Terminator Genisys
The year is 2029. John Connor, leader of the resistance continues the war against the machines. At the Los Angeles offensive, John's fears of the unknown future begin to emerge when TECOM spies reveal a new plot by SkyNet that will attack him from both fronts; past and future, and will ultimately change warfare forever.
Critics Sentiment
Kyle arrives in 1984 Los Angeles recreating original film
John Connor revealed as advanced Terminator cyborg
The film drops sharply when John Connor is revealed as a Terminator, which reviewers saw as fundamentally betraying the franchise's core mythology.
Terminator Genisys starts promisingly with nostalgic recreations of the original 1984 scenes that reviewers appreciated, but gradually loses audience goodwill as the time travel plot becomes increasingly convoluted. The film's major twist revealing John Connor as a Terminator represents its lowest point, with critics viewing this as a fundamental betrayal of the franchise that undermines the entire mythology.
