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.

I think that "Terminator: Genisys" was one of the greatest films in the entire "Terminator" film series and it was also one of my favorite "Terminator" films. This film had a lot of entertaining and enjoyable action, mystery and suspense including a really great and amazing cast, plot and storyline as well.

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.

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.

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.

If you're a fan of the original Terminator, you have to see this one. There are many scenes directly from the original with a twist of course. Story moves along nicely, great action and Arnold is back. What's not to like?!

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.

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!

I was really skeptical about this movie but I ended up surprised as to how good it was. It really put a new twist on the franchise. Made up for that T3 abomination.
