    • Trivia
      Paramount green-lit two sequels to this film before it even opened, because regardless of how well it would do at the box office or with critics, all film rights to the Terminator series would revert back to James Cameron in 2019. However, both sequels were canceled after the film's critical and commercial failure, paving the way for Cameron to produce Terminator: Dark Fate (2019).
    • Goofs
      In both Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) and Terminator Genisys, in several instances, our heroes fire grenade launchers at nearby targets on which the grenade impacts and explodes. High explosive grenades arm about 15-30 meters (45-90 feet) from the launcher after being fired. A grenade launched inside a small room would not have traveled far enough to arm and would not explode.

      Guardian: That's a meaningless gesture. Why hold onto someone you must let go?

    6/10
    Serviceable action flick suffering from the shadow of its franchise
    If it wasn't part of such a genre redefining franchise as Terminator, Genisys would be a perfectly serviceable action sci-fi. Sure the dialogue is clunky as hell, the convoluted time travel conceits don't ever really make sense and despite one decent twist it's a tad predictable. But hey this is blockbuster cinema and the action is great, the film rattles along at pace and the acting is genuinely not bad (Courtenay spending a large part of the film topless didn't hurt either!). But you can't escape the legacy. This IS supposed to be part of the Terminator mythology. Despite Arnie's best comedic efforts (he steals most scenes he's in) you can't get past what an inferior addition this is to join at least two of the most iconic sci-fi films of the 20th century. Whilst enjoyable enough in its own right, hopefully this will be the last attempt to resurrect the past Terminator glories.
