Leave your thoughts about Terminator Genisys.
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettWisely utilizes the franchise's best feature - Ah-nold himself - in all the right ways to make the film entertaining if not entirely satisfying. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniWhat is it with cash-grab sequels trying to justify their existence through excessive plotting? This movie has like six villains, none of them compelling. |
| Willamette WeekAlex FalconeAt least Arnold is still fun. It was a brilliant move in the first place; here's an actor incapable of sounding human, so let him play a robot and don't give him many lines. That trick still works. But the other characters, not so much. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdThis new Terminator, the first since the dreadfully dreary and Arnold-less "Salvation," is engineered to feel at once eerily familiar and raise-the-stakes fresh. |
| National PostChris KnightYou don't need to know classical history or even science-fiction benchmarks to enjoy this summer blockbuster. |
| ChrisStuckmann.comChris StuckmannArnold proves he still has what it takes as the iconic title character, but the story around him has become such a convoluted mess, it's difficult to grasp the franchise's storyline now. |
| The VergeBryan BishopWhen the best parts of a movie are the ones that recreate something made 31 years ago, what does that say about the state of modern blockbuster culture? |

| Fresno BeeRick BentleyTerminator Genisys is the best re-launch of a solid-gold franchise since J.J. Abrams kick-started Star Trek. Here's hoping the director and cast will all be back for more films. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakGenisys stays true to Skynet's cause through a lens of our 21st century's voluntary connectivity. |
