Terminator Genisys

Terminator Genisys

Terminator Genisys is a 2015 American science fiction film directed by Alan Taylor and written by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier. The fifth installment in the Terminator franchise, it serves as a soft reboot of the series, using the plot element of time travel to erase the events of the previous films from the series' continuity. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, who reprises his role as the Terminator, alongside Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, J. K. Simmons, Dayo Okeniyi, Matt Smith, Courtney B. Vance, and Lee Byung-hun. It follows soldier Kyle Reese, a soldier in the war against Skynet, who is sent from 2029 to 1984 by John Connor, leader of the Human Resistance, to protect his mother Sarah. When Kyle arrives in the past, he discovers that the timeline has been altered and Sarah has been raised by a reprogrammed Terminator. Megan Ellison and her production company Annapurna Pictures acquired the franchise rights in May 2011. The following year, production of another installment in the series was set up in collaboration with Skydance Productions, owned by Ellison's brother David. The Ellisons consulted Terminator creator James Cameron in the hope of returning to the spirit of The Terminator (1984) and its sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). Principal photography was primarily in New Orleans, with some in the on-screen setting of San Francisco. Six companies handled the film's visual effects, with its prosthetic make-up and animatronics created by Legacy Effects. The film was released by Paramount Pictures on July 1, 2015, in RealD 3D and IMAX 3D. It was not well-received by critics, who found its story and performances unsatisfactory, although Schwarzenegger's return to the franchise was praised. Terminator Genisys grossed over $440 million worldwide, making it the second-highest-grossing film of the franchise and of Schwarzenegger's career, behind Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Originally planned as the first film of a new trilogy, it was announced in 2017 that the film franchise would be rebooted once again following the return of creative control to Cameron.

Reset the future.
The rules have been reset.

[Reese has just been woken up from being knocked out by the Guardian]

Kyle:
Hey! I need answers, all right? Right now. How'd that liquid metal thing know where to intercept me? Huh? Where'd it come from? [looks at the Guardian] And who the hell's the skin job? Wha-what the hell is going on?

Sarah:
Sorry, we were a little busy with the whole "life and death" combat thing, and then you attacked Pops!

Kyle:
[looks at Sarah in disbelief] You named it?

Guardian:
Hello, Kyle Reese. [The Guardian turns around to face Kyle] It is nice to meet you. [gives a creepy smile]

Kyle:
...Are you kidding me?

Sarah:
I've been trying to teach him to blend in. [The Guardian loses his creepy smile] I know, it needs work.

Kyle:
It's a Terminator! The only reason it blends in is to kill humans.

Sarah:
Pops doesn't kill anyone! [to herself] A lot of leg wounds, though.

Kyle:
It looks old. I've never seen a Terminator [look] old before.

Sarah:
Well, the flesh they put on the cyborgs is normal human tissue. It ages.

Guardian:
My auditory circuits have not degraded, however. I'm old, not obsolete.

Sarah:
[to Kyle] I think you hurt his feelings.

Kyle:
It doesn't have feelings!

Sarah:
He saved my life when I was nine. He's the only reason I'm alive.

Guardian:
I was programmed to protect Sarah Connor. I will not stop.

Kyle:
Yeah, programmed by who? Huh? Who sent him back?

Guardian:
Those files have been erased.

Kyle:
[sarcastically] Oh, that's convenient.

Sarah:
Whoever sent him, they don't want us to know. Not me, not him, not anyone. So Skynet can't target the person who saved me.

Guardian:
Logically it is someone who wants Sarah Connor to live. [The Guardian spots a piece of T-1000 alloy stuck to the rear doors. He raises a shotgun and shoots it, knocking it off the truck] Old, not obsolete. [The Guardian hands his shotgun to Sarah] The T-1000 knows where we are.

Sarah:
[offers the shotgun to Kyle] Make yourself useful. [promptly jerks it back from him] And don't shoot Pops.
