Terminator Genisys: 10 Questions It Failed To Answer

By James Hunt /

5. Kyle Reese Meets... Kyle Reese?

There€™s quite a lot of time-travel to get your head around in the movie, and most of it involves Jai Courtney€™s Kyle Reese. He€™s then one sent back from 2029 to save Sarah, and then travels to 2017 with her to defeat Genisys.

In 2017, he gets to meet his younger self - is that not breaking some sort of time-travel law? Also, he travels to the future to tell his younger self not to forget about defeating an evil organisation that may no longer exist?

Another question regarding his time-travelling adventures are the visions he has of a past that isn€™t his. It€™s loosely explained how this happens: all to do with a nexus point when he€™s in the magnetic field (Matt Smith€™s character grabbing John Connor), thus he ends up spliced between timelines, but it could be a lot clearer.
