Terminator: Genisys

Terminator: Genisys is an American feature film of the science fiction and action genres. It is the fifth live-action feature installment of the growing Terminator film series. It was directed by Alan Taylor with a screenplay written by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier. It was produced by Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions and released theatrically on July 1st, 2015. Veteran star Arnold Schwarzenegger finally returns to the franchise he made famous as both a modern incarnation of his Terminator character as well as a younger version of the original T-800 model from the first film. The movie also stars Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese, J.K. Simmons as older Detective O'Brien, Doctor Who 's Matt Smith as Tim, Byung-hun Lee as the T-1000 and Jason Clarke as John Connor. This movie constitutes a "reset" of the original series timeline, so although it functions as a quasi-remake, it is not a true remake. In this alternate timeline, Kyle Reese teams up with a younger Sarah Connor as well as a veteran T-800 Terminator to once again prevent Judgment Day from coming to pass. To do so, they must stop a state-of-the-art commercial networking program called Genisys from coming online in 2017, which will cause the Skynet A.I. to activate.
