Two days after getting the motion poster and a day after our first teaser, the first full trailer for Terminator: Genisys went online today, and it looks kind of awesome even if the plot is bound to confuse theaters full of people. We'll explain below, but first here's the video.
This time around Jai Courtney plays Kyle Reese, the future soldier sent back to protect Sarah Connor from the T-800 terminator in the first movie. As we now know, Reese gets Sarah pregnant with John Connor, the very guy who sent Reese back in time, thus creating one of film's most beloved time paradoxes.
The new trailer confirms some of the rumors we'd heard about how Genisys will change that timeline, though. Once again we see John Connor (played here by Jason Clarke) send Reese back in time, but this time he finds himself facing a liquid metal T-1000 like in Terminator 2. Outmatched, he's saved by Sarah Connor who smashes through a retail store in a truck and steals his line, "Come with me if you want to live!"
So what happened? Apparently Sarah has already been saved by Arnold Schwarzenegger's friendly T-800, and they've already taken care of his evil twin. Emilia Clarke plays Connor and she actually looks a lot like Linda Hamilton in her way, even if Courtney looks nothing like Michael Biehn, who played the original Reese, or Anton Yelchin, who played him in Terminator: Salvation. Consistency, after all, has never been this franchise's strong suit.
