He said he’d be back. He said “Hasta la vista, baby,” and la vista
es ahora, bebe! The Terminator franchise has a new installment and its Genisys
has begun in this sequel-reboot. Time-travel shenanigans to the max!

Terminator: Genisys
tells us the story of Kyle Reese being sent back in time to protect Sarah
Connor, the mother of the leader of the resistance, from being killed by a
murderous robot known as a Terminator. …wait,
that sounds super familiar, isn’t that the plot of the original Terminator? I meant what I said about time-travel
shenanigans. Genisys is a sequel and a reboot simultaneously, showing that each
step back in time fractures reality somewhat, creating multiple different
timelines. This explains why Judgment
Day has moved from 1997 to 2017, and all sorts of dates in between.
