A special Christmas contest celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Terminator, was recently announced.

The Terminator Fans is running a competition for fans, which was declared on December 25, and the prizes are pretty special. They include books, Terminator Salvation The Official Movie Companion and Titan Books 'Terminator Salvation - Cold War by Greg Cox' and also games themed around the Terminator by Reef entertainment.

In other related news, Skydance productions, the studio behind Terminator: Genisys, announced that it was looking to promote the choicest fan art for the movie.

The production company called for fan art via its Facebook page, asking fans to send in their artwork for the movie and the impressive stuff will be regrammed and retweeted by the them. "Do you have ‪#‎Terminator‬ drawings, memes and art work that you want to show us? Post it to Instagram or Twitter and tag @skydance in your post. We will be retweeting and regramming our favorite fan art!" The post states.

While this move is very encouraging, some fans have also been mocking the trailer for the film which recently released. A new parody for the trailer of Terminator: Genisys has gone viral online and echoes the views of a lot of critics who were disappointed by the preview.

According to a new report, critics have been left unimpressed by the first trailer for the film, which was recently unveiled, and also believe it is confusing.

The parody, which has been titled the Paradox Edition, puts a spin on the trailer, and re-edits it by also using bits from previous Terminator trailers. The clip is hilarious and pokes fun at John Connor (Jason Clarke), who keeps sending Terminators back to earth, to little avail, as he needs to send them again and again with every movie, and that too a less advanced Terminator to fight the technologically evolved T-800s that are being sent by Skynet. In the official trailer John is actually seen sending his father Kyle Reese to save his mother Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke). The parody overlays the dialogue and has John saying that this is awkward for him, and jokes about having to send Kyle to earth without a pair of pants.

The release of the trailer of Genisys was followed by the unveiling of the first poster for the movie featuring Emilia.

The poster captures the back of Sarah, who clings on to a the skull of a T-800, in a sunlit corn field. The image looks quite poetic, with the metal skull of the deadly exoskeleton posing as the anomaly.

A website also drew a comparison between this and the Transformers poster, drawing similarities in comparison. Slash Film unveiled a mashup of the two posters to demonstrate its point, observing that the way Mark Wahlberg's portrait is set against a sunny maze field, Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor is also postured in a similar setting, her hand clinging onto the skull of a T-800.
