Terminator Genisys (2015)

I intended to watch this film around the time that it came out, perhaps even in the theater, but ended up waiting quite a while to watch it.

Each of the sequels of the Terminator franchise seeks to up the previous film.  In this case the thing that was by having John Connor be turned into a terminator.  That made no sense as it didn't didn't give any useful advantage in the chance of success of an attack on Sarah Connor and even if it wasn't John Connor any terminator could have just mimicked John Connor.  Even odder is that after defeating Skynet (at the beginning of the film) John was attacked by a terminator.  Didn't they disable all the terminators with the destruction of Skynet?  Then where did that terminator come from, especially with such high technology which could have been put to good use against the human resistance.

One of the biggest problems of Terminator 2 is that the drops of liquid metal of T-1000 lacked any type of control unit, making him completely impossible.  What was commanding the t-1000's body to form the shapes it did?  What was causing those parts that broke off to rejoin his body?  This was much more plasuable in Terminator Geneisys, as the John Connor was made up of nanobots, which would have the abilities.

Still, it's quite odd that the John Connor (who was no longer human in any form) would keep reforming with very detailed muscles before covering himself in flesh.  That would obviously NOT be his means of locomotion and was just added to make a cool special effect.

Also, who on earth would steal a bus to escape?  It's extremely unweidly and was merely choosen allow the location of John Connor to be interderimnate to Sarah and Kyle.

Even stupider is that John Connor jumped on to the bus with a motorcycle. All that was.  All it really did was give away the element of surprise.  He could have pulled up behind the bus without Sarah suspecting she was about to be attacked.
