![]() In a last ditch attempt to save itself, the digital entity sends a T-800 Terminator back in time to 1984 Los Angeles to assassinate John’s mother, Sarah (Emilia Clarke). Skynet, an automated defense program turned destroyer of mankind, faces defeat at the hands of John Connor (Jason Clarke) and the Resistance. The year 2029 witnesses the end of the war between man and machine. ![]() Stock explanations involving quantum physics, nexus points, and decay algorithms serve only to raise further questions – but perhaps the most important query will be, “What exactly is ‘Terminator Genisys’ supposed to add to the series?” While the explosive battles between varying Terminators aren’t exactly mundane, real suspense rarely enters into the fray, considering that every colossal combatant (and human lead characters alike) appears invincible, shrugging off gunshots and even dismemberments. Sadly, it doesn’t take long for the potential to dissolve into a formulaic escapade of messy time travel antics and CGI-heavy action sequences. Ropelling this fifth installment in the franchise is the moderately intriguing revisitation of several key moments from the original film.
