Terminator Genisys Film Review

Finished watching Terminator Genisys directed Alan Taylor and staring Jai Courtney, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Matt Smith, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lee Byung-hun. The film opens up with Kyle Reece (Jai Courtney) narrating how Skynet took over and how he first met John Connor (Jason Clarke). In 2029 the Human Resistance led their final assault on Skynet, realising that this could be the end Skynet send the original T-800 back to 1984 to kill Sara Conner (Emilia Clarke) before John was born. In a bid to save Sara, Kyle volunteers to go back in time and stop the terminator from completing its mission. As Kyle  to begins to travel back in time the timeline changes as  Skynet reveals itself to be undercover as one of the resistance members (Matt Smith) who apprehends John causing the change with Kyle gaining the memories of an alternative childhood. In 1984 Sara Connor and her adopted farther (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a reprogrammed T-800 deal with the other terminator that was sent to kill Sara and rescue Kyle from a T-1000 (Lee Byung-hun) who had been waiting for him to arrive. After dealing with and destroying the remains of the T-1000 and the original T-800 Sara and Kyle travel to the future to stop Skynet from ever going live with the use of a prototype time machine Sara's adopted father builds and uses the chip of the fallen T-800 to power it. Overall this was a great film as the action and the si-fi are blended well which helps the plot. While the relationship between Sara and her terminator is very remanesant to that of the relationship between John Connor and the T-800 in the second Terminator film. 8/10.
