Yeah, no shit.
I guess someone decided the original planned ending for Salvation was a good idea after all! Sort of.

God damn. Why not just put "No, I am your father" in the Empire Strikes Back trailer while you're at it. 
I guess they thought the spoiler reveal about the true nature of Sam Worthington's character in the Terminator Salvation trailer wasn't enough, so they had to up the ante here.
Also, a lot of the CGI looks worse than the older films.

After everything we've seen in the trailers, I can't even tell what this movie is about anymore. It has so many moving parts. I anticipate a hot mess of muddled nonsense and terrible Arnie one-liners.
Also, WTF with Clarke's accent? That's a pretty awful attempt at an American accent.

It almost seems as if they couldn't decide on what direction to take, so they decided to throw in parts from every Terminator film (and even some stuff from the books and scripts) into a pot to see how it turns out.
When a movie can't even spell it's own name, it doesn't fill me with confidence. This really does look awful.
Lots of explosions, noise and jump cuts. Might as well just jump to the inevitable studio meeting and call it Transformers: Terminators Vs Predators Vs Aliens
And Jai Courtney has far too many right angles in his face for my liking
But hey, just like every other soulless monkey pumper out there, i'll probably go see it

I know a lot of people are hating this movie already, but I think it looks fun. I'm a fan of pretty much everybody in this (Ah-nuld, Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, J.K. Simmons) and there's exactly one person I'm not (Jai Courtney). I think the twist about John Connor being a Terminator is interesting, because, if you think about it, Connor and Skynet are connected. No Skynet, no Connor. No Connor, no Skynet. John Connor and Skynet need each other for the other to exist. If there's anything Sarah and Uncle Bob taught John over the years, it's that everything depends on John's survival. In Connor's mind, Sarah and the T-800 are trying to erase his existence. Survival.
Or, it may not even be John Connor at all and is just the T-1000 mimicking him to get in good with Sarah and screw with Reese. They are infiltration units, after all.

Especially after watching the latest trailer, I'm not convinced that this isn't just a desperate plea from Arnie to believe that he's still relevant (which is almost as sad as it is funny).
I doubt I'll bother seeing it in a theater, but once it hits a rental service down the line, I'll give it a go. I'm at least somewhat curious about how the details will shake out.

It looks like a lot of fun. I'll be seeing this.
I was thinking it might not even be a Terminator made by skynet but a third player in the war between machines and humans.
So...the universe created not one but two predestination paradoxes to allow Skynet not only to emerge enough to create a timeline to allow the T-X to go back and "fully" allow itself to arise, but for Kyle Reese to create the person who created the situation in the first place...has resulted in a timeline where Skynet still therefore wins because John is no longer human requiring a third temporal event to further...oh god my head.
Wow, you guys are crazy pessimistic. I agree that the trailer looks a bit disjointed, but I take that as the marketing team trying to show us how different this film will be from the other Terminator movies. And you know what? Mission accomplished. Regardless of how the final product turns out, the writers are taking chances and trying a new take on the formula. This isn't going to be a simple retread that's pumped out as a quick cash grab. That gets props from me; not scorn.
If you want to know...
Matt Smith's character, posing as a Resistance soldier is the T-5000 -- a physical manifestation of Skynet made up of nanobots. When Connor and the Resistance send Reese back in time, the T-5000 reveals itself as a cloud of nano-terminators and kills everyone in the room except Connor, who he half-infects and makes a zombie nano-terminator himself; Reese watches Connor get turned into a Terminator from the inside out as he's beginning to be sent through time.
The main villain of the entire story is Connor the zombie nano-terminator. The trailer even spoils how they defeat Connor, using the MRI machine they're diagnosing Sarah's cancer with.
The film ends with Sarah and Kyle riding off into the sunset together with her not pregnant, in an attempt to break the cycle.

A friend of a friend is working on the trailers and commercials for this, and he said that Genisys is testing incredibly poorly and the decision was made from on-high to cut a trailer that basically showed the entire story just to see if it would be enough to get people interested on a "WTF" level.
What does Skynet want anyway?
No, really. This bothered the hell out of me with the Matrix as well. In their attempts to kill one another, in both universes, humans and machines rendered the planet lifeless and scorched beyond repair.
What possible need could Skynet or the Ex Machina have to persist on a dead planet that is cooling rapidly and cannot really have any human curiosity or compulsion to go to the stars.
They're cold, dead, lifeless metal things staring at a black even deader landscape. Well congratulations, you won, what are you going to do now?
Also, machines produce the only things that can keep humans alive now in both, so if you win, you die. Good going there...

This is pretty explicitly stated in Terminator 2: When Skynet becomes self-aware and its masters attempt to shut it down, in an act of self-preservation it causes nuclear Armageddon. It continues to fight the Future War because of the same self-preservation. Skynet doesn't want to rule, it just wants to survive.
