    Great action in the first half, but gets rather silly in the second half. Loses a star for the annoying cliché of the bad guy having the perfect 100% guaranteed opportunity to kill the heroes, yet doesn't take it, only to struggle to no end to kill them afterwards. Other than this dumb and all too common cliché, this is the first well-cast, well-acted Terminator since T2.

    I went into this movie with no expectations and thought it was pretty good. Not the best movie but was worth the price of admission.

    I loved this movie. It has everything going for it.. action, special effects, suspense, nostalgia & comedy. I was fully entertained from begining to end. I dare say it's just as good as Terminator 1 & 2. The time travel aspect is not difficult to unserstand. You just need to be familiar with the storyline of the first 2. And the few open questions left I'm sure will be answered in the next movie ;) I don't understand why some viewers and critics are trashing it. Perhaps Magic Mike XXL is more to their taste.

    This is the first worthy Terminator film in years. Emilia Clarke is stellar as Sarah Connor, the evolution of the T-800 is a great wrinkle in this film series, and the problems and paradoxes of time add a fascinating layer of depth. I'm disappointed in the film critics, who have criticized this movie for being original, thought-provoking and not formulaic enough. This is a fantastic step in a new direction. I enjoyed this movie as much as James Cameron's original Terminator and Terminator 2. Not surprised he gave Terminator: Genisys his blessing. Enjoy!

    The movie is entertaining especially for those who love the original franchise. However, the story was weak and not a good ending from Terminator 2. At some points I felt that it dragged and I lost interest. Arnold does a decent job.

    Only reason I gave it 1 star is because I can't give it 0 stars. Total crap, had zero logic or purpose and so many plot holes it could be used as a model for a pasta strainer.
