“Hasta la vista…”

Directed by Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World), Terminator Genisys is the fifth film in the Terminator series. It’s also the franchise’s nadir — just in case you thought it couldn’t get any worse than Jonathan Mostow’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) or McG’s Terminator Salvation (2009).

In the year 2029, John Connor (Jason Clarke) leads the human resistance against the machines. Here’s the thing about this franchise that boggles my mind: why do studios and screenwriters insist on making this goddamn series about Future John Connorâ„¢?

To raise awareness for the charity After-School-All-Stars, Terminator Genisys star Arnold Schwarzenegger traveled around Los Angeles pranking unsuspecting citizens while dressed as his most iconic film role.

Oftentimes when you let go of your franchise creation, subsequent directors lose sight of what made the original films great. Terminator is a great example of that, with director James Cameron giving us two fantastic films, but Rise of the Machines and Salvation — from different directors — failed to live up to expectations. With Terminator Genisys just weeks away from release, Paramount will be making one final marketing push to get moviegoers interested in the upcoming installment.

A new featurette is doing just that, and it is bringing in Cameron to talk about how Genisys is the true sequel to his Terminator 2: Judgment Day. More on this story and the featurette here below.
