A popcorn movie with nothing new

failure is inevitable

The routine is exactly the same as before, nothing new

which is:

1. Send a villain Terminator from the future, and a helper to protect the protagonist

2. The protagonist was chased and killed inexplicably and was protected inexplicably

3. The protagonist's whole family is smashed

4. The protagonist is the future savior

5. There must be a car chase scene

6. At the end, there must be a helper who sacrifices himself to save the protagonist's role

Just the fact that the routine is exactly the same can reduce the viewing experience of old fans by half, because all the plot events are expected, what fun can there be?

Even if the routine is the same, the casting is still not enough, and further points will be deducted.

The heroine has no sense of existence, and was completely crushed by her own bodyguard Grace, in terms of appearance, height, role, and fighting. (I think the bodyguard must be different from the protagonist, such as age difference, gender difference, otherwise it will form a suppressive relationship)

The villain Terminator is also not good. He looks gentle and not ruthless. Although he is 185cm tall, he gives the impression that he is relatively short and thin, and there is no sense of oppression that a villain should have.

Arnold and Salad. Both of them are already in their 60s, so they shouldn't have to take on such a long and intense action scene. One is that it hurts to watch them, and the other is that there is no action movie to carry the banner for the old man? Under the template of the same movie, is it more fun to watch the muscular men and women pk of the first few movies?

The selection of the battlefield is not very good. In the Mexican countryside, it is really boring. Originally, the first impression of the Terminator is that it is very technological and futuristic. As a result, when I recall that Dark Fate is the desert country of Mexico, it is better to be in the United States. , In a metropolis like New York and Los Angeles, if it doesn't work, Japan and South Korea are more distinctive than this.

So to sum up, given the same routine, the selection of actors is not as good as the previous lineup, how could the film be successful? Just a boring popcorn movie

    Watch the IMAX 2D field after class. When I read it, I had mixed feelings: I am glad that Kashen's return in creation and direction has brought me back to the previous feeling as a fan of the series for many years. This is the feeling that I have lost for a while since the third story; The sad thing is that, after all, it was not Kashen himself who directly edited, directed and edited, and failed to dig deeper on the theme (otherwise, it would completely widen the distance from the first three sequels). It's right to change back to an R-rated film, and the script was written after Kashen gave the director Miller and the screenwriters an outline, and the final draft Kashen himself made some minor revisions. Therefore, I can still be satisfied with this story, at least the expression of the core characters is as close to 1 and 2 as possible, especially the return of "original genuine Sarah Connor" Linda Hamilton, which makes up for what I have been eager to give for many years. The idea of ​​a "no perfunctory" ending to the role of Sarah Connor. In addition, Arnold's T-800 in this film may be the most flesh-and-blood version of the T-800 Terminator after T2. This time, he won't be back.
