- José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Nueva castaña descuidada, chusca y falta de ideas que nos llega desde un Hollywood que demasiado a menudo olvida la calidad de los productos que arroja al espectador pensando en el beneficio mundial del primer fin de semana. No hay futuro. Dale, Skynet.
- Matt Brown @ Twitch
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: There’s really only one reason to see “Terminator Genisys” and you probably know what that is – the return of Ahnuld, the Governator, now the Guardian who is ‘old but not obsolete,’ his human exterior aging as he skips across time with the young woman he was sent to protect.
- Andy Crump @ Paste Magazine
- Excerpt: …winks and nudges so much it’ll bruise your ribs.

- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: Everything here … is so imprecise that the stakes are virtually nonexistent.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: As the sci-fi fantasy continues, it’s transecting and tangled, proving time travel is a tricky thing…
- Vadym Grygoriev @ kinoblog.com [Ukrainian]
- Roderick Heath @ This Island Rod
- Excerpt: Frustratingly, Terminator: Genisys backs away from its better ideas, and retreats into a very ordinary second half of bland, familiar action fare…
- Travis Hopson @ Punch Drunk Critics
- Excerpt: Attempts to embrace and completely devastate everything we know and love about James Cameron’s time-bending story, and as one might expect the results are a bit scattershot.

- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: I have a terrible feeling of deja vu. I have a terrible feeling of deja vu. I have a terrible feeling of deja vu. I have a terrible feeling of deja vu.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Terminator Genisys is just as forgettable as 2009’s Terminator Salvation; anyone still remember the plot of that one? I didn’t think so.
- Ben Kendrick @ Screen Rant
- Excerpt: Terminator Genisys is a good entry point for new viewers, with worthwhile setup for future installments, but falls short in evolving core elements of the series.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Terminator Genisys acceptably does its job as a mostly diverting action spectacle more than a successful addition to its brand.
- Oktay Kozak @ Oregon Herald
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Excerpt: Terminator Genisys represents the culmination of the studio’s attempt to revive the franchise for a new generation, but the results are so mixed, it’s hard to believe a sequel is possible.
- Alan Mattli @ Facing the Bitter Truth [German]
- Excerpt: It’s a “late” sequel in the vein of ‘Jurassic World’ and ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’, whose emotional foundation is without question Arnold Schwarzenegger’s effectively minimalist turn in his most iconic role.
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Ross Miller @ Thoughts On Film
- Excerpt: Just about passable fare if you’re not looking for anything intellectually demanding but even in the realm of leave your brain at the door mindless entertainment, it leaves a lot to be desired.

- Excerpt: Calling time…
- Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: The existence of alternate timelines would seem to negate the premise of the entire franchise; why send Terminators back in time to change the future if they cannot change your future? This sequel hinges of the possibility of alternate realities, but doesn’t stop to explore the single reality that the previous four films described.
- Kristy Puchko @ Spinoff Online
- Excerpt: Clarke (Emilia, not Jason) and Schwarzenegger make for a wonderful odd couple, sharing an authentic intimacy, believable bravado and a sharp awareness of the material that makes “Terminator Genisys” a solid addition to the series.
- Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Oscars
- Excerpt: The inspiration in this fourth sequel is that it melds the old familiar Terminator story with our rather disturbing dependence of our cell phones, iPads, laptops and our eagerness to embrace new technologies we haven’t even had the chance to test drive yet. Yet, it’s a new idea wrapped around a story that now feels, admittedly, a bit shopworn.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Another movie so crammed with visual razzle-dazzle in the service of empty, repetitive action that long before it ends, you feel exhausted by the excess.
- Sarah Ward @ artsHub
- Ron Wilkinson @ Monsters and Critics
- Excerpt: Arnie is back with his tongue in his cheek and a toolbox of special effects.
