Terminator Genisys Is Better Than You Remember – Here's Why
7Everyone loves to hate Terminator Genisys—but what if they’re wrong?
In this week’s Movie Monday, I take a deep dive into the fifth entry of the Terminator franchise and explain why it actually deserves more love than it gets. From bold time travel twists to Arnold fighting... Arnold, this movie brought fresh energy to the saga—even if the internet didn’t notice.
I’ll walk you through the plot, highlight some standout performances (looking at you, Emilia Clarke 👀), and call out the movie’s biggest strengths and flaws. Yes, there are some timeline messes and marketing misfires—but that doesn’t mean it’s the worst Terminator movie ever. In fact... it might be the best one since T2: Judgment Day.
Love it? Hate it? Still mad about what they did to John Connor? Let me know in the comments!
