Baring any set backs, I'm planning to see this opening night just as I did Salvation because I love the Terminator world/series. I thoroughly enjoyed Salvation, even more than T3. I remember seeing T3 for the first time and was thinking this is just trying to be T2 all over again, but still had some moments I loved. In particular I loved the introduction of Katherine and finding out about her and John, the casket left behind by Sarah, the Cemetery scene and really loved the ending as I actually didn't see it coming. Still it doesn't hold a candle to the first two films. To me, T1 is the end all, be all, as it's by far my favorite. As a kid, Arnold scared me as the Terminator. Then in T2 he got to play the hero, got to see what John was like, the change in Sarah and one of the great baddies in the T1000. I'm looking to binge on all Terminator stuff the 4 films and the Sarah Connor Chronicles before seeing Genisys. Like many have said I look at this as just another timeline or whatever you want to call it as I'm in that crowd that looks at the first two films as their own thing.
Saying that, I'm definitely not digging Jai as Kyle which is upsetting as Kyle and Sarah are my fav characters from the whole series. At least they got his look down with the trench and nikes lol. Holding out hope for Emilia as Sarah though. Shall see.
