Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes:
"Terminator Genisys" turns unfortunately jokey and self-referential, to the point that it borders on parody," wrote Christy Lemire from RogerEbert.Com.
"Terminator Genisys feels like the film Cameron might have made if he continued the franchise," wrote James Berardinelli from ReelViews.
"Genisys is more entertaining than the last two installments, although it's not nearly as good as the first two," wrote Kerry Lengel from Arizona Republic.
"The film moves so fast-an explanatory prologue, a big battle scene, and Reese jumping through time are all covered before the opening credits have finished rolling-that it's easy to overlook how weightless most of it is," wrote A.A. Dowd from AV Club.
"Terminator Genisys" is a fun ride, as long as fans accept that it's not up to the standards set by the original. But at least it's the franchise's best big-screen effort in more than two decades," wrote Tony Hicks from San Jose Mercury News.
"Genisys goes back to what made the franchise work in the first place: not the machine inside the man, but vice versa," wrote Michael O'Sullivan from Washington Post.
"Like Edgar Wright's The World's End, another film about humanity's robotic takeover, Genisys configures human arrogance -- our refusal to accept inevitability, or even sensibility -- as our saving grace," wrote John Semley from Globe and Mail.
