T:G is a hard movie to review. The acting is fine, the stunts are great, special effects good, and the story is decent. Of all these things, it's the story that breaks it more than anything. Not due to any inherent flaws, but mostly because of what isn't there.
T:G suffers from its lack of information- too many questions left unanswered. While I'd like to believe it's due to innocent reasons, it may be more due to filmmakers' greed. Much of this could have been alleviated by either allowing for a longer running time or simply having more focus. See, T:G attempts to rewrite the timeline of the movies, and in doing so, crams much of the rewriting of two excellent movies (ignoring T3 & T4) into one film. It gives us much of the highlights from these movies, but the eye for detail found in each film is bypassed in order to get to the next big set piece.
It's a shame they attempted to move so fast to (probably) get to Genisys 2 and their own story picking up after the rewrites to the mythos were done. Focusing on rewriting the original film only in this film, then rewriting T2 in Genisys 2 would have alleviated this rushed feeling, and allowed for their original take on what those changes meant for Genisys 3 might have been much better.
As is, we're left with a decent action film using the Terminator license with acting that's solid enough. I didn't necessarily agree with some of the casting choices (I'm looking at Kyle Reese & John Connor in particular) but, that doesn't mean they were bad in the roles- in fact, they surprised me at how well they portrayed the characters, despite my *PERSONAL* opinion that they didn't look or feel "right" to me.
Overall, T:G can be a fun ride, but those looking for it to fix the issues that began once James Cameron left the franchise (which was what Genisys attempted to do, even working with Cameron for time travel advice) are going to be disappointed. If you're a big Terminator fan, and have the 3rd & 4th installment in your library, there's no reason not to add T:G to the collection. It definitely surpasses most of T3, and all of T4, but if you're hoping to add this based on the premise of the film fixing things, you may want to just rent or watch it on cable. As an enjoyable action film with the Terminator license, it's a fun, stunt-filled ride that you could do much worse with.

I loved the first Terminator movies because I like the story, I am more about the story then I am if when and what and why. Yes as with any movie you can find flaws with this and that in the writing. But I am a fan of the series. I was disappointed in Terminator Salvation (2009) because it took away from the franchise and forgot it was a Terminator Movie. Genisys was pure Terminator adventure , that was what was important to me. I was sad to hear that Emila Clark would not be coming back in the next Terminator movie, cause she made a awesome Sarah Connor, if they bring back Sarah in the next movie, it's going to be hard to find a replacement like Clark.

This film is a superbly crafted Sci-Fi: Action/Thriller that is equipped with all the toys: Time Shifting, Androids and other interesting machines and bots were the attention getters, as-well-as the films superb cast who really “got-it” and both a Director and Cinematographer who knew what they were doing. The totality of their efforts results in a highly emotional story-line and an audience experience that is a ultra-memorable experience

Worth the watch, Arnold is great as always. Dont go in expecting it to be like T1 or T1. I enjoyed it far more than T3 for example. More or less it's own "stand alone" version.

This movie has received a bad rap from some trusted reviewers like Rotten Tomatoes, which I respect. I hemmed and hawed about buying it - would it suck and would I regret that I had wasted my money? The answer was No both times. If you like the Terminator series - I don't see how you can go wrong with Terminator Genesis. I felt moments of nostalgia, I laughed and at one point flinched like a little girl from a "scare" I hadn't anticipated. I actually enjoyed the ride. I had a nice evening. Shakespeare it ain't, but it was definitely worth the price of the download easily.

Not what I was expecting

Clearly just buy saying Arnold Schwarzenegger is doing another terminator, there is going to be some excitement and some nostalgia especial for a person like me that sat in the theater at a very young age watching an R rated movie. But truth be told, I have always wanted Sarah's nightmare to come to reality and see an all out war in the future, not a robot thinking he is human or terminator doing a high five, but true survival against the machine. So that is why it is not what I was expecting, still worth the purchase for the thrills and excitement factor and hopefully one day it will happen.

Different twist on a favorite action movie series

While the first two movies in this franchise are still the best, this movie is a 'mashup' of the previous movies but alters and weaves them into a new chapter in the series. The action is still there but there is also a new 'semi-comic' twist where things happen at different times, and different ways, than the originals. The story line is a bit weak in parts but the new timeline makes this movie fun and enjoyable.

The five stars are for the disc itself. The Blu-ray looked fantastic, and it sounded great. It comes with ultraviolet or iTunes. And got extra's like behind the scenes and how things are made, normal stuff.
Now as for the movie, a lot of people didn't like it. I'm not one of them. I think it has its faults, but I can overlook them because we saw a new way this universe unfolded.
I really enjoyed seeing some of the scenes from a different perspective, like Arnold meeting the first Terminator. I like this inventiveness in trying to keep the story fresh and still following the same basic premise of Skynet in this world.
So I guess what it comes down to is that if you enjoyed the movie, I think you'll enjoy the Blu-ray.

Best One Since "Judgement Day"

I liked the original in the series and really liked the second one "Judgement Day". The ones that followed were ok but did not really get me going in the same way. This new one is back to form, and not coincidentally it features the return of the man, aaah I mean, terminator Arnold! He plays his part perfectly, as do the other lead actors. Nice to see Emilia Clarke outside the her role on Game of Thrones. I saw the reviews that said there were gaps or flaws in the timeline-logic. Sorry dudes I fail to see that at all, and I am pretty detail orientated, to a fault if you ask my ex-wife...lol! Special effects is terrific and the story line leaves open the possibility of another. So, check it out!.

Could not believe the work put into this movie. The 1984 Arnold was amazing, technical masterpiece. I really am opposed to digital animation and enjoy very well done animatronics. 3D animation to me looks as fake as can be, but in this movie was well done and appropriate for most of the scenes. The direction could not have been more spot on and in line with the original two movies. This for all intensive purposes should be the third movie and the other two redacted from history as this blows them out of the water. Not to mention the fact that this movie is second only to T2 in theater sales. I was skeptical, you should not be.

This movie follows the original terminator movie's style because it has all the action you need with humor too. Jai Courtney has been a favorite of mine since Spartacus and Emilia Clarke is awesome as always. She does a good job filling some big shoes. The timeline in all the movies is off a bit, but somehow they still make it work. Now with this reboot of the original timeline they could take the story anywhere if they chose to continue the saga. Plus Arnold rules and always will!

Dont believe the bad reviews for this film. It's a fun entertaining action thrill ride that pays homage to the originals we all love. This is not to say the movie doesn't have its flaws, but it's well worth it regardless. This Blu-Ray is also a fantastic presentation with top notch video and sound. The picture is incredible with strong details and fantastic black levels. Audio is just as strong and really puts your system to the test :-) Highly recommended, for a fun movie night!

I have seen all the previous Terminator movies. My favorite is still the second one in the series (Terminator; Judgment Day). Having said that, this one is also very good. I saw it on the big screen and liked it a lot. The Blu Ray package with DVD and UV digital copy is really good. The video and audio are both great and acting is good too. I also liked the story. If you like Terminator movies, get this one too. You will like it. Recommended.

Unfairly Criticized Terminator Movie

Arnold is back in the best Terminator movie since Judgment Day. This movie got panned by critics but as a terminator fan, I gotta say that this is what I have been waiting for. There are issues with the film including Jai Courtney not knowing how to act and the timeline is so messed up to this point that they'll never be able to fix it, but I had a blast with this movie and really hope another sequel sees the light of day.

Blu Ray Version-Non 3D

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 am not sure why there were so many complaints about this movie when it came out. I understand it was a complete change to the timeline of the other films, but it worked and was fun to watch. The only reason I deducted a star was because it left some questions unanswered. Unless a sequel is 100% guaranteed to be made then close everything up. It is like a TV show being cancelled on a cliffhanger. Good or bad, give some closure.
