The Terminator Genisys teaser/trailer one-two combo has landed. Yesterday’s teaser showed us a T-1000-type guy on a car, Arnie with an exposed metallic arm and a seemingly Skynet-induced world war. What did today’s trailer show us?

Things kick off with Jason Clarke’s John Connor standing in the middle of what looks like the Top Gear studio addressing a bunch of humans in the Skynet-sponsored dystopian future Sarah Connor (who is played by Emilia Clarke) warned us all about. Jai Courtney’s Kyle Reese is looking on, ignorant of the fact he’s actually looking at his own son. Time travel and children don’t really mix.

Then it’s on to standard Terminator scenes of the future war with lasers and explosions and people shooting in all directions. Connor tells us, “If we die tonight, mankind dies with us.” Again, blimey. At this point, we’re only 30 seconds in and genuinely looking forward to what the next two minutes hold.

We see the moment Reese volunteers to save John Connor’s mother – and his future kind-of girlfriend – and then he gets blasted back to 1984 in a massive, and I mean massive, blue time-travel light-beam contraption. But hang on. Something weird is going on. This isn’t how it’s supposed to play out. This time, Sarah Connor – who was the meek and fairly limp lead in the original – is saving Reese, smashing into a shop and battering a terminator. Things get really weird when Arnie shows up and starts shooting at a younger CGI version of himself. Connor notes, “Everything’s changed”. No shit, Sarah.

By the looks of things, there was another terminator sent back to kill Connor when she was even younger – which, to be fair, makes sense, kind of. So the 1984 Reese originally went back to doesn’t exist. Still, some things never change. The trailer’s final shot is of Arnie saying that thing he says – “I’ll be back” – before apparently committing seppuku and jumping into the blades of a chopper. Die-hard Terminator fans will have a hard time swallowing this one, but if you want daft catch-phrases and a chance to revisit the Sarah/Kyle love tryst you’re in luck.
