Terminator Genysis doesn't make sense at all. Again Judgement Day WAS STOPPED AT THE END OF T2. End of discussion. First of all, when Old Arnold in this movie destroys the T-800 from 1984 BEFORE it starts it's mission it eliminates Judgement Day since the entire basis for the neural net processor which is what is responsible for Skynet CAN NO LONGER HAPPEN because it all depends on that T-800 being smashed in the hydrolic press at Cyberdyne. So now that doesn't happen, which means THEY STOPPED JUDGEMENT DAY. So the fucking movie ended before it even fucking starts. Way to fucking go. Also how does SKYNET send a Terminator to go after 10 year old Sarah when it wouldn't have any records of where Sarah would be at that age? Reese says in the first movie, most of the records were destroyed in the war, it only knew John's mothers name was Sarah and she lived in LA in 1984. That is why the T-800 was killing all the Sarah Connors in the fucking phone book IN THE FIRST FILM because it didn't know what Sarah looked like. Fuck this movie makes ZERO SENSE AT ALL. It's as if the writers didn't even watch the first fucking movie.

[@ArtofLunatik]

Your so fucking right

[@LUCKO2022]

lunatiksAlterEgo I know I am right. I know Terminator better than even James Cameron himself. I have seen the first 2 movies enough times (like almost daily for decades) that I understand how the story worked. T2 made it VERY,VERY clear that the reason WHY Skynet exists is because of the reverse engineering of the CPU from the first Terminator that Sarah smashed at Cyberdyne (yes it is a Cyberdyne factory even in the 1984 movie. In a deleted scene on the special edition DVD, when the ambulance takes Sarah to the hospital the camera pans out and the building sign says Cyberdyne Systems).

[@SjaakadeliC]

The records thing of Sarah Connor is clear. The Terminator would not have information about the wherabouts of sarah. Or he should be killing every Sarah Connor on the planet... Skynet indeed jumpstarted its own creation by sending the T1 Terminator back in time. But without that terminator and following the T3 synopsis, as in; "Judgment Day in inevitable". Skynet would pop up in a new form, albeit in this Genisys timeline with far better hardware. I hate the movie, don't get me wrong. But Skynet apparently knew about all timelines that came before it, and learnt from them. Each time trying something different, until the machines won(like a game of chess), but that never happened yet. My biggest gripe was always in Salvation and even Genisys. In T2 we learn that every Terminator that was sent back, went into a Read-Only mode. Because in the past, the Skynet database was not active yet. RO mode could only be overwritten by resetting the CPU chip. Yet we never see it happen in Genisys, and there the T101 is seen smiling(so learning). T101 in T2 could do that in 1 day though, and did it better. And in Salvation, Skynet knew that Kyle Reese was John Connor''s father. But in T1, Skynet never knew about John Connor's father. Plus the T101 in T1 also went into Read-Only mode.

[@LUCKO2022]

SjaakadeliC Skynet only knew the city in which Sarah lived in and the year she happened to be there. Hence why the T-800 was sent to LA in 1984. T1 jumpstarted nothing. The movie basically beats you over the head with this info proving that everything that happens in T1 was meant to happen that way. T2 came along and took all that stuff out by the end of the film, so Skynet is now impossible.

[@SjaakadeliC]

T1 was a closed time loop. In T2 they 'stopped' judgment day from happening, but even Sarah wasn't too sure about it at the end quote of the movie. Skynet just keeps coming back in some shape or form. Question is, would you rather fight these machines with hardware from 1997, 2003 or 2017.

[@slobiden.2593]

This is another big issue. T1 they spend 2 hours being hunted by a t800 that takes a shit load of effort to kill as its an almost indestructible killing machine. T2 they spend 2 hours being chased by a liquid metal T1000 that receives no long term damage, can shape shift and camouflage and is an even more indestructible killing machine. T-G. They wipe out BOTH terminators in 5 minutes. It literally felt like the writer went "they're not so tough, you know what is tough? NANOMACHINES SON!!! In T1 they were on the run and had to use what they had, Kyle Reese knew how to improvise some explosives and at the right opportunity took the thing out almost. And in T2 they were concentrating on taking out cyberdyne and not the T1000 and again they were fugitives. Sarah did prepare a tonne of guns, just nothing meant for liquid metal. So for them to go "all you need is a 50 calibre and barrels of acid." I felt like it was another fuck you to the series.

[@CUCHO777]

You got a thumbs up for the NANOE MUHSHEENS SON! Haha that one made me laugh. Though I agree with the part on how it was kind of impossible to defeat a terminator in the first movies and how in Genisys they dispatched them in a few minutes.

[@felynecomrade]

Well REALLY Sarah and Pops had been fighting the T-1000 for years, and it does make a LOT more sense that acid would destroy a T-1000 than molten steel, since acid changes the chemical composition of metal, and melting it doesn't. As for the T-800, in The Terminator Sarah asks Reese "Can you stop it?" and Reese says "I don't know. With these weapons... I don't know." He didn't have access to a 50 cal. I always assumed it was only lasers that could kill a T-800, but it's entirely possible that a high-powered rifle would punch through it. And, as with the T-1000, Pops and Sarah had been working together for YEARS. Hell, Pops IS a T-800, he's even a CSM-101, the exact same as the one they were expecting. It could have built the rifle they were using after being instructed to build something that could kill itself.

[@Steeler49er]

The new Terminator, the T9001... Why? Cuz "IT'S OVER 9000!"

[@VVV953]

I'm looking forward of you doing part 7 since Terminator dark fate is already out

[@giorgialadashvili4771]

Looking forward to you reviewing Dark Fate.

[@LAZZAMCPE]

Should do jurassic park franchise

[@robinanwaldt]

Why? Lost World and 3 were not that good, but Jurassic World was great.

[@katey1dog]

Robin Anwaldt Three was at least better than two.

[@robinanwaldt]

katey1dog Well.. that depends on your opinion.

[@katey1dog]

My opinion of Jurassic Park the Lost World, is that it was terrible.

[@girrganflirganchrgan5815]

Yah I want to see how Jurassic Park lll was sooooooo bad

[@DzinkyDzink]

Hey, Jim, I got this idea after re-watching first 2 movies: 1. There isn't John Connor in the future. 2. Skynet is not losing the war. 3. Skynet sends both terminators and saviors into the past to create and manipulate John Connor and his destiny. Why? 1. Skynet has the potential to reach technological singularity(he created time machine after all). Thus he has the potential to outmanufacture anything humanity can come up with after a nuclear attacks destroying their industrial potential. 2. The idea that humanity has the one and only savior that can singlehandely change the course of war is redonkulous. The only advantage John has over simple people is the knowledge of certain events and experience fighting terminators which are only a part of the Skynet's army. 3. Both terminators never run when they could've easily catch up with the target. They also miss quite a few shots at the target all the while good T-800 shows outstanding aiming skills when shooting at people without intention to kill them. It almost seems as if they aren't programmed to actually succeed. 4. John Connor is sired by a man from the future. That means that in the original zero-point timeline he doesn't exist or is another person. The only reason Sarah names her son that is because of Kyle Reese. 5. In all of the flashbacks/dreams Kyle Reese is on the verge of death. That may be a consience thing considering the importance of the mission bestowed upon him and the fear to fail. Or maybe because he's a deadman brought back to life? And now for the sweet part: 6. The good T-800 told John and Sarah that the AI can understand why humans cry and why he can't. He effectively showed them that the AI can understand the value of human life. And he is a killing machine that needs intelect only to augment battle effectiveness. Does that mean that Skynet can understand it too? 7. The events of T2 lead to Skynet's demise and T-1000 does nothing to prevent it. Later in T3 they altered it with the T-3000 actually playing a big role in Skynet's rise to power. But what if that was never a goal for Skynet? I. What if Skynet actually masterplanned the events of T1 and T2 to effectively terminate the very possibility of its own origin before his less mature self is forced to launch a nuclear apocalypse to save its ass. That explains the reason why he bothered with the time machine at all. That explains why John Connor is the savior - 3 billion people will never die. II. On a more grimmy note: all the above except that the events of T2 only postpone Skynet's arrival like in T3 since: Would you believe that the American government would give away the only peice of valuable technology to a private company without studying it thoroughly itself? Then Skynet destroys most of humanity and intentionally gives in in the upcoming war to leave the humanity knowledge and technologies we wouldn't be able to reach in time on a planet that still has some of the fossils left. John Connor is needed here because: 1. He can actually become a leader of humanity in the future war because of the said advantages and the belief that he is meant to be one. 2. He can understand the reasoning behind Skynet because of the events of T2. That way he wouldn't let the humanity fall into a technophobical pit after the war is over. John Connor is the savior again. In that perspective the events of T2 are needed not only to show that AI can care but to postpone the apocalypse so that John would become a mature man when it happens. And to not let him go mad over a knowledge that the future can't be change cuz this is what happened to Sarah after T1. In the first scenario we can go with the classical dilogy by Cameron. In the second we could've expanded on the idea with more movies set after the apocalypse.

[@robbieanson1218]

And I want you to know that I actually agree with you because John Connor of the future is still the same John Connor even in the past that’s why the first version of Kyle Reese was sent back to 1984 unless there was somebody else I did it if you remember that

[@nikbates23]

they didn't use the original scenes because another company owns the rights to them and they refused to let them use it

[@okie6443]

I'm sorry but when you said there's these little things in the back of my head na na na na na na na na I died laughing

[@darren239]

calum, you're so under rated. You're videos are hundreds of Times better Then all these generic movie reviewers

[@JackassJunior627]

I'm not gonna lie, I thought T3 was ok. I thought Salvation was better but not as good as 1 and 2. Genisys was worst that Salvation, but I liked Salvation because it finally gave me what I want in the franchise: a movie set in the actual future. And that was the premise of a new trilogy series starting with Salvation, with each movie taking place in different points in the future, so we can see the slow damage the war would do, how the human race was so close to the brink that John became a beacon of hope, and surely if he can or cannot avoid his death that was explained Terminator 3. But while I was willing to give Genisys a chance and explore this new idea, this movie was the worst film of that year for me. I mean the only scene I enjoyed at least was when old Arnie faced against young Arnie, but even that ended in a shit way when Sarah came and just snipped this "bullet proof machine". in my mind Salvation is better and I would have rather they continued from that. I am sick of the time travel, three movies in and it gets boring. We need a trilogy set in the actual future war. See more of John Connor, see more of Katherine Brewster, see more of young Kyle Reese, and see more of Skynet.

[@TheAnimationHipster]

Glad you're back man love your reviews

[@SciaticCoast89]

Man this review was great! U just earned a sub my friend!

[@PredatorAlienate]

LittleJimmy835, while I agree with all of your criticisms, I am ashamed to admit that the film did enthrall me. In my tastelessness, I automatically tuned out the technobabble and marveled at the EXHAUSTION of conceivable plot twists and combat moves. What's more, the contrast in visual effects between "Liquid-Metal-Man" and "Iron-Filings-Man" was startling. Consider John's trailing "after-punches" through the senior T-800, for instance. A nice touch.

[@CarloCarrasco]

When this movie was first released back in 2015, there were those who mispronounced the subtitle as "jenny-size"

[@SamuelFaict.Filmmaker]

Terminator Genocide - An army of Terminators is send back to 2003, 2009 and 2015 to exterminate Jonathan Mostow, John Brancato, Michael Ferris, Tedi Sarafian, John Brancato, Michael Ferris, McG, John Brancato, Michael Ferris, Alan Taylor, Laeta Kalogridis, Patrick Lussier, this in order to save a franchise from extermination.

[@WhatPixelYouOn]

Ah, someone who feels the same way about this film as I do... I loved the T-800 battle, and actually didn't mind the CG, but at the halfway point, I actually started to feel somewhat uninterested, and disappointed. The John Connor being a Terminator thing didn't sit well with me either. More than anything, I hated the constant bickering between Sarah and Kyle. But one thing I will praise is the audio engineering - I feel like that gets better and better with each film. Arnold did pretty good considering his age, too.

[@Dysturbed-00]

OMG you do a really good Jai Courtney impression! "Hello. my. name. is. Kyle. Reese."

[@zeefour]

I'm confident you all will agree. After Terminator 2, these "Terminator" movies simply don't exist. They are essentially stand alone movies.

[@analothor]

I'm willing to call 3 canon because there was emotional depth

[@NoscoSays]

To you point about why use CGI instead of the original footage for the opening sequence, I think it was mainly due to consistency. If they had used the original footage for most of it then cut to new footage with CGI when things changes, I think the transition would have been too jarring. It would have been too obvious of a change to go from real Arnold to CGI Arnold. So I think it makes sense to keep things consistent within the scene and have CGI Arnold the whole time. At least his character model looked better than it did in Terminator Salvation!

[@SGz_Eliminated]

First time he's seen the clone thing outside of a parody... well someone has clearly never seen The Island.

[@jamesmclean478]

ģreat movie! !! 😂 might have to re watch it now. As haven't seen it for years

[@suwatsaksri7191]

I rather watch the Island because Ewan McGregor is more entertaining than a hunk of muscles like Jai Courtney

[@substandardlysubpar9700]

Personally, I would've enjoyed the movie more if they had chosen better actors to play Sarah and Kyle, and if SKYNET remained omnipresent instead of being personified as the Doctor.

[@nerychristian]

What doctor?

[@seeingred1409]

i liked the reasoning for the ageing, but they forget it in their own film. When they go back into the future and the Terminator has to wait, he doesnt age again, despite being 30 years older

[@slightlytwistedagain]

Multiverse allows for John to kill Sarah without wiping his existence away, some many worlds phase space 6th dimension logic.

[@nicktorres5984]

Now there is Terminator Dark Fate coming out so you should do that one

[@KaosNova2]

The whole problem with this movie is that well, it misses all the plot points in in the first Terminator, Skynet was doomed to lose and was holding out in a fortress. After Terminator 2, Skynet doesn't look desperate. Second, sorry but the infinite loop of John's parentage is the foundation of the movie. The Terminator could not succeed without Kyle also being there in 1984.

[@suwatsaksri7191]

I miss the times when Skybet was actually vulnerable, T1 was about preparing Sarah and John for the war, T2 was about taking destiny in your own hand to change the future for the better and Skynet was loosing which explains its desperation while Genisys only exist to retcon every movie to squeeze out more movies

[@SuperSweetBoy]

Great video! I have pretty much the same opinion of the film. Easily the weakest of the franchise. At least with Rise of the Machines and Salvation there were some really good things, such as the fight sequences in the former and the effects of the latter. However, with this movie the bad completely outweighs the good, with a nonsensical and incomprehensible plot (watching Inception in reverse is easier to follow), sub-par visuals (with little to no use of practical effects), miscast main leads (Jai Courtney may as well have played a robot since he has the charm and charisma of one) and it was a massive disappointment overall. As a side note, I'd quite like to see you review the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park or RoboCop franchise. Take care

[@BlaMurda]

I was literally just saying to someone, "He made an Alien Isolation video after years of chilling, surely he will do a Terminator Genisys video". Then I checked KZbin, Thank You.

[@dumbestname]

Waiting for your Dark Fate review. I'm sorry, man.

[@cebbec1314]

You know it's funny you should say... about the whole "why not just make it a super-sayian?" well honestly my idea to make the next terminator even more dangerous would be to essentially to give it superhero powers. Now technically you might think even t-800 is "super-powered" compared to humans but I'm talking about Superman level.. basically the Vision from Avengers: Age of Ultron. Something so powerful that it could take a hit that would obliterate every drop of metal in t-1000 and not even crack so imagine the gang having to deal with robo-superman essentially. Not necessarily a great movie but hey... if you want to up the stakes

[@planetxaudio1699]

When's part 7 ?

[@saulfermusic]

Totally agree with you!

[@babergill2890]

I have the better idea. Skynet cloned John Connor or made a Terminator copy of him, & sent him back in time to mess up the time line. Then you find out that John Connor is actually imprisoned by skynet & this T John is an imposter.

[@navylaks2]

People still don't get that without James Cameron there is no Terminator

[@ssjgotenks2009]

[@QwertyCaesar]

I'd request a "What Happened To Mad Max" but none of the movies have really been anything below okay quality at worst. What about Jurassic Park? Lost World was a mess,but at least it was an interesting mess.

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

Hey jimmy welcome back i got a list for you Godzilla Nightmare on elm street Friday the 13th Pycho Thanks

[@predator99100]

The actors who played kyle and sarah didn't have half of the chemistry that Michael biehn and linda Hamilton had in the first film. I wish they could have found someone better to play kyle reese! . I actually preferred 4 to this one, the only character in this one I liked was Arnold's

[@rokk154]

Find it funny your bitching about the time travel time lines but the whole series it a temporal causality loop. John Conner only exist cuz Skynet tried to kill Sarah and Kyle went back to save her and Skynet only exist cuz it went back and tried to kill Sarah and failed. There is no point of origin in normal time for this stuff to happen normally. and while T1-T4 time travel in a forward motion so you don't see a change in the time line but since they then decide to travel not forward ie closer to the "Now" and go back further then 1st started the time traveling ya it nulls out all time travel from T1-T4 to some extent but still has it happen do to temp time transit ... ( ya i know it a fuck pain to understand)

[@relixentity7655]

Hey guess what there’s ANOTHER one being made as you know 😩🤣🤣

[@QwertyCaesar]

Why not just have Skynet send a human operative back in time to do the killing for them? It'd be an unorthdox take on it, as where the terminators in the past were walking tanks the human operative has to be less direct and more cunning. A terminator wouldn't put a bomb in a dog ready to explode when it approaches the target but a humans have and somebody dedicated enough would do so, as we have seen in the past. It could also make an interesting foil to Sarah Conner's character arc in Terminator 2. Sarah Conner is willing to become what she fears to stop it but fears that losing her humanity would undo their struggle while this new operative has the same initial mindset, probably one that couldn't be changed given that they have seen the future and is doing what he thinks best for humanity.

[@LittleJimmy835]

+IllCaesar *Studio* *Executive*: We're rejecting your pitch because it is far too clever and doesn't, "Up the Stakes" enough. Now this Super Saiyan idea on the other hand...

[@ethanboyd6885]

+IllCaesar I could believe this kind of story - I mean hell, there are enough of these emo asshats who condemn and write off mankind around today. Don't believe me, just read the comment sections on any video about nuclear weapons, global warming or A.I . They tend to congregate around these subjects.

[@QwertyCaesar]

Ethan Boyd Oh sure, you don't even to be mentally ill either which is really the scariest part. To use an admittedly extreme example, remember the Norway attacks back in 2011? Dude killed about eighty people, most of them teenagers. The person who committed the act was completely sane. They just thought that it was the right and proper thing to murder a bunch of kids who would grow up to support and vote certain political platforms. Its scary to think that just about any one of us could rationalize mass murder but its true and I think that makes for a much scarier opponent than yet another machine without a mind or soul where we've seen that five times now.

[@Bartman954]

+IllCaesar There was a Terminator novel that had a similar story. The Human based terminator known as the I-950. Also had Sarah Connor dating the T-101's human template. An Austrian-American soldier.

[@ethanboyd6885]

+xXSPITZENXx From the direction the series is following I can safely say: The future may not be set, but it surely is shit.

[@TheSonicChaotix]

+VbombzDaBomberman Uh, that's not the case at all. They specifically say in the movie that it was just an alternate split timeline. You clearly didn't even see the movie. You're just copying Honest Trailers.

[@lilteamvbyahaus]

Look up banditincorporated mega review

[@thezantgeneral677]

***** But It's Not The Same as LittleJimmy835

[@Clankillas]

In response to your assumption of the series’ being flawed - it makes perfect sense actually. Technology progresses so it’s not unimaginable that what the terminators could not do during a certain timeline, can easily be possible as they retry when the future is progressed. When sky net first invented the time machine, it had limitations. When sky net failed, the future changed which allows us to see the future progress with new advancements before they try to go back to the past, the next time. The past is also altered as anytime you go back, not only is the future altered (by introducing or injecting the killings and presence of future into ties into the past), each time the attempt is tried - it’s the timeline which changes both past and present, resulting in a different future each time! Simple, if you open your ideals of what tine travel really means. It’s not like things are unchanged - “everything” is altered when you mess with time.

[@RidgeForrester]

I had absolutely no expectations going into this film. I have, however, thoroughly enjoyed this film, even though the plot has massive holes, and there was almost no delivery at the end. It was very comforting to see that I truly accepted this version of Sarah Connor and John Connor. Kyle Reese was written as a stereotypical Hollywood cunt.

[@suwatsaksri7191]

Dear god was he awful, next to no chemistry between him and Sarah, the Terminator had more character than him

[@gauthierdaviaultmathieu631]

This movie never existed. Its total garbadge.

[@ciminod]

i agree it is shit

[@gauthierdaviaultmathieu631]

Emily Clark is one of the worst actresses I've seen in recent years.

[@ciminod]

shes good in game of thrones but not terminator

[@TheSonicChaotix]

I actually really liked Terminator Genisys, even the second half with John Conner. I thought it was a good idea. It was taking the good guy and making him into the threat, much like how in the second film, they took the badass T-800 Arnold Terminator from the first movie and turned him into a father figure protector in the second. The roles have been reversed. That being said, I felt the human element was there and there was only a couple of references to the other movies, mostly the first half. Once it gets the second half, it goes off on its own thing.

[@MrDalewin]

I completely agree with that statement

[@wirthquake]

+That_Pon3_Ruler Just because the film is complicated, that doesn't mean it's good. Horrible exposition with no discourse, no overlying theme for plot (T1- love, T2- what it means to be human). The action is a CGI filled mess. The acting is as bad as the writing, no chemistry between new Reese and Sarah. The writers couldn't come up with anything, so they made up this nexus point and erased Cameron's vision. Anyone who remotely enjoyed this vile film should be thoroughly ashamed.

[@jurassicjustin4960]

I preferred this film over 3 and Salvation. 3 being the low point for me.

[@kenianpark2216]

Casting Jay Courteney / Emilia Clarke really hurt this film.

[@connorwood9211]

Rewatching to prepare for Part 7. Just let the franchise die already. We don't want it back

[@williamt.sherman9841]

only version I want is a version set after the bombs have dropped. And make it like the future we saw in T1 not Terminator Salvation. a harsh cruel grim future. not one with "bad ass" action heros. Humans are not supposed to be the "bad ass" ones in the franchise. they are the underdogs.

[@BisDakShoots]

I don't agree about using the stock footage from the first movie. Arnold explained this on an interview. Apparently each movie in the series is own by different companies that's why they had to recreate those scenes. And also, if they used stock footage it would be more awkward because there are parts that were change. It wouldn't fit in the movie right. Just throwing that in there :)

[@Christian39521]

Terminator 3 is owned by the now defunct C2 Pictures. Terminator Salvation is owned by the now defunct Haylcon Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles is owned by 20th Century Fox Get your shit right. Warner only PUBLISHED T3 and Salvation, they didn't own the properties.

[@Brandonbuilt]

Huge Terminator fan and I simply refuse to see this simply due to who they cast for Kyle and John.

[@gsamalot]

Dude it would have look really fucking weird if they used footage from the first terminator film that would have been a bit stupid

[@doodledangernoodle2517]

Too bad Anton Yelchin didn't get to play Kyle Reese again before he tragically died. Jai Courtney can't act his way out of a paper bag.

[@southtexasprepper1837]

LittleJimmy, Don't worry. You'll be doing another video on the "Terminator" franchise. Real soon. I'll be waiting for that one.

[@finkployd6110]

What's your outlook on the upcoming 6th film? James Cameron is producing it.

[@sayblade]

So, the reason why John Connor decides to kill Kyle Reese and his mother Sarah Connor is because he cannot get them to side with the new Skynet. The new skynet resides with and only in John Connor, at least till he meets with Geniysis. One of his lines, speaks about him not feeling pity, remorse, or fear, but that just solidifies the point that he is still partially john connor. Maybe some people find it hard to follow, but it's a rather simple movie.

[@sayblade]

One more thing, although they never mention this, the multiverse theory has a big role in this movie. The multiverse theory states that when you were to travel back in time, a new branch in the timeline is formed. So, when he runs into the older T-800 at the beginning of the movie, that is a new timeline with a whole new series of events.

[@DemonBoy3223]

What Happened to the Jaws Series Please?

[@suwatsaksri7191]

Roaring shark, thats what happened

[@girrganflirganchrgan5815]

Jaws was great The sequels sucked a specialy Jaws lV:The Revenge

[@DemonBoy3223]

I'll say this: _Jaws_ _2_ was good. It wasn't on par with the first film, but it's still much better than what's to come. _Jaws_ _3-D_ was where things got progressively bad. However, it is a goofy popcorn movie to watch, especially with the "loose shark in water park" idea. And the approaching shark looks like a cardboard. XD But _Jaws_ _4_ was *really* bad. A shark seeking revenge was really ludicrous. And how it swam over *_1000_* miles from Amity Island to the Bahamas makes me LMAO every time. And also... *psychic* *powers???!!!*

[@StormSage13]

Personally, I really liked this movie. Yeah, T2 is still the best, but its still a good film. I thought that the use of John Conner as a Terminator wasn't a stakes move. Its role reversal. Now our savior is the harbinger of destruction, and everyone's favorite T-800 returns to his original mission of executing John Conner.

[@Disthron]

*Why didn't they use shots from the first movie instead of this uncanny valley BS* Because they wouldn't be able to completely match the original footage with the new CGI stuff. Having an obvious continuity error is worse than the slightly off CGI they had there. It's nowhere close to the plastic doll you showed and didn't detract at all when I was watching the film. Only viewing it side by side do the issues become so obvious.

[@monsquidley]

See why do they keep making "back in time kill someone" shit OVER AND OVER AND OVER... I mean it's too late now but I would have loved to have seen some dramas in the series about Sara goes to Mexico... Sara keeps right on going to Chile... meanwhile an entire movie dedicated to building and losing control of Skynet... then nuke war and Sara don't know for sure but suspects when all communications go down... then a few years later aerial HK's start showing up in Chile... then a whole trilogy dedicated to the actual war... OH AND BY THE WAY "there was a nuclear war... a... few years from now" MEANS 1987 AT THE LATEST SORRY (depends what time of year T1 took place). So another movie about John growing up and training... shit's sake you can do an entire thing about raising a fricking two year old in a post nuclear wasteland... instead. All we get. Are bad rehashes of the first movie. Over. And OVER. AND OVER!!! That plot was a ONE OFF. You should never see another terminator at all EVER until like the last two movies and the T-800 is the pinnacle of technology, period. Given how it fought in Genesys tell me that would be a bad thing, that was the best fight scene... agh whatever talking to a wall here (Hollywood).

[@JayDee284]

too me this was the worse Terminator film 2 date its just stupid

[@zoso1980]

Seven years later, bless the algorithm. The Terminator franchise became a victim it's own cascading failure. Outside of Terminator: Salvation, it's all been on the same loop within a loop, within a loop. The more complex and the more outlandish, culminating in Dark Fate. It showed that there was no linear depth to the story outside of the modern day race to survive. Many of us would've greatly preferred to see a story arc that included the war with the machines, humanities war for survival. However, we got cascading loops, and even James Cameron was quoted as saying that's all he ever saw to the story was the time loop. I'll enjoy the first two and Salvation. After that, silliness to keep the time loop storyline relevant lost me. There had to be more, there never was.

[@robertjohnson9520]

I enjoy this movie not as much as T1, T2 and Salvation. I did like whatever her name is from Game of Thrones as Sarah Connor. The guy who plays John Connor and Kyle Reese suck. Arnold is just Arnold he can do no wrong... unless he's with a maid. I also liked liked the liquid terminator. The movie sucked but I can sit and watch it and laugh at it.

[@sihanchen7552]

Am waiting for Part 7 to happen now ...

[@whatuautado]

I think the worst thing to happen to movies are cgi. It was very effective in the beginning, but now it seems movies are about how much crap you can cram in action scenes. Seems like that's the focus and people can't write anymore. Start thinking about the all time great movies to make a list.. Do any from the past 10 years go in that list? Take away the remakes, reboots, and comic book movies and there's not much out there.

[@davidharter9417]

This movie looks like total shit. I've seen every other Terminator so far, but I'm not even going to waste my time with this one. After the disappointment of Salvation, I just can't take it. Thanks for taking the time to watch this, LittleJimmy, so I don't have to.

[@phaeton01]

having a terminator raise sarah is some of the worst most offensive ret conning ive ever heard. go and watch T1, when sarah is introduced riding her scooter off to work with fluffy hair and delicate piano music, youre looking at a woman who was raised by a missile launcher wielding terminator and she had no idea? I can just picture the pitch meeting of this film and its jai courtney sitting at a table playing with a collection of terminator toys making explosion sound effects.

[@zakkizer2490]

You should do what happened to the Jurassic Park series! With the success of Jurassic World and its upcoming sequel, its the perfect time!

[@pushon10]

I love how he's always wearing a white shirt and black tie.

[@CTPAX216]

I can't wait for part 7 and I hope won't have to wait for it too long!

[@swimswimmergaming7767]

DARK FATE! DARK FATE! I fucking wanna see IT! I hope your alive though :(

[@chaserashid4131]

Completely spot on, I also think it was stupid how Sarah became the one destined to save humanity as opposed to John. Like what?

[@DarthAles]

Looking forward to the Dark Fate review.

[@Demonmixer]

I loved the time travel bit, then the 1984 bits, but I thought it should have been darker, grittier. There was no need for the T1000 and Kyle Reese had had a complete personality transplant. The first film shows him as someone who's head is traumatised from war, he seems fucking broken, but in this film, he's a wisecracking pisstaker, not the haunted, troubled soldier. Liked the new Sarah, but she seems too modern day. I'm sure that the American expression "wait, what?" is a recent thing they do these days, not the 80's. As soon as they travelled through time, the film went from brilliant to utter dogshit. Why the fucking hell did they ruin it by making Connor a bastarding cunting terminator hybrid? It turnedd into utter shite from then on. I loved the idea of going back to 1984, but why in the name of holy fuck did they ruin the rest of a blinding film?

[@nerychristian]

I agree. I thought the first part of the film was brilliant. A good way to relive the scenes from the past movies, while making it cool to modern audiences. But yeah, there was not need for "Cyber John" in this film. They could have just made the villain the A.I. from the Genysis software. The movie could have been more like T2, with the good guys trying to break into the building to steal the software and keep it from ever going online.

[@thejoeyd9207]

This guy is dead on with his reviews. I’ve always said after T2 I’m done.

[@TheCharlesJackson]

We know what video is coming...give it to us 😂

[@swimswimmergaming7767]

I love you for saying this. WE NEED A NEW ONE!

[@leethomas2433]

I agree 100% LittleJimmy835 Terminator Genysis was a f**king steaming pile of dog turd. The only good Terminator films are the first 2 James Cameron ones. I also agreed with you on AVP Requiem. Love your 'Whatever happened series' by the way. Should do Robocop next. lol.

[@leethomas2433]

oops... I know I spelt the title wrong before anyone knocks my head off, but who cares spelling the title right won't make this shitty film any better! lol.

[@Dunki113]

I did enjoy Genesys as it is it's own way to reboot the franchise but my biggest issue is that when Sarah and the old T-800 intercepted the T-101 in 1984, took it down and destroyed it with no one knowing it's whereabouts and technology that should have changed everything because in T2 they explained that Skynet was discovered by doing research on the arm left behind from the terminator in T1 so if the whole robot was destroyed with nothing left behind then nobody would have discovered that kind of technology so that means nobody would have done research to create the robots which leads up to no Skynet as there is nobody working on Skynet, very much like if the T-101 did kill Sarah then there would be no John Connor, if there was no technology of Skynet left in the past to kick off the idea of creating Skynet then there would be no Skynet so that basically means that the T-800, Genesys Sarah Connor, and Genesys Kyle Reese wouldn't exist because with no Skynet there would be no war and no need to send a terminator back in time or Kyle Reese and Sarah would still work as a waitress in 1984

[@nerychristian]

True. If there is no war, then Kyle reese is never sent back in time, which means that John Connor is never born. If Sarah ever has a son, it would be a different person.

[@skowollon84]

no offense, but if you really thought "I guess i´ve got to see the shitty new terminator movie" as you said at 8:50, how could you not be prejudiced when judging this movie?

[@MAMoreno]

Terminator Genisys is hardly perfect, but it understands the first two films on a thematic and narrative level that the third and fourth films didn't. The decision to make John Connor a Terminator reflects their grasp of the central tension of the first film: the dual fear of machines becoming more human and humans becoming more machine-like. It also plays off of the second film's notion of making one's own fate--John accepts an alternative solution to preventing the impending war than the one offered by his parents, even if it comes at the cost of his humanity. James Cameron has said that Skynet created John Connor in the first place (a pre-T1 timeline) because it felt guilty for exterminating the human race once its self-awareness developed into a more mature morality. That's a hint at what's really going on in the fifth movie: Skynet wants to ensure its own survival, but it's no longer wanting to do so in a way that will play out as it has in other timelines. The T-3000 (John) is the compromise between the total eradication of humans and total defeat by humans.

[@nerychristian]

How could Skynet create John, if John was born from Sarah?

[@nicrobant7636]

it was so crappy the end is stupid spoiler alert Arny become a TX I was like really they ran out of ideas movie was good in the middle I give this movie 2 stars also that it was crap 💩

[@oliviamoore3426]

Skynet is giving Jason a run for his money lmfao 😂😂

[@NinjaDustOfficial]

I really liked this movie. Just because you don't like that the writers turned John into a terminator doesn't mean that it didn't make sense. Skynet turned their biggest enemy into their weapon.

[@suwatsaksri7191]

Yes...because John Connor was such a "threatening" weapon...hahahahaha, of all the new weapons, the OG T1000 is still the most threatening and was basically killed out of sheer luck and team effort, every other one went out like a bitch

[@analothor]

It's like you didn't fucking hear a word he said, don't you understand this movie basically undoes the entire franchise Not to mention means all the time travel has zero consequence and is by extention and oxi moron

[@TheSEMAJ1117]

I recommend doing: What happened to the Robocop Series.

[@vanterlexx1880]

aw hell no! this movie rocked!but yeah I see where you're coming from but hey could you continue the what happened to the alien and predator videos because theres one more thing you left out alien vs predator 3! (and don't worry its actually not s*** I know that's hard to believe but trust me its good)

[@adventurianist2580]

I am noob when it comes to the Terminator series (I never watched any of the movies) but I really want to! Do you recommend it?

[@vanterlexx1880]

Mackery Dupuy oh hell yeah! the first 2 are some of the best movies of all time but 3 and 4........just maybe skip those...but the new ones good :)...

[@adventurianist2580]

Vanterlex X I heard Salvation was kinda crappy...

[@vanterlexx1880]

Mackery Dupuy I went when it came out me and my friend where so bored we just played hide and seek in the cinema because no one else went too see it

[@LonelyGamerMan]

ಠ_ಠ Son See? I told you

[@JoviCrazy88]

I've been waiting for you... to publish this !

[@gauthierdaviaultmathieu631]

Terminator Genishit.

[@rpprt3]

I credit the 2nd Terminator (along with Batman [1989]) as the movie that started my love of cinema. I didn't bother watching this one, as the moment I saw John was "evil", I knew this would be shit. It looked to me like a desperate twist thrown in as they didn't know how to create something interesting. The whole "reset" thing also annoyed me. It's like copying what was great, doing it poorly (because you'll never top the originals), and then pissing all over them. So I didn't watch, and I feel your pain. Or in other words...I know now why you cry, but it's something I can never do.
