Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future…
REVIEWS:Genysis really does feel like the true 3rd film of the franchise. Arnold is back, and he really carries the weight of this film. He plays a more friendly terminator that ages throughout the film and makes the occasional joke. Emilia Clarke plays a strong Sarah Connor, reminiscent of T2. Jason Clarke plays the antagonist (as you can see in the trailer), but there is a deeper layer to it than what you can see on the surface. Jai Courtny isn't bad either as Kyle Reese.
The movie is a non-stop action ride, and kept my eyes glued to the screen at all times. There are a lot of terminator on terminator action scenes that are some of the best fight scenes of the franchise. The story takes places primarily in three different times, but its not too hard to follow if you pay attention. (even though some critics panned this aspect, it really isn't hard to get). There are plot twists that aren't in the trailers, so don't think they've spoiled everything for you.
Bottom line: If you liked the first two movies, you will like this one.
AND stay after the credits for a special scene.
