Benchmark production/fx like T2 and Matrix set new standards that others leaned on and pimped to death. Now there are movies with 86% green screen and "bullet time" cos "nostalgia".

But on seeing it in cinema - AMAZING!! But that was enough - UTTER TRASH since then, raping Arnie's corpse etc etc etc; sad.

The protag return to his hometown only to find out it is being attacked by a mysterious monster and his father reveals it has been happening for generations in the town. The monster always came around the same season, there is always a doctor who refused to believe the monster is real, there is always a girl to save and fall in love with, someone from their family lineage always has to defeat the monster, and the problem is no one else ever remembers the attacks or death ever happening once the monster is defeated.

You know what would’ve been a big and risky twist to the series, if to the point where Sarah gives birth to Reese’s baby, rather then it coming out a boy it be girl instead because a gender is always a 50/50 chance and with how many times travel has been used instead of heads it lands on tails this time on Johns gender. This would change the series greatly forcing the timeline to change and raise many questions with the characters and how they react to the massive change. It could’ve worked in a new storyline, rather then forcing in girl protagonist like what they did in dark fate, the girl John Connor is in more natural and the future is now a complete mystery because Sarah can raise her as much like John as she wants, but no matter what this new kid can’t be John Connor no matter because of her biology.

Most ppl see terminator as strictly an action franchise but thats where T1 stands apart imo. i look at T1 as almost a uniquely awesome slasher/horror flick. T2 is where the action gets turned up to 11 & is easily one of the best action films of all time. I'd say theyre actually very similar to Alien/Aliens in this regard. Besides the incredible quality of the first two films in the franchise - i'll admit that i like certain things about Salvation & i feel it was kind of a missed opportunity. It seems like Salvation had a good addition to the saga in there somewhere, it just didnt come out right. Outside of that, i dont think the rest of the sequels offer anything of value to the fans(maybe a few cheap thrills but thats it). It all just seems so recycled. Tbh - i've never seen the Sarah Connor Chronicles so i cant judge the show. i think if they're going to keep on pumping out these sh*tty terminator movies, than just embrace the cheese factor. How about some mashups? Gimme: Terminator vs RoboCop Terminator vs Predator Terminator vs Aliens

[@WhiteRhinoPSO]

I agree with you on what you say about the opening to Terminator: Genisys. They really should have just played things as a simple reboot, and then bit-by-bit revealed how things were different this time around. Instead, I'm sure that someone had the bright idea that they need to be inclusive for people that are new to the franchise, which means a 20 minute opening scene that painstakingly explains everything that those viewers need to know - you know, the information that people learned through watching the movie when they explained it much better during the original The Terminator film. One movie that does the "is it a reboot?" subterfuge is The Thing (2011). At first you think it might be a sequel, but then it keeps treating things as new. When you start thinking it's just a reboot, suddenly it's doing things differently, setting up moments that reveal it to have been a prequel all along. It's not the best movie, but I respect it for trying something different by keeping movie goers in the dark for so long. I'd much rather learn things myself by watching the film than sit through a 20 minute primer. Imagine if any of the Alien films started off with a Resident Evil movie-style narration of the entire backstory?

[@THExRISER]

8:50 I...did like that whole backstory section, that part of the movie was basically the Terminator movie I always wanted, essentially Salvation but with actual large scale battles and more than 3 terminators throughout the whole movie... There's also the fact that I watched it with a friend that knows almost nothing about the franchise and the whole recap helped me explain to him the entirety of the timeline so far, but that's not the reason I liked it.

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

It sounds like Genisys' plot would need more screentime time to be shown properly. Like, it would've been better split into multiple movies, or else something like a book series or tv show. That way you can create a stronger overarching plot that can give the multiple resets in the overall story the time to be fleshed out properly. Like, make the first part of Genisys' story set in the 80's a whole movie by itself and have it end with preparing to jump into the future, which would then be a sequel. I mean, one the biggest problem with Genisys IMO is that it feels like two or three movies squeezed into the runtime of one.

[@flatebo1]

Genisys was planed to be the first in a trilogy. So that “overloaded and undercooked” feeling may have been resolved if they had made the intended sequels. Or they might have screwed the whole thing up even worse a la Last Jedi. But they did seem to set up a bunch of stuff that never resolved, like who sent Pops into the 1970s and why, because they were going to deal with resolving all of that later.

Dark Fate was an insult to T2. It should be erased from the canon story of Terminator.

It is then up to the individual to decide whether or not they still like it despite its flaws. Like for toy story 4, I really like that movie but many people hate it because of its flaws. Once I learned it’s flaws, I decided that I still like it. It’s up to each person to decide if they still like the movie. I used to like the transformers movies but they get so dumb and boring that I don’t like them as much anymore although I still enjoy some scenes from them. So Filmento isn’t controlling anyone.

[@Cloperella]

Genisys is the movie that I will defend to a point... a very short, brief point. Its initial concept is neat, where it's basically gone through the entire circle of events and reached its own tail again (Sarah and Reese conceive John, Sarah protects John, John grows up and becomes the leader of the resistance, Skynet sends a terminator back in time). The loop is essentially complete now. So wouldn't it be cool to have Skynet aware of how many times its messed up with this plan, and now REALLY go for some bonkers time travel tomfoolery? I was expecting some Back to the Future II types of shenanigans, more stuff like reenacting the "nice night for a walk" scene. Would have loved to see one or two other scenes from T1 revisted with the new cast skulking in the background, they even teased they were going to visit T2, but... they didn't. Unfortunately, good concept or not, it pretty much just amounts to a bunch of idiots flopping around while stuff blows up, nothing really new or exciting is introduced to move the story forward, it's just another scary robot chasing the targets down until they kill him. Woo...

"Boring" sounds about right. I actually fell asleep twice during this film (one of these times being in the middle of the fucking climax). Yeah...

[@KlausWulfenbach]

Now that I watch this analysis, I realized that one way to fix it would have been to make Genesys into a trilogy (or at least two films). Then, as long as there's some kind of emotional payoff before each major resets, each film becomes a proper complete story. Then you can also have include each reset as a BTTF style cliffhanger to get the audience coming back for the next film. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the original plan, but then executive meddling or budget problems forced them to make it as one movie. It wouldn't fix all the problems, but it would fix the main structural problem, and give them a chance to make adjustments to the later films so they don't feel too same-y.

Genisys is better than people give it credit. Its worse sin is the dialog is so bad in some scenes. The acting isn't the world's best either. But storywise it's pretty good and handles the near impossible task of continuing the story in an interesting way while handling the mounting logical issues of a time travel series perhaps as well as possible. Yes, as with most fans, I think T1 and T2 are best thought of as standalone movies. But for me, Genisys is more interesting than say T3 was.

Sarah Connor in T2 is the same woman but older, driven slightly insane by the knowledge of what the future holds, training hard for the moment when she has to fight. It's a realistic progression.
