Great film, really enjoyed it. The acting was great, Arnie was on top form, and the new Sarah Connor was great. If you liked the original Terminator films and the Matrix, you will love this. I also liked Matt Smith's role as Skynet (he used to play the Doctor in Doctor Who). Do not read on unless you have seen it or want to know what happens, because the rest of this review contains spoilers.
SPOILERS What an amazing sequel to the original Terminator films. I wondered how they could make it work, an alternate timeline that gives us a very different world, one where Skynet gets pushed back yet again. So now we more time travel, more of Arnie's good Terminator, shape-shifting terminators, and a history that is re-written with a few things the same, but much has changed, so that we now have a different storyline, but still the same story of mankind's survival against being destroyed by the machines. When it came to the end, I wondered how will the Matrix occur now? (The original story was written by a woman in America who wrote the Terminator and the Matrix as one story called The Third Eye.) When you get the final credits, keep watching for the twist at the end that would still make the Matrix a possibility. The machines never will give up trying to kill or enslave mankind. Much of the storyline is a warning to us today. We rely too much on being interconnected and online, putting everything online is not good, especially if Skynet/Genisys were to become a reality.
