Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a total Terminator fan since the beginning, I was swept away by the timeline jump. Not due to such things being standard fare for the series in general, but because of the continuous change that brought back numerous Terminators according to technical advancements. The story, albeit harder to follow than the predecessor's, was tight in it's own right > minus the one flaw being that of the T-1000's clunkiness. However, I saw it in the theater & deemed it good enough to purchase for my collection.

It considered this movie to be the best terminator movie out of the franchise it had a unique story to it that I loved very much one of this years best!

**** I enjoyed every moment of the movie it was a rollercoaster ride.

Excellent Movie good picture good action excellent price I would recommend for everyone

While Terminator Genisys isn’t the best in the Terminator franchise it’s a great call back to the original movie and yet brings something new to the table. Arnold Schwarzenegger as always is great at being the iconic T-800. If you’re new to the series I definitely recommend as it tells the story of the original movie and brings its own story to the table.

I am a BIG Fan of the "Terminator" Saga and I was surprised that this movie actually existed, probably due to some bad reviews from critics and moviegoers as well. I've been watching all the T movies recently to be ready for "T: Dark Fate" and in my recent visit to BB found this gem for a great, great price so, I got it! my T collection is complete (for now). I really enjoyed the movie, the time jump twists and the reset of the Future are great adding that "what if..." moment that we all wonder ourselves over events in history. Anyway, if you are a "Terminator" fan, there's no reason why "T: Genisys" shouldn't be in your library.

The story line is interesting. The conversion of good to bad due to time travel where one can alter the future is depicted in this movie. The mother and son relationship is never realized in this movie. Other than that, the action is very good. Picture quality of the blu ray is very good and the sound is excellent. I would wnt to see the UHD version to see what the improvement above and beyond this 1080p version that is upscaled to 4K..

I honestly expected more from this installment but it was overall a great movie with awesome action

I am a huge fan of the Terminator especially the second one. It says it on the cover and I have to agree. Best one since the 2nd one!

this is a good entertaining movie. it is neat how you see the terminator get older.

Its a good movie. Good terminator action. Plus Emilia Clark is hot!!

Terminator Genesis it’s probably my favorite of all the first was good but I think this one is better

Movie has lots of action/special affects, great plot

It's great to have both Arnold and Emliia Clarke on the Terminator saga. I wanted to know how they fit Emilia Clarke characters storyline, since I know she played her role very nicely in the hit HBO's tv show: Game of Thrones. As the new role as Sarah Connor, it's a interesting take as Arnold as the guardian for Sarah Connor for this storyline; glad to have Arnold back. I don't want to put too many spoilers for other readers, but you do get to see the future battles we all awaited for a long time. I'd wanted to own this copy after liking on how it played out at watching in theaters. Overall, most people are familiar with T2's Sarah Connor, so it will be kind of hard to get used to see another person playing this role; not an easy to play. So relax and enjoy the movie, I recommend it on Blu-ray for excellent picture and D quality :)

I'm a big Terminator fan and was excited to see Schwarzenegger back in the lineup. Despite toning it down to PG-13, it was a pretty good movie. I liked the way they tied it to the originals without having to stick to their storylines absolutely.

Summer of 2015 lead off with Avengers: Age of Ultron and didn't stop there, releasing some awesome films including Ant-Man, Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation, Inside Out and many others. Although these movies are awesome and I love the ones listed, there was one that I really enjoy but many people pegged as one of the worst of that summer and even of 2015. I didn't particularly like Jurassic World although it was one of the biggest films of all time, Minions was mindless (But became one of the highest grossing films as well) and truly the worst film was Fant4stic for that summer. Terminator: Genisys is one if the more misunderstood films from 2015 and of the Terminator films that is sadly ranked amongst the worst. Fortunately, it is a good movie that deserves a second chance. The movie follows Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) who is sent back to 1984 to stop the T-800 from killing Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke), mother of John (Jason Clarke), the future leader of the Resistance. So it's pretty much the first film, at least at first, but while Reese is being sent through time, the personification of SkyNet (Matt Smith, of Dr. Who fame) kills John (or so we think). Meanwhile in 1984, things follow the same bits of The Terminator, but with the killing of John, the timeline changed, with Sarah and a Terminator called Pops (Arnold Schwarzenegger), this time prepared to kill the 1984 Terminator and find Reese. Following an attack by a T-1000 in 1984 (Byung-hun Lee) and learning of a new Skynet OS called "Genisys", the duo travel to the future to prevent Judgment Day and face a familiar face. I know the story is incredibly sophisticated and many people complained about the story being hard to follow, and it kind of is, truthfully. But, it is easier to follow as it comes along, but what's harder to swallow is some of the iffy casting. Schwarzenegger is back, and probably gives his best Terminator performance here, with the usual one-liners standing by, but it's also filled with the aging of the cyborg, that is having issues as time goes by, but also became more human in the process, as Cameron laid it out in His previous films that it has a learning computer to infiltrate more efficiently to humans. The trio of Reese, Sarah and John though, are miscast. All 3 are too focused on hiding their accents (Courtney is Aussie, the Clarkes English) to give engaging performances for the most part. Lee is a good T-1000, but the character didn't even need to be included, like at all. Other performances are decent overall, with J.K. Simmons being a standout as O'Brien. The screenplay is a tad overcomplicated, and it's uses of humor kind of fall flat, but still delivers a decent story overall. The direction by Alan Taylor does deliver the goods, with action scenes looking great, keeping the pace lively and manages to retain the visual sense Cameron laid out in his previous efforts. All in all, it is a fun movie with great effects and action scenes, but still can't beat the first 2 but handily defeats its 2 predecessors. On the Blu-ray we get a terrific 2.35 3D image, which has loads of depth to the film, along with some great use of pop-out moments. Probably one of the best conversions ever and a must own for 3D enthusiasts. The Dolby Atmos track is of reference quality and will unsettle your foundation, it's that good. The extras, though, disappoint. Although the film only broke even at the box office, I was still saddened at the lack of extras with the core 3D bluray. The film only has 3 featurette, all running about 55 minutes in length but there is still some good BTS stuff and nice looks into the many CGI effects, plot, characters and more. Sad we couldn't get a commentary, but it works for the most part but i suggest either grabbing the Best Buy exclusive or the 4K bluray, which both come with a bonus Bluray with over 90 minutes of material. All in all, a fun film that will satisfy the 3D and sound enthusiast but not many Terminator fans.

I actually wasn't expecting much from this one but was surprised as to how much I enjoyed it. Very imaginative. A fresh new take on a classic story. Great action flick!

Love this movie a great deal at the store love watch it with the family

This movie is great I love it and will watch it over and over again

A job well done, bringing a fresh spin to the story. Arnold still has it, and carries off his role with class. Its action packed with and great story line, and highly entertaining.
