Terminator Genisys
Directed by Alan Taylor
The year is 2029. John Connor, leader of the resistance continues the war against the machines. At the Los Angeles offensive, John's fears of the unknown future begin to emerge when TECOM spies reveal a new plot by SkyNet that will attack him from both fronts; past and future, and will ultimately change warfare forever.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Terminator Genisys grossed $89.7 million in the United States and Canada and $350.8 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $440.6 million. Of the Terminator franchise, only Terminator 2: Judgment Day earned more at the box office. Because of its $155 million production budget and an estimated $50–100 million spent on marketing, Bloomberg Business reported that the film would have needed to earn at least $450 million in its theatrical run to break even. In August 2015 Forbes cited Terminator Genisys as the first American film to earn $400 million worldwide without grossing $100 million in North America, earnings comparable to the French film The Intouchables. It was the first…

neutral · AI labelView post →my take on the hot discourse topic today: a lot of people acted like Emilia Clarke was the problem with Terminator Genisys, but she’s actually the best part of the movie. it’s a pretty good 80s Linda Hamilton impersonation! your ire should be aimed at Jai Courtney
positive · AI labelView post →Reminder that this was a promo image for Terminator Genisys and nothing line this happens in the movie Doesn’t make sense to promote the movie with it, doesn’t make sense as a shot in a movie, etc Movie was dumb as hell but this promo shot didn’t really influence that

neutral · AI labelView post →Terminator Genisys still makes me a little sad, because there's about a third of a really good movie in there. The early scenes playing in 1984 were pretty good; it's after we make that leap forward that shit just comes unglued. Lot of missed potential.
neutral · AI labelView post →I never saw TERMINATOR: GENISYS but I do remember the teaser posters which made every character in the film look like a deranged gun-toting psychopath.
negative · AI labelView post →Terminator Genisys First creative use of the time travel the series ever had... And totally botched about every other aspect of the movie that wasn't an action sequence. That whole 30 second idea of a Terminator in the 70s with a young Sarah Connor was far more interesting than what the movie did with Kyle Reese.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s very cute of Paramount+, trying to convince me that TERMINATOR: GENISYS is a real movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Unrelated, but remember when James Cameron said he lied when he said TERMINATOR GENISYS was a great movie and was just doing a favor for Arnold Schwarzenegger?
neutral · AI labelView post →Terminator: Genisys has the big reveal right in the trailer. I think if they had left that out it could have at least redeemed that steaming pile of shit a little bit.
negative · AI labelView post →If we are doing Terminator hot takes today, my hot takes are Terminator Genisys and Terminator: Dark Fate are underrated, and the Terminator film that absolutely deserves every ounce of the hate it gets is Salvation. 😂 I even have a soft spot for 3 tbh.
positive · AI labelView post →Now watching Terminator Genisys #Filmsky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Terminator Genisys isn't a great movie- but it does have this shot of Emilia Clarke being very small and angry and that is a delight.

This includes Terminator 2, my favorite blockbuster ever, and Terminator Genisys, the sci-fi film so bad y’all owe Battlefield Earth an apology! Give it a listen: youtu.be/B23W5s6ycA4?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Revisited Terminator Genisys (2015) last night, and you know what? 10 years on my opinion hasn’t changed, I still really like this film (I think I’m the only person who does), even if it’s a bit ‘fan-fiction-y’ at times. Genuinely sad it never became a trilogy. Plus, the Lorne Balfe score is 👌🏻
positive · AI labelView post →I hope this goes better than Terminator: Genisys. Remember when Smith signed up and they wouldn't reveal what character he was playing. To be honest, the whole film was dreadful, I think it's the worst Terminator out of the franchise.
negative · AI labelView post →the film Terminator: Genisys reaches its peak at 2 minutes and 30 seconds, where it's revealed that the sentient computer Skynet fires a nuclear bomb into San Francisco bay specifically to destroy the Golden Gate bridge. it's all downhill from there - narratively/cinematically/etc.
negative · AI labelView post →Did they recommend ordering one directly before seeing the film? Because with "Terminator: Genisys" it could only have helped.
negative · AI labelView post →The script was incomprehensible. Terminator: Genisys made more sense and it was nonsensical. If this movie makes people realize that Adam Driver is a pretentious, shitty actor and he goes away forever though it'll be worth every penny of the 120 million

positive · AI labelView post →I HOPE that Star Wars: Starfighter movie is good Matt Smith always gets fucked over by IP productions so for his sake I REALLY hope it's good (Not that he's doing poorly, he kills it in so many roles... but the last two american movies I saw with him were Morbius and Terminator Genisys..)

positive · AI labelView post →I'm on a Terminator binge and working my may backwards from worst to best. - **Terminator Salvation** - **Terminator Genisys** The only way is up after these two... Simply said both movies had no interesting/exciting characters or story. Some are downright awful.

unlabelledView post →Watching Alan Taylor's 2015 TERMINATOR: GENISYS for the first time since I reviewed it for SF Weekly, and 2015 me wasn't wrong: this film might have really been something with different leads. Except for Schwarzenegger, everyone is woefully miscast. Just bad decisions across the board.

unlabelledView post →I'm super excited for this movie BECAUSE it stars Jai Courtney. Dude was HATED in the early 2010s because Hollywood kept trying to push him as an action hero leading man. It just did not work, and everyone who saw Die Hard 5 & Terminator Genisys singled him out for being a terrible actor.

unlabelledView post →Yeah, T3, Terminator Salvation, Terminator Genisys, and Terminator: Dark Fate were made possible because of how successful T2 was. T2's still a great film, but given the mediocre at best sequels... yeah.
unlabelledView post →My review of Terminator: Genisys is out! This film took me by surprise. I'd never met anyone who had a single positive thing to say about this fifth installment in the Terminator franchise, but perhaps I do. Watch to find out.

unlabelledView post →35. Terminator Genisys 5/10 - More of a Terminator movie than Salvation. I really liked harkening back to T1 and T2. However, there were frustrations I had with the movie that built up over time and really brought it down despite having a lot of potential. Also good lord Kyle is annoying.
unlabelledView post →Terminator Genisys: was told this was a shit movie. it's schlocky but honestly not seeing the "bad" angle that isn't equally as applicable to Terminator 2 which people love? Enjoyed it, it's a silly action movie with awkward sexual tension between everyone who's technically related across timelines
unlabelledView post →10. Terminator Genisys OK, the movie was fun until it stopped trying not to take itself seriously.

unlabelledView post →I think mine would be Terminator Genisys. I was miserable for that whole movie. Yes, let's literally undo the two best movies and replace them with utter trash. Good idea
unlabelledView post →Bruh I try not to watch trailers anymore bc of how bad it is. Idr which one of the later Terminator movies it was (Terminator Genisys?), but while the initial teaser trailer I saw didn't spoil anything, the following trailers apparently spoiled the large mid-movie twist lmao they're too risky!!
unlabelledView post →Started my rewatch of Terminator: Genisys and once again struck not only by how impossibly fucking stupid and awful it is, but by how much better a film Sarah Connor being raised by and fighting alongside a Terminator would have been.
unlabelledView post →One of the things that bothers me the most about Larry Ellison’s kid trying to buy all of Hollywood is this was the idiot whose production company only had a good movie if it involved JJ Abrams or Tom Cruise. Otherwise, it’s a lot of crap like Terminator Genisys. And yes, that’s spelled right.
unlabelledView post →Terminator: Genisys seems to be another matching movie.
unlabelledView post →I’ve discovered a Plex channel that’s basically Cinemix but it plays videos made up of clips from the film. Terminator Genisys looks so bad
unlabelledView post →Oh wow, know someone who was an assistant to him, brutal. There was this reportedly going on… Always wondered what kind of notes would come down on high from producer of Terminator Genisys and Geostorm… now owns CBS, Paramount and likely Warner Bros soon with President’s backing & server farm money.
unlabelledView post →Next up is Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, and, just like Terminator Genisys like I watched before, is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. A movie devoid of a good idea. A movie solely put out to sate the general audience. It makes me angry even talking about it. boxd.it/bmCoxZ
unlabelledView post →And he was good in Spartacus and Jack Reacher, too. Leto was good in Fight Club and Requiem for a Dream. I'm not hating on them. They just can't seem to carry a movie as the dashing lead hero guy like Tron Ares or Terminator Genisys.
unlabelledView post →Up next is Terminator: Genisys, and I didn't think I would hate a Terminator movie more than T3, but here we are! A supposed alternate timeline movie, but the way they go about it in this movie is just mind-numbingly stupid. #HalloweenHavoc2025 boxd.it/beevuD
unlabelledView post →Is it weird to prefer wackadoo failures over formulaic successes? Because I do. At least they TRIED. At least they put some effort in, if in a way that tempts you to question their sanity. Only film I can think of that's as "made-by-bean-counters" as Hollow Mario is Terminator Genisys. It *hurt*.
unlabelledView post →Terminator Genisys may not have been a good movie, but the thesis behind it—that a large portion of modern humanity would willingly give up their agency to Skynet—was inspired, at least.
