Nervy, silly, almost admirably misguided attempt to give the 31-year-old franchise a massive cybernetic facelift.
Full reviewThe director of Thor: The Dark World helms this fifth entry in the Terminator franchise, following a new timeline where Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney, Divergent) goes back into the new past and teams up with Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke, Game of Thrones) and an ageing Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger).
As Judgement Day looms, the group must do all they can to prevent the robot revolution. Co-stars JK Simmons (Whiplash), Matt Smith (Doctor Who) and Jason Clarke (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) as John Connor.

Full reviewThe ending has one WTF moment that lacks credibility, even in this logic-defying loopy universe. But by then, you'll have most likely given in - and just accepted this as the barmiest Terminator yet.
Full reviewFans hoping to watch Schwarzenegger growl his catchphrases with a slight edge of shtick are underestimating the patience involved in sitting through a two-hour slog.
Full reviewSchwarzenegger, 67, is, yes, back, because while the series thrill is lamentably long gone, franchises now apparently last forever.
Full reviewIt's as if it has gone back in time to murder our memories of the ancestral first film and crush the series' reputation.
Full reviewThe film almost completely falls apart in the second half when it becomes as loud as it is tedious.
Full reviewThe problem is that nothing carries much weight - not the stilted romance between Sarah and Kyle, not the effect-driven action sequences, not even the threat of apocalypse, with billions of lives supposedly in the balance.
Full reviewIt somehow lovingly homages a great film while pissing all over it at the same time.
Full reviewPart remake, part remix, part sequel. But it doesn’t add up to a worthy successor for the James Cameron originals.
