8 Key Takeaways From The Terminator: Genisys Trailer

5) The T-1000

Robert Patrick’s T-1000 is long gone, after perishing in the molten steel at the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. One thing this revamped, sassy Sarah didn’t seem to know was that there’d be another one interfering in her plans to slap some sense into Courtney’s doe-eyed Kyle and save the world from Skynet.

This updated version (played by Byung-hun Lee) looks to be treading down the same path. Stoic, mute, and deadly, crashing through a warehouse window he spins across the floor, taking a barrage of firepower from Sarah and Kyle. There doesn’t appear to be any upgrades to his basic technology though. It can still turn into sharp, stabbing weapons and heal itself instantly. It would have been nifty to see some new skills showcased here, as it’s likely that this is a newer model – like the T-1001 from The Sarah Connor Chronicles series.
