Looks like pretty much a direct response to those that have been grumbling since T3 that "Oh I miss The Terminator/Terminator 2, that one was the best" because the fanbase can't even agree on THAT simple question (spoiler alert: T2 FTW.)
So now, we get the first two movies: Reloaded.
I'm cool with that. What's the lesson here? there is no fate but what we make for ourselves

Ah... but... now trailers are often misleading but notice how when John and Reece get confronted by the giant terminator and then there is a terminator shooting? Is that old arnie survived from the present day to make sure that Reece goes back and then he sends a young version of himself back without John's knowledge...*
* Yes yes I know... ontological paradox.
To be honest, that's probably the least ridiculous thing for me, since it would pretty much stand to reason in the context of what we know about the T-800 skin from previous films. My brain has no problem hand-waving away a Terminator's skin aging if it was around long enough.

I think it's just further proof that the first two movies already did all the coolest and most original things that could be done with the concept.
If even Cameron couldn't think of any great new idea or direction for the story, it's doubtful anyone else will be able to.
It could be another setting inside the Terminator like the Read/Write setting we see manipulated in the extended edition of the T-800 in T2. The T-800 likely can be set to not age and just always look the same or set to appear to age if it's ever in an embedded situation for an extended time and would need to appear to age in order to not seem suspicious.
It's an oddity for sure and doesn't 100% make sense, but it's feasible.
Having seen the trailer for Terminator: Genisys, I'm more excited for it than I am for having seen the teaser trailer for Star Wars VII: The Fanfilm Awakens....
I was really fired up for a new Star Wars movie, even under JJ Abrams and Disney, but the first teaser trailer, to me, sucks donkey yarbles. It seriously looks like a fanfilm, and when I saw the astromech head on a rolling beachball, I immediately thought "so, this is a fanfilm parody trailer".

To be honest, I wasn't even thinking that complex. Simply that the skin that Skynet grew for its Terminators ages in the same way that Human skin does, if it happens to stay intact long enough to do so. It's an organic skin, made to mimic everything Human skin does in order to be indistinguishable from the real thing, so it figures it would age too.
Convoluted much?
Yeah, that seemed pretty straightforward without any explanation.
Doesn't seem that complicated.
I don't understand why there's a need to explain the skin when it's on a time traveling android from the future. I think if you can suspend belief on those things, then the aging thing shouldn't be a problem.
That said, it's pretty clear it was written as a way to shoehorn in Arnold, much in the same way the Star Trek movie tried to shoehorn in Nimoy. The biggest difference though, is that this movie won't likely be anywhere near as well received by audiences. I wonder if anyone will ever really figure out how to make a reasonably good Terminator. Probably not before the rights revert to Cameron.
I'm always in because I'm a terminator leech. But I really don't have high hopes.

Pretty much what I said in my first post.
The last one was so painful.
JMS's comic books that just finished, turned out to be shit.

Looks like a lot of fun. I love the concept and it seems that those unfilmed scenes from Terminator 2 are going to be the opening for this film. I like that we finally get to see John send Kyle back. I like that they are playing around with the time travel concept in a bigger way and things are being mixed up which is what reboots really should be doing if they want to stay fresh. As for the acting, Schwarzenegger is in top form playing a robot once again.
