Sci-fi movies are always one of the most fascinating movie genres, and as the leader in American sci-fi movies, the "Terminator" series has gained countless fans over the past 30 years.
From the release of the first Terminator movie "Future Warrior" to the recent release of the fifth Terminator "Terminator: Genesis", an apocalyptic scenario in which a post-nuclear machine rules the world is perfectly presented to the audience.
The latest release of "Terminator: Genesis" is a continuation of the first four Terminator films in terms of plot, and it can also be regarded as a restart of the Terminator story. When mankind finally won the war after a difficult struggle, just like the story Connor had already known, Skynet sent a Terminator to return to assassinate Connor's mother Sarah in 1984, so Connor sent his biological father Reese came to the past to protect Sarah and ensure her own birth. Everything seems to be a remake of the first Terminator, but things are not so simple. In "Genesis", in the moment when Reese goes back to the past, a history different from what Connor knew happened - Skynet of the last fight Sneak into the crowd and assassinate Connor. The sturdy and powerful Sarah Connor, the aging T-800, the strange and unpredictable T-1000, the transformed John Connor... Back in the past, Reese found that he was in this era It wasn't the past that Connor had told him about.
As Connor told Sarah before Reese went back to the past: "The future is not a foregone conclusion, there is no destiny, but we can make it for ourselves. You have to be stronger than you think you are, and you have to live. , or I'll never exist." Reese came to a 1984 he never imagined, a 1984 reset, a 1984 that turned his worldview upside down. "I know what it's like to have no choice." When Reese lost his fighting spirit because of John Connor's depravity, it was Sarah who gave him the courage to persevere. Two people who were not meant to deal with it completed their fate at this moment. fusion on.
When Schwarzenegger's T-800 said "Nice to meet you" to Reese and simulated a smile, how many people remembered the same person in the desert in "Terminator 2" 24 years ago. Cold smile? Saying from his mouth, "I'm old, but not obsolete." This is not only an affirmation of T-800 to himself, but also an affirmation of Schwarzenegger to himself. Sixty is the sixtieth year, and face to face. For too many doubts about himself, Schwarzenegger chose to dress up and return to the big screen to prove that his sword was not old with practical actions, and let the Terminator shine again.
As a new work in the "Terminator" series, "Terminator: Genesis" has many places in director Alan Taylor's tribute to the creator of the "Terminator" series James Cameron. For example, the scene where Connor walks out of the fire after his outer skin is destroyed is surprisingly similar to the T-1000 stepping out of the fire in "Terminator 2", while the chase scene on the bridge is similar to the last scene in "Terminator 2". The chase is also somewhat similar, as J.K. Simmons, who played the psychiatrist in the first three films, also makes an appearance in this one, and plays a police detective who has a relationship with Reese.
In general, although the film "Terminator: Genesis" is not outstanding, it is not a bad film. The heavy pressure has given the film momentum and also brought a lot of trouble. The top three The success of this Terminator movie made the subsequent "Terminator: 2018" and "Terminator: Genesis" face too much rigor. In fact, a series is bound to not be evergreen forever, and no matter how brilliant an era is, there will be times when it will go downhill. One day, don't be too strict with the new Terminator movie, and leave a hope for future generations.
