Review of Terminator Genisys (2015) by Rockman20Xx — 03 Jul 2015

A great "reboot" to the Terminator franchise. Respectful to the originals while being something new.

Great music and sound design too, which seems to nod at the T1 and T2 soundtracks in several places... I thought that was pretty sweet (unlike what we got in T3 and Salvation).

Without spoiling specific details... *something* happens in the original timeline (What that *something* is, is a question acknowledged by the film and to be explored in the future), that allows a deviation from the outcome of the future war that we're all familiar with from T1 and T2, which causes a new timeline/reality to branch off, and cause the events in this Genisys film. This new timeline seems like it's supposed to be continuous with our own reality, with regards to it now being 2015 and still no Judgement Day, and also in regards to our current state of technology and where it's headed...

Please don't let the 'professional' critic reviews steer you away from this film (or any for that matter). Make up your own mind -- you've seen the trailers and advertisements... if it made you curious, then just go! It's good. "Trust me".
