WhereStar Trekmanaged to launch a new string of movies, however,Terminator Genisysfaltered.
Would they have helped to make sense ofGenisys overwrought, time-hopping plot?
Terminator: Genisyshad more than a few head-scratching moments, but the basics of its plot are these.
Good, because this is where things get a bit more complicated.
That soldier, we later learn, is a humanoid embodiment of Skynet itself, called the T-5000.
Heres what we know wouldve happened afterGenisys… How could a group of mortal Resistance fighters counter a threat like this?
More to the point, where the hell did the T-5000 suddenly come from?
That is not the Skynet from this timeline.
The thing that changes is an alternate timeline Skynet.
Skynet from another dimension shows up.
The question is, if the T-5000 is from another dimension, wheres he from?
To be honest, our heads are hurting just from getting this far.
The answer, it seems, is that Sarah and Kyle sent the Pops T-800 back themselves.
Arnolds T-800] is building time travel from plans someone else said, co-writerPatrick Lussier toldi09back in 2015.
In 2017, in Johns world, those plans have not been made.
John, in 2017, doesnt have that answer.
The answer hasnt been written yet.
So its about finding the writing of it.
Assuming that time line even exists anymore.
Or maybe hes so smart that he can now figure out how to build one himself.
I do know where [the sequel] goes with OBrien, Simmons said.
Hes the only guy from the regular world in 2017 who has a clue whats going on.
As David likes to say, and its true, we know the last line of the third movie.
Were not going to share it, but we know it.
