Terminator Genisys trailer: Arnold Schwarzenegger says 'I'll be back', commits suicide

The Terminator is back and it has everything to do with saving Earth and nothing to do with big sacks of money

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The trailer for Terminator Genisys is here, and don't worry, Arnold Schwarzenegger says that thing he always says.

After a brief sojourn in politics Arnie is back to doing what he does best, walking calmly away from explosions and firing more bullets than is strictly necessary.

The trailer takes a long time to get to the T-800 money shot though, first you have to sit through a load of time travel mumbo jumbo and awful pre-apocalyptic battle dialogue like "If we die tonight, mankind dies with us." Eeesh.

Sarah Connor is then introduced (yes, that's Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones) as we lurch from the future, where everyone shoots guns and lasers all the time, to the past, where everyone shoots guns all the time but lasers not so much.

"I've been waiting for you" Arnie declares, in a feeble attempt at a new catchphrase, though fans get what they came for at the trailer's close, when he says "I'll be back" before taking a glorious swan dive into helicopter blades.

The plot? I don't know, something about going back in time to save your mum and therefore yourself and therefore humanity. Film is out 1 July, 2015.
