Customer Ratings & Reviews

Enjoyed the ending to the Terminator series. So glad they brought Arnel back.

The transition from watching the first and second Terminator movies to watching the third movie was pretty much a let down. Watching the fourth movie gradually made my interest go up as the movie was better than the third. However, the latest movie, Terminator: Genisys, was just as good and exciting to watch as how good and exciting the first and second movies were.

Fast paced and full of surprises! Good special effects and good movie plot.

Lot of action thia is very sensitive but very good movie will watch again

Terminator Genisys is a such a great movie experience that does great fan service to the original films. It has a twisted storyline that is almost like a what if, on the first 2 films in the series. I agree with everyone else that the film pales in comparison to Terminator 1 and 2. Its insane to think that todays CGI laden movie industry will compare to the magnificent storylines, acting, practical effects and props of yore. These are the times we live in, for better or for worst. Terminator Genisys also could of done with less humor and should have chosen a better actress to depict the iconic Sarah Cornor. However, what this movie does excel in, is that its a big budget spectacle and deserves a place in every scify movie collection. Hopefully if most Terminator fans turn out to purchase the movie they can continue on with the proposed trilogy, which is unfortunately in doubt. Come on guys we need Arnie to make his trademark Terminator flicks, before my generations ICON is no longer physically able!!!

This movie carries you seamlessly into The story Great special effects

This was a great movie; full of suspense and action. I I enjoyed watching this movie, from start to finish

Bought as a Christmas present. Can’t wait to open and watch it

The Terminator:Genisys DVD was on sale in the $3.99 sale bin so how can you go wrong for that price?

Not a bed story great effects storyline was interesting

The recurring Terminator tale of trying to save John Connor to lead a future resistance takes a fresh and unexpected turn. The actors playing John Connor and Sarah Connor are ok. It is great to see Arnold in his old-but-renewed role. The effects are excellent.

Just your typical I good Arnold Schwarzenegger movie

Better than the last with lots of action. Good movie.

The whole family enjoyed this movie. We don't watch this type of movie to critique the storyline, but it was entertaining and flowed well. I especially appreciated the humor interjected throughout the movie. Arnie was funny and not disappointing!

Good movie my son enjoyed watching with his dad. Classic for both of them to enjoy together

Great movie I would recommend to everyone who would ask

With audiences growing far more wary of, and sometimes downright venomous towards remakes, studios have been searching for new ways to reinvigorate recognizable brands. The answer has been something comic book fans have been all too familiar with for some time: the retcon. Or put another way, the reimagining. You don't have to totally start over, just ignore or delete enough stuff to basically start from a difference place. It's a tricky thing to pull off without alienating your entire fan base. X-Men: Days of Future Past managed to use alternate timelines to build an entirely new history for its heroic mutants. But what about something like James Cameron's Terminator; a cold metal sci-fi classic that basically forged our understanding of time travel in modern genre movies? Terminator Genisys, the fifth movie in the vaunted franchise, attempts to embrace and completely devastate everything we know and love about James Cameron's time-bending story, and as one might expect the results are a bit scattershot. Rest assured Terminator Genisys is a heck of lot better than the maligned Terminator Salvation, and a fair bit more like a true Cameron Terminator movie. Despite the narrative pretzel it twists into, the film has all of the recognizable nuts and bolts, literally in the case of Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800, who was notably absent from 'Salvation' except for a lousy CGI version. This time around the hard-to-kill cyborg is considered a "guardian" rather than a terminator, sent back in time to protect the life of Sarah Connor, played now by Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke, sporting her "Mother of Dragons" attitude. So how does something like that work? The story begins as we expect. Future rebel badass John Connor (Jason Clarke) leads a human resistance against Skynet and its army of killer machines. When Skynet realizes it will lose, it sends a terminator to 1984 to kill Sarah while she's weak. So John calls upon his pal Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) to go back in time to protect Sarah from harm. Oh, and let's not forget that John also needs his buddy to sleep with his mom so he can be born in the first place. Don't forget that little detail; it makes for some awkward sitcom shenanigans later on. Things take a turn when Kyle arrives in 1984 only to discover that Sarah doesn't really need his help. She's already one tough soldier; she's gone full-blown Linda Hamilton (minus the biceps) and has been protected by the Arnold T-800 since she was a child, nicknaming him "Pops". How? Why? And is that wrinkled skin and graying hair on the Terminator? What? The explanations are convoluted, bog down the story, and frankly are a little ridiculous, but fortunately this film doesn't slow down enough for you to analyze whether it makes sense. There's always a new Terminator to fight (there are a few, including one that has been spoiled by desperate marketing), a new bus to flip, another helicopter chase through the city, and the CGI-heavy action looks great courtesy of director Alan Taylor. He keeps the pace moving faster than a T-1000 can shapeshift forms; those who simply want to watch robots fight and stuff get blown up will leave very happy. Not to say he's quite on Cameron's level when it comes to blending digital and real-world effects but the film looks impressive. In what must feel like the tagline for Schwarzenegger's latter career, the T-800 constantly asserts, “I am old, not obsolete." At 25 years, Cameron's Terminator is an "old" franchise no matter how many times they try to revive it. But Terminator Genisys, despite it not always making a ton of sense, is still the best and most relevant Terminator film since 'Judgement Day', and that means it will never be considered obsolete. Die hards I will recommend this to casual fans however not so much.

Like Cameron himself, I agree that Termiantor Genisys is the best film the franchise since his iconic 1991 sequel. I went in to the theater to see this with completely no expectations - the reviews were abysmal, the trailers were poor, and the TV spots did it no justice. To top it all off, this was going to be PG-13. I'm glad I went in thinking this was going to be a stinker -- because it easily became one of my favorite movies of the year. It surprised me at most turns, and Arnold truly is back in a vengeance in this. Don't let the rating fool you - there's plenty of violence, along with some good laughs and great nods to the first and second films. I think the time travel aspect was handled relatively well, and other than the miscast of Jason Clarke as John Connor (to me he is totally unbelievable as the leader of The Resistance), this movie hits its stride right from the beginning. The Best Buy Exclusive version of the Blu-ray offers a bonus disc (which is a BD - NOT a DVD - so thumbs up) with even more special features. If you're a fan of the franchise, this is the version to get. Highly recommended.

loved the film a must watch for sure and own it!!!

Got this one on special deal. Never saw movie before but it was well worth the money.
