Literally everything. Everything has been completely raped in this movie. 2015 stuck its giant, unoriginal, sjw cock up the terminators ass. I pray to god cameron comes back and reticons everything past 2...maybe aside from the Sarah conor chronicles
>>
>>62626370

What? SJW in this? Where?
>>
>>62626403
Are you kidding me? Sarah connor had none of the development from 1-2 and becomes the saviour of reese. She literally says come with me if you want to live. You blind cunt.

Terminator is a shit franchise. Barring T1, all its movies are terrible and cringe worthy.

How is that SJW, Strong women saving guys isn't bad and isn't sjw shit.
Sjw shit is when guys are made to look bad or incompetent to make the girl look good.
Or when men in general are demonized and punished with shit far worse than the crime.
>>
>>62626678

I agree, she is terrible, but >>62626694 makes my point, you're reaching too much here mate

They blew their load in the trailer and hired Jai Courtney and Emilia Clarke to lead and J.K. Simmons to barely support. I liked everything else.
>>
>>62626694
>>62626723

Fuck that. Reese is made out to be completely incompetent. The movie completely revolves around the fact she doesnt need reese to save her. She is the lead, which completely undermines the purpose of sending reese in the first place. Literally retconned all of the other terminator movies. Reese is sent back to be a sperm donor. You guys are just idiots,

Strongly disagree with everything this anon said. This move was made entirely from the standpoint of Terminator was great and the two shitty sequels that came after T2 were a shit stain that should be removed from history.

>>62626812
Reese isn't incompetent it's just a different example of him being thrown into a world he doesn't understand. This time it's a place where Sarah and the Terminator are more prepared for what's in store than he is. He's still the one who breaks them out of the hospital and police custody. Also, how you can think retconning T3 and Salvation is anything but good just shows me that you're an out of touch autistic fanboy who has no taste in movies.

The only thing you're right about is Emilia Clarke was too plump to play Sarah, they really should have made her commit to being physically able to play the role.
>>
>>62628157
Emilia Clark was shit

that's what ruined genysis (other than the retarded spelling) to be honest

"Reese isn't incompetent it's just a different example of him being thrown into a world he doesn't understand. This time it's a place where Sarah and the Terminator are more prepared for what's in store than he is."

Who the fuck thought that was an acceptable idea for a Terminator sequel?
>>
>>62626812
>Reese is sent back to be a sperm donor. You guys are just idiots,

If you haven't watched Genisys and enjoyed it just because of it's attempt to explain all of the ridiculously obvious paradoxes, then YOU'RE the idiot.

The Terminator series was never well written in regards to the basic element/paradox that someone can't go back in time and father a child that he knows as an adult in his own timeline. That shit doesn't EVER compute.

I believe Genisys was fucking great- superb even.

>SJW

this is becoming meaningless. it's becoming 'what i don't like'. and if you dig deeper, the criticizing of something as 'sjw' becomes ironic in the sense that the critics what to standardize their own views of how a movie or story should be told. screaming sjw is practically nonsense. even if there was a movement, this shit is still art and how dare anyone try to define what can or cannot be done in cinema so loosely.

T3 was a wild, fun ride with a sexy terminator fembot.

Does this have Jason Clarke's best role yet? So far, he's always been typecast as that bland, nice guy except in Genisys.

Sarah wasn't the main character of T2, John was.
>>
>>62629576
>No it's not, it's literally the same as Stephanie Myers reversing the gender roles for her Twilight rehash/cashgrab

are you trolling? reese dies in every terminator he's in except for genisys. when was he ever been this powerful manly man meant to save the world?

the most sensible critique i've read about reese concerns how they beefed him up. if he's part of a ragtag group of revolutionaries that are constantly on the run, it makes sense for him to look as he did in the 1st film. in genisys, he could've been programmed as a terminator himself given his build.
>>
>>62626291
Well, the problem started with the first one.

It was made, you see.

Then, the real trouble started

I don't know anything about Twilight but there are numerous occasions in Genisys where Kyle Reese plays a key role in saving the day.

I just watched this tonight for the hell of it, and it's so goddamn laughable at what they did to the franchise. It's definitely not one of those "so bad it's good" movies. It's just plain awful. It's like they basically took everything from the first four movies, threw in a blender, drank it, then threw it up again.

The only good thing about this movie is that there is no setup for a sequel at all.
>>
>>62629918
>they should've found a new avenue to use with the lore

they did! you just so happen to not like the direction they took. most people that had been thinking or discussing the paradoxes always wondered why the machines never sent back a terminator to kill sarah as a child. there's no really no evidence in the films that implies the machines didn't have the capability. in genisys, we actually see that!

in genisys, the machines should be seen as being more desperate than they were before by actually trying to kill the main source of their problem without much temporal fallout that would destroy a 'successful' timeline. thus, they send a terminator, finally, after sarah as a child, but after all of the battles leading from the 1st terminator, someone is ready for them.

you literally have nothing to complain about- instead of simply being a sperm donor, reese actually has a role to play in a sequel to genisys.

Um...if you tried to understand the outcomes of each movie, it should've became obvious that

>T2: The future isn't set. There's no destiny but what we make for ourselves

was ALWAYS bullshit. plus you've clearly never read up on time travel theories that involve the concept of constants.

literally, the machines are trying to change their destiny at every angle but they keep losing. you can either see their losing as a constant OR see it as something that isn't set that produces the machines continual failures at achieving their goal.

the terminator series should be seen as a struggle between the arguments of predetermination and free will.
>>
There was no sacrifice.
If you look at the first 3 terminator films, The t-1000 sacrificed itself to save john twice and in the first one kyle reece sacrifices himself. Hell in salvation your had the cyborg give john his heart. In this movie no main character sacrifices themselves and I think that takes so much of the the heart of it. Without the sacrifice and it justs a action ramp with no real emontional weight. Also the main actress acting is stiff as a board.

pls refrain from commenting on genisys then.

>>62630320
>fanfiction

Genisys is the ONLY terminator movie that tries to make sense of the rest. Everything through T4 was conceptual garbage given the time paradoxes that were obvious straight from the beginning.

With Genisys, we have the introduction of alternate timelines, merging timelines, and probably a few more paradoxes that I haven't attempted to understand completely. However, the story manages to explain away the most obvious ones from the previous movies so it gets high marks for that alone.
>>
Fuck you guys. If you like t3 or salvation you are almost definitely <25. Both are terrible. T3 is an abortion. Gay bar arnie. This movie is clearly pushing a feminist agenda. Terminator 1 and 2, and ill throw in aliens, have believable female protagonists. Cameron knew how to have a female lead without it feeling like pandering, which this movie fails miserably at. If you like this incompetent piece of trash, you are a fucking moron.

>>62630772
>young ugly fag

more baseless assertions again?

Anyway, Emilia Clarke was probably seen as perfect for the role given her natural likeness to the other Sarah Connor, Linda Hamilton. I don't particularly like either of their performances, but they get the job done adequately.

If you can explain how John Connor exists without stating an obvious paradox, then I'll agree that the other terminators were superior, but if you can't, then you must insist that you're only concern is superficial while overlooking plotholes that should have no business in a time travel narrative.. And that you either enjoy mindless action and/or gimmickry over everything else.
>>
>>62630914
Money was the point. It was the single most irredeemable act of cinema in a hundred years. The media pandering, the shameless propaganda, the 3 fucking Dee, the lack of even a moments worth of entertainment.

>>
>>62630934
Baseless? You're on 4chan arguing about terminator, you clearly have nothing better to do. Emily is no fucking where near linda. That one statement shows how retarded you are. What are you talkimg about? When did this become about plotholes? T2 had phenomenal build up, set piece after set piece. The ending was actually emotional. The characters felt real in spite of the ridiculous plot. Where as this trash is laughable the entire way through, its a parody of t2 in almost every way. They literally drive off into the sunset with everything being fine and dandy, the polar opposite of T2's solome driving down an aimless road with only a few feet of road visible. Plus connor literally turns in to a robot, common man, thats a huge structural plothole that literally fucks with the integrity of the entire franchise.
>>
>>62630984
Oh enlighten me more fag! It wasnt money you retard. Cameron loves exploration and innovation. He doesnt sell cheap merchandise. If ypu cant appreciate how much effort he put into avatar, then you're just a sheep paroting the opinions of every other fag who could nit pick about plot holes in a film that was about 3d immersion. Other people fallowed and they placed little to no effort, that was cashing in. What cameron did was innovative, you're just to full of yourself to be able to perceive it. You are an idiot.

Kyle Reese is the most advanced yet the most lazy, incompetent Terminator in the entire franchise, there is never any buildup to his encounters, he's just there to move the shit plot along.

The worst example is the police station, can someone tell me why he went to where Arnold, who while inferior, still poses the biggest threat to him was being interrogated instead of finding Kyle or Sarah, the people he actually wanted to kill?

From the perspective of seeing how people try and fail to be faithful to the first two movies, sure.

I find the behinds the scenes stuff is way more interesting than anything, like how Claire Danes punched Arnold as hard as she could at his request for that scene in T3.
