Tinseltown is riding the rails through Nostalgiaville and our next stop this summer is none other than the real sequel to Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Terminator Genisys. James Cameron was correct, this is the real Terminator 3. Just like Jurassic World negated The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III, Terminator Genisys hits ctrl+alt+delete, rebooting the entire system making sure everyone forgets about Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and the Christian Bale prequel, Terminator Salvation.
In recent years, this train ride has gotten boring with remakes, reboots, re-imagining or whatever other re-prefix that has been used to make what is old new again, but this refurbish (see, we did it again) was purely for the fans and 1984 never looked so good. In this go around, John Connor (Jason Clarke) is just about to shut down Skynet’s final base of operations in San Francisco, while the beta team takes on their headquarters in Colorado. Unfortunately, they are too late and Skynet has sent back a Terminator to May 12, 1984 to destroy Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke…no relation), forcing John to send Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) to save his frail, pre-warrior ways, waitress of a mother…sounds all too familiar so far, right?
Well, things don’t go as they are planned as the 1984 Reese returns to no longer the same timeline as our original story (anyone remember Chris Pine’s Star Trek? Kind of like that). Now Reese, Bad A$$ Sarah Connor, and Pops (Arnold Schwartzenegger’s aging T-800) with the help of Detective O’Brien (JK Simmons), must stop Judgment Day.
