Terminator Genisys: 18 Stupidest Moments In 2015's Dumbest Movie

5. A Terminator With Feelings?!

The whole Pops/Sarah dynamic is all terribly silly, though it does through up some hilarious (though again, mind-bogglingly stupid) sit-com like moments where he plays the grumpy father-in-law. It's funny, mostly, because Arnie cannot feel.

That is, until he apparently can.

Ignoring his hard-wiring, prime directive and essential robot-ness, Pops reveals by the end that he has grown capable of love, in the most disgustingly trite bit of writing in years.

Plus there's the fact that Genisys also pulled the same rubbish as Man Of Steel in suggesting that a man with no ID and no past could get a construction job working for a company with government and military links.

That's definitely not how it works.
