In 2003, the new "Terminator" was released. It has been more than ten years since the last episode. At this time, Arnold Schwarzenegger was in his 50s and investors were still looking for it. This super tough guy came to lead. Although Cameron was no longer the director's seat at this time, Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the line, coupled with strong capital investment, still made the film the focus of attention. In the film, Connor has grown into a young man, and his actors have also changed accordingly. This has caused the phenomenon of Arnold in iron and Connor in flowing water in this series of films.

Although Schwarzenegger's muscles still look strong, the visual effects are still gorgeous, and the action scenes are still amazing. However, in the post-Cameron era, "Terminator" is no longer the outstanding leader in many aspects of the film. Although it looks very enjoyable, it no longer has that amazing feeling. With the advent of Judgment Day, the era of robots has arrived, and it also indicates that the era of Connor's leading role is coming.

    After 12 years, the third part of the "Terminator" series came out. But this one was not filmed by Cameron. It was indeed inferior. I didn't leave any deep impression after watching it. This time, “Skynet” sent the Terminator and replaced it with a female robot. This is another way to attract the audience's attention, but I didn't think this model was so beautiful. Unexpectedly, 6 years later, the "Terminator" series began a new trilogy plan

    Advanced technology allows the action and special effects part of this episode to reach the pinnacle of the series. Both visual and rhythm control are excellent, but the plot part is too poor and weak, not only due to too much "tribute" and imitation, the director is in the first half Part of the constant gagging, and adding a lot of CULT ingredients, greatly reduced the sense of apocalypse and heaviness of the entire series. Fortunately, the latter part has returned to the traditional deep tone.
