While James Cameron gave us the first TERMINATOR and TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY, he actually had little-to-nothing to do with any of the sequels that followed, not even the newest movie TERMINATOR: GENISYS.

Check it out below. It’s been interesting seeing fan response to the trailers that have hit so far, as many seem to be upset about the way it re-imagines the first movie’s story. Does James Cameron’s seal of approval change that perception? We’ll all find out if he’s right in about a month.
