Terminator: Genisys - Part 7

[Slushy]

I shouldn't be surprised, but it's like Jurassic World, where do you go from here?

Arnold going back in time to save the Connors again.

Oh, and money. Everybody loves money.

And that's why we can never get good sequels because the studios just want to reboot everything even if it takes a lot of money at the box office.

 

[Marvolo]

I have to wonder how the movie would have done and/or been received if the promotions had not ruined the John Connor twist.

Just as badly. This is a mess of a film. That is why it's being received the way it is. Critics and viewers aren't tearing this film a new one because of a spoiler in a trailer.

I was laughing though at how all the main players in this film were from everywhere but the US.

It really is. But the way I never thought I'd see a monologuing Terminator. I started getting very angry during the Can't be bargained with bit. At that point I thought whoever wrote this film deserved to be impaled by a T-1000.

Definitely not because of one ruined spoiler but I have to wonder if not knowing that going in would have changed the experience at all.

The fundamental problem with every Terminator movie after the second one is that the story already ended. T2 closes the time loop started in the first one, averts judgement day, and ends the story. Every subsequent movie just muddles and distends what was already a complete arc.

And then for the exception of Salvation just tries to repeat the same thing that T2 did. When Sarah says "we can stop judgment day from happening", My eyes rolled really hard.

 

[TheCaretaker]

I really want to see where this goes and hopefully the next installment continuing this fixes the flaws this one had. Lets **** with the timeline even more and relive some of T2 but in another direction like the T1 T800 brawl in Genisys.

 

[LostSon88]

I liked it. Better than I expected. In the end the twist didn't bother me too much...

By default it's my 3rd favorite after 2 and 1. 3 and 4 were much more 'meh' to me than Genisys. I was pretty entertained by this one.

How is that relevant? The same is true of half the movies out there.

So any speculation as to who sent Pops to protect Sarah when she was 9?

I'm guessing people missed the Many Worlds concept used in the film. All of the timelines exist. They have branched or split off into alternate realities or parallel universes. The linear timeline concept as we knew it in the past is gone.

This opens up the possibility for sequels dealing with different Terminator realities, aka the Terminator multiverse, spilling over into each other, e.g. the TV series, the Dark Horse comics, NOW comics, T3 and Salvation, etc.

@Lost Son, I think there is a possibility it was John Connor but not from their timeline. A very different John Connor, who comes from an alternate reality, where the technology has been developed to use the Space Time Displacement devices to travel not only through the past or future, but jump across multiple realities similar to the old Fox series Sliders. Though I also wouldn't discount a rival AI or rebellious AI to Skynet. I would not be surprised if we end up seeing multiple factions of machines.

Never say it was. It was just something i had noticed that made me laugh.

 

[terry78]

There are a couple shots where Clarke looks like a young Linda Hamilton but it's just the angle used I think.

 

[DarKush]

What happened in post credits? I left.

Spoiler

They show a ruined Cyberdyne, but underneath there is a glowing red sphere and then a hologram of Skynet appears. In a way it makes the final big battle, if not the entire movie pointless. However, I wonder if they are just going to shift the action to the 'present' and move the Future War to today.

 

[Lily Adler]

I'm confused, so Skynet DOES have a central computer? I thought in T3 they stated it had no core.

 

[Schlosser85]

I'm about to go see this....not expecting much, but I want to see for myself.

 

[Fallen Angel]

T1 and T2 hasn't done what Genysis has manged to do and that's finally stop Skynet.

That's what a friend said today after watching it.

Genisys ignores T3 and Salvation.

they change it when they need a face for the villain. its obvious that skynet should never have a face to talk to the humans. like in TS. cheap writting IMO

p.s.: for everyone who will try to list all iconic AI who had a face and body. i wrotte skynet. so dont even try to tell me about Ultron,...
