of series. I think it eould have been nice to see.

Everything just wants to be funny these. The forced jokes really did it for me. The storyline I do enjoy however.

Of all Terminator Films this one was not very exciting, it felt kinda weak in its action, and pacing had a struggle also it kinda bugs me seeing how in the scene of Pops vs the 1984 T800 from T1 how easy they made it seem to kill a Terminator when in the first film it took a Propane Truck, 2 Pipe Bombs and a Hydraulic Press while this, one bullet did it all, also I wish Robert Patrick was able to play as the T1000, shame he wasn't in this one

It’s always nice to see a classic Arnold. Emilia Clarke was a perfect casting for a younger look alike of Sarah Conner. The plot and story definitely could’ve been better…
