AceShowbiz - Arnold Schwarzenegger visited hundreds of Marines at Camp Pendleton, Sunday, June 14, to give them a first look at his latest movie "Terminator Genisys". The movie was premiered at the Vandegrift Boulevard cinema two weeks ahead of its nationwide release on July 1.

Schwarzenegger got warm greetings from his fans as he took photos with them, shook hands, and signed autographs for them. Marine Gabriel Parks, a big fan of Schwarzenegger, was so excited because he finally met his favorite actor. "He's my hero. He's gotten me through a lot that I've done in the Marine Corps, thinking about him and what he's gone through and everything he's done," he praised Schwarzenegger. He also said that Schwarzenegger had motivated him through everything.

Besides Park, there were hundreds of fans of the former governor smiling and yelling as they could not believe that it was their idol coming to them and giving them present. One of Schwarzenegger's fanatic fans came to the cinema at 6 A.M. for the 3:30 P.M. showing. Some of them were seen wearing special costumes for the movie screening.

Before screening the movie, Schwarzenegger thanked the military men and women for their commitment and contribution for the United States. "This is the land of opportunity and the greatest county in the world because of you," Schwarzenegger said while addressing the audiences.

The actor later posted a 10-second video on his Facebook page to share the moment and to thank the Marines for their service. "I was so proud to make the Marines at United States Marine Corps Camp Pendleton the first audience in the nation to see Terminator Genisys today. Thank you for your service," he captioned the video.
