Default Terminator: Genisys

Looking forward to this! 2015 looks set to be a great year for films, what with Star Wars out at the end of the year.

Looking forward to this too. LOVE the Terminator films (except Rise of the Machines obviously!)

Should have made more Sarah Connor Chronicles too.

This on so many levels. Though everytime i look at anything Terminator related it annoys the living crap out of me with how much of a hash they've made of the timeline.

By the looks of the early plot synopsis on Wikipedia, Sarahs parents were killed by one Terminator and she was brought from the age of 9 up by another Terminator (Arnie) who trains her up to be able to fulfill her destiny. Except in the first film she has no knowledge of judgement day etc untill she meets Kyle Reese.

Then there's the John Connor paradox...

Looking forward to this actually - looks like they've taken a lot of a action scenes from T2 and built on them - hope the story is decent too!

a get rich quick scheme for thick lazy film executives and a pension boost for Arnie

I suspect the best bits are in the trailer

The problem as far as I see it that nearly every conceivable idea for a sci-fi film has been covered.

So instead of the writers having to come up with something new and original, it is far easier to carry on with an existing plot. However, Robocop, for example, was so bad it was unreal.

Terminator 3 was crap but then then Salvation was alright. The new Terminator film, I fear will be another step backwards, although it is set on an alternate time line, which will be interesting to see if they trip over themselves trying to explain that one to hard core fans.
