First of all, I declare that this film review of mine was created because of a serious disappointment from the bottom of my heart, and it is definitely not black for black.
To be honest, from Terminator 1 to Terminator. Genesis, I have watched every one. Although the sequel after the peak of the second part has indeed gone downhill, at least every time I say to myself "at least the scene looks good", For the flaws in the plot, it is also tolerantly attributed to the fact that the future world set in the first film limits the room for the director and screenwriter to play. The so-called "dojo in a snail shell" is indeed difficult. And the appearance of the fifth part, on the one hand, is happy because of the return of the governor, on the other hand, I can't help but guess that since the plot has a new structure, it will develop better in the future. Most Terminator fans think the same way as I do. And this time, because Cameron himself said that he wanted to create a real Terminator 3, I have very high expectations for this movie. Everyone knows the reason, so there is no need to say more.
So my attitude towards this film is very strict. To what extent? When it was released in theaters, due to various reasons such as hospitalization, surgery and other reasons, it could not be seen until the release, so I simply sat and waited for Youku to release the film. No interruptions before viewing.
So I finally finished watching it on Youku today, and in order to avoid misunderstanding, I watched it twice in a row (so it should be said that I watched it yesterday). I finally confirmed that this is not a misunderstanding. To put it mildly, I really didn't understand what Cameron was trying to express. To put it bluntly, this is really bad! I won't comment on special effects and action scenes. The so-called incomprehensible is entirely about the plot.
1. As a work known as "The Real Terminator 3", it must be connected with the second plot, right? Then since the chip in the second part was destroyed, the data was blown up, the robotic arm was melted, the engineer died, and even the governor sacrificed himself, everyone can welcome a bright future with peace of mind, so why is there a new Terminator? How can this hapless future be saved? Obviously every time Skynet sends a killer over, John Connor will send a rescuer, why didn't he respond this time? So did Skynet get wiped out first or Connor got wiped out first? In the third part, there is a reason for the delay of data retention research and development, and in the fifth part, there is a theory of parallel spaces. After you Cameron despised them all, you just don’t care about anything? It's really a fairy-tale style that turns stone into gold.
2. The fact that the young John Connor was killed was created at the beginning of the film. As the killer, T800 (the governor) had successfully completed the task. Why does Skynet continue to send new Terminators? Just to relieve the hatred of Sarah who lost her son? Taking a step back, even if these Terminators came to kill others, such as new human leaders, why did the governor believe that Sarah could complete the sniping as long as she provided the time and coordinate information? After all, during the previous fight Sarah has never won the governor single-handedly! Taking a step back, if John Connor dies, there will be a new leader, even Sarah herself, what is the use of chasing and killing John before the net that day, why does the governor not kill Sarah when he kills John?
3. How did the unfortunate system of the Legion come out, and when did it replace the status of Skynet? You must know that Skynet was still sending Terminators to level up Sarah, and the governor obviously did not know the existence of the Legion. How did the two futures connect? Is it the same as the fifth part, the future interlaced time and space interfere? Cameron, don't you like this setting?
4. If a system is eliminated, a new system will take its place, and every time the artificial intelligence system develops to the extent that it will destroy human beings, is Cameron trying to express the ultimate philosophy that human beings will eventually self-destruct ? Then it's still laborious to save the wool, isn't it bad to wait for death?
5. When Grace talked to Sarah for the first time in the hotel room, she was proud to say that she was a modified person who had been strengthened and powered by a small nuclear reactor, which meant that it was easy to kill Sarah, but the problem was the audience. We've just seen the unfortunate appearance of her dying after a short outbreak, how do you want me to believe this thing is nuclear power? And the treasure that she relies on to maintain her combat power is actually a lot of prescription drugs. Is the future super combat power just such a medicine jar? Not to mention that these medicines can only be extracted by high-tech equipment, and how can the future rebels obtain them. Anyway, they are enemies of computers and can use computers at the same time (I believe no one will think that the rebels can make them without the help of computers. All kinds of weapons and vehicles), just this scene of taking drugs while fighting, can't bear to look directly at it, the so-called super combat power, is it because of the high?
6. Grace came back to save the future leader, but her combat power was not enough. Even if a few people fought to death in a group, they could not kill the new Terminator. It was not until the end that she said that her power core can defeat the enemy and win. Not to mention whether this is the same as the nuclear battery setting in the third part, since only this thing can be used and can be brought here, how about you hide two more in your body?
7. T800 uses human tissue as the outer skin. This was mentioned in the second part, but it was only from the perspective of healing ability. As for aging like a real person, it is the theory officially put forward in the fifth part, which is used to match the age of the governor. But Cameron, don't you agree with the plots of the next few episodes? Why did you use this concept without any explanation?
There is one more thing that must be said. The governor said goodbye to his family and said that he would not come back. Can't you show such a good plot directly? Do you have to change it to the way she told Sarah and the others? Cameron, you are also a top director. Don't you know that there is a world of difference in the appeal of the two expressions?
I originally wanted to give 3 stars, but for the cowhide that Cameron bragged, I must deduct an extra star, otherwise I'm really afraid of your pride!
