I dont recall wen they started premiering blockbusterz on Wenzdayz, but I think this iz the 1st time they started on Tuezday. It wuz advertized az July 1st, but here it iz on June the 30th in all the 1st run theaterz.
Seemz to me this really goofs up any way uv figuring 'openning weekend' box offis numberz sins ulot uv fanz will see it befor Friday.
Are they figuring on getting a strong word uv mouth tsunami going, or iz this the 1st bad terminator movie and they want to cash in befor word gets out?

Most Wednesday premieres are close to holidays, in this case July 4th. Even when the premiere is Friday, there have been early showings on Thursday. I doubt I'll see it for a while, maybe not even in the cinema, but all the buzz about it has been positive.

I hate to say anything bad about my fave franchize, but this iz not a great movie.
Its not horrible. It haz its moments, but its way below par for a Terminator movie. Bad direction. Arnold did a great job. JK Simmonz wuz excellent, but alot uv the action wuz unmemorable and there were sum stoopid mistakes. The dialog wuz flat. All thingz considered, its worth a vizit tio the theater, but I feel like I'v watched an episode uv a TV show rather than a blockbuster epic movie.

IIRC ID4 was shown on Tuesday, 3 July 1996. I don't recall if that was evening or midnight showing. I didn't know T:G was going to be showing on Tuesday until I showed up at the cinema.
Of the blockbusters, this may be the best I've seen this year, need to think about relation to Mad Max. Have not seen Avengers yet.

Seems some scenes have been re-used from the original. Nudity has been omitted - arnold's frontal deleted.
I think this is only the second time that Arnold has appeared onscreen as 2 characters in the same scene. The other was Last Action Hero, as character Jack Slade and the bullied husband of Maria Shriver.

I liked it better than 3, maybe better than 4. not as much as 1 or 2.
Who is the Arnold clone? Those cuts look exactly like the original, just remastered.
I don't believe you. Do you have cites?

Also Sarah's nudity omitted, likely to get a better rating. At the time of the original, only good movies had R ratings, lesser ratings were for B movies.
I had more to post, but right now I can't get over the claim that no scenes were re-used.

Just saw this…LOVED it.
Critics don't, it seems…but I often disagree with them.

TV Tropes is very much like the minute in the cartoon “Inside Out” where Joy and Sorrow find themselves being deconstructed in the region of Abstract Though. As in that cartoon, it can be dangerous to disassemble a not particularly good movie into it's clunky components.
Terminator: Genisys has the Magic Countdown, one of the most overused tropes in science-fiction. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagicCountdown
And why wasn't Firefly's Summer Glau, from Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles fighting with Schwarzenegger? That would have made the movie more like TV, but good TV.
And this time travel movie did have TV's
