and not just any terminator sequel but the '3rd' movie with Linda/Arnold and Cameron returning...

yet theres never been a post T2 Terminator sequel with less impact/under the radar than this one (not even Genisys)

yeah sad. T345 destroyed the franchise.

I'll argue Terminator 3 and Salvation didn't completely destroy the franchise. May not have been as good as the first 2, but the box office was decent and both had their fair share of fans and defenders. Genysis however was the nail in the coffin. Rise of the Machines and Salvation in general had a lukewarm reception, but after Genysis, many people just gave up and never looked back.

Genysis was actually pretty decent, much better than T3 and Salvation. It's just that movie studios care only for money and most people have zero taste in movies.

Genysis was actually pretty decent, much better than T3 and Salvation.

The overwhelming majority was turned off by that movie though. Just like how the TV series might have a loyal fanbase, but the fact it went from 18 million viewers to struggling to keep 3 million viewers by season 2 makes it kind of obvious many people didn't like it and was turned away. Many people view Genysis as the worst out of the films, and ask anyone in person if they ever seen the Terminator films or even online. If they were able to make it past T3, TSCC and TS, TG was definitely the breaking point for them and why they stopped caring about Terminator.

It's just that movie studios care only for money and most people have zero taste in movies.

No arguments here, though in this landscape greedy movie studios and people having zero taste pretty much goes hand in hand. Just ask Disney who single handily can make this claim.

genisys is my third favorite film of terminators. i missed it in the cinema though.T3 pretty much killed my interest for the franchise.
