I hear you all about the confusion with transformers movies by the end of it. I can't help but recall an interview with Michael Bay who identified himself as a post-content director. Yes, apparently that is a thing now. So he was saying in the interview that it is important in film to show spectacle without the need to attach narrative to it. No wonder his movies are often bereft of characters with depth or narrative.
Regarding terminator genysis. The trailer before the movie came out actually showed the major "plot twist". So when you see the film, you can't help but be non-plussed at the reveal. What a blunder that was. Anyway, I only count the first 2 movies. Also, I did really enjoy the Sarah Connor Chronicles TV show, touched on the interplay between using and fighting the machines really cleverly I think. Since 3, the movies have continued to build upon my disappointment for what was in the beginning an incredible post-apocalyptic universe. Such a shame.
