Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaParamount 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(at around 1h 27 mins) Heavy vehicles, such as school buses use air brake systems. When a loss of pressure is experienced in the system, such as when John destroys the air tanks, the brakes auto-apply. The bus would therefore come to an immediate halt, not continue on with "no brakes" as is seen in the movie.
- Crazy creditsThere is an extra scene during the credits.

Featured review
Underrated.
No it's not T1 or T2, so go and watch them if you really can't move on. Terminator Genysis is a very entertaining addition to the series with a bold and genuinely surprising plot and excellent action sequences.
Tonally it gets a little wobbly with some of the attempts at humour, but nothing that derails the movie. Emilia Clarke maybe lacks the physical presence of Linda Hamilton doing pull-ups (and being generally intense) however, she brings her own dynamic to this one with a solid performance. Also her paternalistic backstory with the T800 works well.
Terminator 2 will not be bettered. You can either spend the rest of your life feeling sad about that or you can enjoy Terminator Genysis as a mostly-successful film in its own right. Up to you. That future is not set.
