Terminator: Genisys

Terminator Genisys
SCORE: B+
I really liked this movie (having had no interest at all in seeing it while I heard it was in production).
I think they did a really good job of furthering the series and getting away from the trope of "we have to save Sarah/John Connor!"
Some people have said the actor who plays Kyle Reese does not act well but I disagree. I think he acted fine. And his relationship with Emelia Clarke/Sarah Connor was fine as well. Arnold was funny without being too corny. I personally liked him best in T3.
It's interesting to watch the Terminator series as technology progresses. In Terminator and T2, Skynet was a machine intelligence that took over the world. In T3 and TSalvation, it's the internet/military industrial complex at NORAD. In TGenisys, Skynet is like an app in iCloud (called Genisys) that connects everyone's devices/lives under one umbrella.
I think what was done with John Connor was VERY interesting (sort of echoing what happened to a character in TS) but it'll probably rub a lot of people the wrong way.
