There may be a few among us that wished Robert Patricks T-1000 had silenced Edward Furlongs wimpish screams, or that Kristanna Loken had ended Nick Stahls insistent complaining or even that Roland Kickingers T-800 had been allowed to enjoy its victory upon impaling Christian Bales chest with a metal rod, but in all honesty for those that have followed the Terminator franchise closely enough, the last thing we epected to see was the day when John Connor would become the vilain by, granted unwillingly, joining forces with the genocidial machines that have haunted him his entire life. Normally such a large reveal would not even be glimpsed at in any marketing materials for such a movie, but with so much negativity being focused towards this movie Paramount Pictures are trying to reduce the shock and awe effect of the movies revelations, in the hope that beneath the constant time travelling, Terminator on Terminator action and not-so-high range visual effects, that movie goers will judge the movie for its entertainment value rather than as a bonafide hardcore Terminator franchise sequel, reset and reboot.

Analysing this poster might seem unusual but the best movie posters entice you to like the movie while keeping the content of the movie itself a mystery, one recent example of a well designed movie poster, for a movie executively produced by Terminator creator James Cameron is the 2011 Australian movie Sanctum...

This movie poster actually lies, subvertly, to the audience - the placement of the actors head, his ribbed oxygen pipe and the placement and orientation of the ellipitical shape of the underwater cavern in relation to the actors head is subconciously likened in the audiences mind to the shape of the creatures head from the Alien franchise...

In doing this the audience, subconciously at least, expects to see amovie featuring alien creatures or in some way related to the Alien franchise. Instead audiences watched a taunt, suspenseful and amazingly movie hich showcased the advancements in underwater photography, a great love of Camerons, hence his involvment with the movie.

The Terminator Genisys posters only subvertions are so common place and so formulaic however that, when combined with the unmaginative typography used for the movies title one could easily misake it for an Asylum mockbuster; be it Arnolds visage from the previous poster, the nuclear explosion over Los Angeles, or even Emilia Clarkes well placed cleavage.
