read this without getting a headache

"So, at some point, killing them in the past became counter-productive as Skynet’s victory over humans in the future depends on it becoming conscious in a way that relies on the Internet and advanced technology from the events of the third film. Of course, this is all changing from our perspective here in the single present-day timeline of the films, which keep creating alternate dimensional timelines of possible futures for ourselves, and those are the new futures that interact with John and Sarah in our present day. All of those other previous futures are still out there somewhere, with different less advanced versions of our future. Meanwhile, our present day timeline continues apace, Judgment Day happened in the third film, and John goes on to eventually reach some point in time (not 100% the same as the original version of that future, but close enough perhaps the two dimensions converged at some point or others faded from existence without enough similarities to existing past time ripples to sustain them?) where he has to send Kyle Reese back to save Sarah Connor and set the ball rolling. Our present becomes our future, and now we start interacting with a past that is not necessarily our own.

And when Kyle gets there, he finds that someone from further down our future chain of events has already intervened to create a brand new past. Nobody in “our” future realized it, because changing those events didn’t suddenly erase “our” version of the future from existing, it just cut the chord and turned it into yet another stand-alone future that might never come to be for this new alternate past. Or… did someone come back in time from one of those OTHER alternate futures that was long ago cut off from the past? Who exactly sent back a new Terminator to radically redesign the past, leaving Sarah an orphan in the hands of a friendly Terminator who groomed her into a soldier the way she is meant to groom her son to save humanity after Judgment Day? And is Judgment Day still inevitable, now that the past was changed so far back in the line?"

Looks fucking awesome. Might end up being a wreck, but love how the general aspect of the plot looks.

(the acting looks rough though)

"On set, a Skydance exec filled us in on some of the details. "It's not a traditional remake, nor it is a continuation or a sequel, nor is it exactly a reboot," he said. "In a sense, it's a reimagining -- and it certainly follows the same kind of logic as J.J. Abrams' [Star Trek], which is that the beauty of any world where you have time travel is that you can introduce pivotal, different events that then fracture off on a whole new timeline and let you explore how things would have happened if one major thing had gone differently.

"The movie will take place in more than just 1984," he continued. "I don't think any one of [the time periods] clearly dominates the entire movie... There is critical action in the future, and there is critical action in the past."

Later, Taylor confirmed to us that the first two Terminator movies were the primary influence of Genisys, with the latter two taking a backseat. (This is also pretty evident from the trailer.) "For me, one of the main elements of the first two movies was that it was always about the world we all know, that we can identify with," the director said. "We're trying to bridge the things that have existed in the mythology before and be true to it, while launching something new.""

Is this a complete reboot or is it tied to a former Terminator film? This is going to make T3 and Salvation look good

I think it acknowledges T1 and T2. I'm not sure Salvation and T3 are acknowledged.

[socopithy]

What does it matter? It's all a fucking mess anyway.

[TwoStep2888]

looks bad, I'll still see it for Arnold.

It was so damn good. Reviewers and fun are fucktards.

[skippdogg]

It was very well done and the continuity wasnt too unbelievable. Honestly you start fucking with the past and shits gonna happen. Arnold had some nice light hearted moments in there to poke fun of him being old in general. Liked it a lot.

Confession: I still haven't seen the original Terminator. Only one I've seen was Salvation a few years back. However, I noticed they added it on Netflix so I have plans to watch it this week, hopefully.

T2 is a masterpiece

i liked this a lot, too, and not sure what reviewers were looking for. good to actually see other people were into it as well.

speaking of terminator on netflix, i put that on last night after i got home and was amazed at how well genisys mimicked those early scenes of the first movie. seriously, if you saw/see genisys, go watch the first movie because that shit was spot on. they couldn't use the footage from the first movie, so everything was shot anew. just great stuff there.

it's not a great movie that will be remembered as a classic, but as a 'reboot' that ties into the existing terminator universe, it's a pretty fun film.
