'If we die tonight, mankind dies with us'
Arnie shooting his younger cyborg self! Sarah Connor appropriating “Come with me if you want to live”! And, yes, a delivery of the line, “I’ll be back”… Following the "living" poster and that tease, the full trailer for Terminator: Genisys has arrived, and it’s a doozy that promises to split opinion even more than the recent pics.
Kicking off in the Future War, with Jason Clarke’s battle scarred, bitter John Connor, things appear normal for the Terminator franchise. But when Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) volunteers to go back in time and save John’s mother, Sarah (Emilia Clarke), he arrives to discover that the timeline has been tinkered with and things are very different.
This is not the be-permed, everywoman Sarah we met in 1984’s The Terminator. Instead, this Sarah has lost her parents to a Terminator attack but raised by an aging version of Arnie’s T-800. And Kyle will need her help when an Asian model of the morphing metal T-1000 threatens his life.
Together, Sarah and Kyle must figure out what has happened and find a way to once more stop Judgement Day from happening. There’s a lot to take in here: this thing is chock full of nods to the first two films (and, to a lesser extent, Salvation’s war-torn future), but some of them feel like channelling nostalgia in the hopes of drawing a reaction. Still, it’s fun to ponder Arnie taking on himself and all the little elements lurking within. We feel a little bad for Reese having to time travel in his birthday suit with everyone watching, but when you look like Jai Courtney, you probably don’t worry about that. Plus, director Alan Taylor and his team have clearly gone all out with the set pieces, though the Golden Gate Bridge must be wishing somewhere else would get a turn at chaos… {Terminator: Genisys Poster}
With Byung-hun Lee, Matt Smith, J.K. Simmons, Dayo Okeniyi and Sandrine Holt among the cast, Terminator: Genisys is set to arrive in our cinemas on July 3 next year.
