10 Movies With Unexpectedly Ridiculous Plots

While witnessing an attack on John Connor in 2029, Kyle Reese is transported to an alternative 1984 where Sarah Connor was raised by a T-800 she calls Pops and a T-1000 disguised as a cop is waiting for him.

Got that? Reese now realises he has memories of a life he never lived, where his younger self keeps repeating “Genisys is Skynet.” This can only mean one thing: Kyle and Sarah must time travel to 2017, the year that Genisys, an operating system that links all your household gadgets, goes online.

Slapped together to exploit the masses before the rights revert to James Cameron, this soulless, crassly commercial garbage is in such a hurry to milk the brand name that it allows nothing – not the exposition, the camp attitude or the characters who keep explaining their motivation to each other – to stand in its way.

Worse, the film tries to be funny, but its only (unintentional) laugh comes at the very end when Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has just been atomised in a huge explosion, reappears without a mark on him.

“I thought you were dead,” Sarah Connor says.

“No,” Arnie tells her. “Just upgraded.”
