Evolution of movie animation technology: "Terminator 2" was filmed in 1991, when computer animation was just starting, and the animation technology of liquid robots was breathtaking at the time, but after 18 years of technological development, "Terminator: Dark Fate" Cinematic animation technology has been greatly developed, and various scenes are seamlessly switched.
The evolution of the connection with reality: the replacement of industrial workers by industrialized machines, the invasion of citizens’ privacy by mobile phone tracking and social surveillance, the issue of the Memer immigration separation wall, and the targeted removal of Iranian generals by drones are all reflected in the film. The combination of reality and sci-fi makes sci-fi more real.
The evolution of the rhythm of the film: The most explosive scenes of the whole film are concentrated at the beginning and the end, with a slight relaxation in the middle. The whole film controls the rhythm very well, and it is not cold and fascinating. Most of the background explanations in the film are done during the conversation in the car or on the plane, which avoids the boring feeling of having a conversation in a static scene.
The evolution of robots: T800 has really evolved, so that the platonic love that understands must also pursue the meaning of existence. For John, the world is so impermanent, the death of some people can be exchanged for the life of others. The funny T800 is no longer the same as the mechanical version of the T800. The robot has also gained freedom from the rule of Skynet, along with the ordinary American houses under the green shade, the American flag floating outside the house, and the hidden treasures. An inventory of guns and weapons, all symbols of the American spirit.
The evolution of human nature: For the future VIP, you are important, not because of your children, but because of yourself. Mecha-Bionic Warrior Grace does add another impressive role to the Terminator franchise, and the influence of the #MeToo movement that emerged in 2017 has been ubiquitous. Including the characters of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", they have all changed from the original iron and steel to the image of both rigidity and softness.
Disadvantages: Some people criticize "Terminator: Dark Fate" for its old-fashioned plot, but perhaps it is the old-fashioned plot that makes the film need not explain too much background and improves the rhythm of the film. The biggest shortcoming of this movie is that the final plane, Hummer, and dam scenes are night scenes, which are very lively, but it is very difficult to watch. I don't know why some directors are keen to shoot action scenes in dark scenes, like the train fight in the last two episodes of "Violet Evergarden", and the Battle of Winterfell in "Game of Thrones", it is said that computer effects in dark scenes save money , or the director wants to express a dark and depressing atmosphere, no matter what the reason, it feels very bad. The correct use of the dark scene would be the final night vision goggle scene in Silence of the Lambs.
