Terminator: Genisys Trailer

I've been waiting for this movie to come out. While all the Terminator films were disappointing to me when I watched them this summer, Terminator: Judgment Day was good. Also, I'm a huge fan of modern action reboots with ensemble casts. Some great examples are: Star Trek (2009), Star Trek: Into Darkness, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Prometheus, The Dark Knight Trilogy, X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and The Amazing Spider-Man. I liked those films much better than the original films, even those considered to be classics. There can be bad reboots, though. The Bourne Legacy, Rocky Sequels, A Good Day to Die Hard, Superman Returns, The Matrix Sequels, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and The Hobbit Trilogy (I still loved it) weren't quite as good as their predecessors. I thought Terminator: Genisys would be on the better reboot side. It has a strong cast to back it up; Jason Clarke proved himself in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and in supporting roles in other films, Jai Courtney is becoming a next generation action star in each new movie he does, Emilia Clarke looks great on Game of Thrones (I've haven't seen it, but that's what I've heard), Arnold Schwarzenegger returns, and J.K. Simmons plays some in role in it too. The trailer didn't completely kill every positive thought I had about the movie, but it was definitely less than I expected. The action and cast looks good, but not as great as I hoped, and it looks too much of a Judgment Day remake. Also, I don't know if you noticed, but it has the exact same music as Jason Clarke's big action blockbuster of 2013 "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" trailer #2. With my new doubts about the trailer, I'm no longer thinking that this reboot can save the franchise. But, it is just a trailer.
Predictions:
EW: B+
Imdb: 7.9
RT: 84
Trailer Rating: B-
