Terminator Genisys is another reboot of the successful movie franchise and it is a big improvement compared to the two previous films before this: the dull Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) and the underwhelming Terminator Salvation (2009). It's also nice that Arnold Schwarzenegger is back is his iconic role but since this is a new version, the filmmakers made a role that is suited for his age and stature that befits once who once got elected to be California governor. He plays the Guardian aka Pops to Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke's Sarah Connor who is almost like a father figure to him all these years as they fight the machines amidst the upcoming dominance of the Genisys app that can easily rule the world.
Alongside Sarah Connor are the other characters we know of the movie series. His son John Connor (Jason Clarke) who may or have not changed, Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) and of course Skynet. The story is one long time traveling tale and it doesn't disappoint. Just be alert of it. I also love that they used San Francisco as their city. After San Andreas and Inside Out, we do love our city getting hit in Hollywood!!
Terminator Genysis may not have the brilliance of Terminator 2: Judgement Day which is the best of the series but it does bode well for the upcoming trilogy that it's filmmakers had planned on doing.
