I was discussing this recently with someone. I feel that as the franchise continues, their good action films but bad Terminator stories. Genisys was the low point for me so far.
It feels like the Star Wars problem, we've had nine films based around the Skywalker's and look how that ended up. I feel that Terminator needs to drop the John Connor anchor and approach from a different angle
I know John Connor is the centre of the franchise lore but I feel we've exhausted that avenue of story telling. Although I just remembered they killed him off in the beginning of Dark Fate but that film still had issues.
