Terminator Genisys (2015), directed by Alan Taylor

Arnold Schwarzenegger is about the only reason to see this unconvincing time-jumble in which just about anything can happen, and does.  As much a pastiche of the first two films as a story in its own right, this one features an alternate reality in which Sarah was taken in hand by Schwarzenegger's Terminator at the age of seven so by the time Reese arrives in 1984 it is she (and Arnold) who help him rather than the other way around.  He needs help because Skynet has been replaced by the super-program Genisys (amusingly described as an "app" at one point) and Genisys is about to take over the world.  With the help, of course, of another brand new Terminator.  But when anything goes, nothing matters, and with its overlapping timelines and alternate reality premise the whole thing comes off as ennervatingly pointless.  The special effects are all right, though, even if the characters interacting with them are much less engaging here than in Terminator I and II.
