When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance against Skynet, sends Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect his mother, Sarah (Emilia Clarke), from a Terminator assassin, an unexpected turn of events creates an altered timeline. Instead of a scared waitress, Sarah is a skilled fighter and has a Terminator guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger) by her side. Faced with unlikely allies and dangerous new enemies, Reese sets out on an unexpected new mission: reset the future.

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.

Sarah Marshall

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.

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.

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

I liked this one more than most (probably because i love the terminator movies in general), just wish it didn't get toned down.

Jai Courtney really doesn’t fit the role of Kyle Reese. Micheal Biehn really did a good job of acting like a tough solider from the far future, but Jai Courtney felt more weak and afraid soldier from the far past. The logic behind this movie is completely garbage, and I hope to never watch this again. There’s too much action and it doesn’t really feel like a Terminator movie but it feels more like a bad Star Trek movie. Again, I hope to never watch this movie again.

Filme legal, o roteiro é legalzinho, as cenas de ação são boas, a história é mais ou menos, desta vez eles mudam os fatos que aconteceu no primeiro filme e o filme tenta fazer com que o john connor não é mais o salvador, e ainda colocam o john connor como vilão, com tudo isso, esse filme eu não recomendo por que esse filme meio que destrói tudo o que o primeiro filme construíu.

CGI doesn't even hold up to Terminator 3 made 13 years before this. So considering Terminator 3s CGI didn't even hold up to Terminator 2's this movies is just laughably sad. Acting? Crappy. Dialogue? Crappy. It's just a poop fest. I'll even take Salvation over this. DEFINITELY Dark Fate over this as well.
