Should No Arnold Schwarzenegger and "Terminator" These two great feelings cards, you will certainly find that left James Cameron's "Terminator: Genesis" is a disaster Sexual, messy logic of the play and streamlined Hollywood special effects make the whole process full of tediousness and mediocrity. When a sequel is already uncreative, why create a century? !

It is impossible to abandon the original past, but also hope to create a new story, so that the name "Genesis" becomes a joke. Feelings are a good card, but old audiences cannot forever indulge in a confrontation more than ten years ago. In the tribute to his works, and for new audiences who have no feelings to lay the foundation, he cannot and has no interest in reading these retrospective tributes one after another, which makes it difficult for the complex plot to capture the audience's interest at the beginning. After this time, Alan Taylor obviously did not have the ability to forge a Cameron-like depth of content. When the setting that was intended to show the depth was difficult to present ingeniously, the plot of "Terminator: Genesis" and the characters The relationship also turned into an unbearable dog blood.

Feelings are a good card, but they have not been put to good use. On the premise that "Terminator: Genesis" is difficult to please new audiences, the deletion and modification of the old timeline is a particularly fatal criticism, which makes this work will It is difficult for him to put the previous series into a system, and the reference to future movies is particularly obvious. After breaking the inherent time limit, none of the Terminators can really give people the impression of "Genesis", but there are countless loopholes. It is also intolerable from the perspective of a senior Terminator movie fan, and it should be done in order to win a larger audience, weakening or even giving up the violent rendering of the "Terminator" series of signs, from the visual perception This new work, which has been away for more than ten years, has lost the visual impact of the previous work.

Although the Terminator has not really started a new century, for Arnold Schwarzenegger, his acting skills have not declined with age. The only commendable aspect of the movie is the former veteran's performance. Fighting on the screen again, he is still the same Terminator of the past, and on the visual level, although he lacks the usual impact, in the production of the overall special effects, there is still a high level of Hollywood, as a film. For the "Terminator" series of movies, this is the worst follow-up, but as a popcorn movie, the combination of an old hero and special effects can still be regarded as a qualified popcorn movie.

After the restart, "Terminator: Genesis" is a powerless successor, with a pale rendering of empty feelings. It is difficult to see the former Cameron and Arnold's strong combination of that hearty classic, and what remains is only a tribute. feelings.

Terminator Genisys quotes

  • Garbage Man: [the garbage truck's engine stops] What the hell? Goddamn son of a bitch...

  • [first lines]

    Kyle Reese: [narrating] Before they died, my parents told me stories about how the world once was; what it was like long before I was born; before the war with the machines. They remembered a green world, vast and beautiful, filled with laughter and hope for the future. It's a world I never knew. By the time I was born, all this was gone.

    Kyle Reese: "Skynet," a computer program designed to automate missile defense. It was supposed to protect us, but that's not what happened. August 29th, 1997, Skynet woke up. It decided all of humanity was a threat to its existence.

    [scenes of mass destruction]

    Kyle Reese: It used our own bombs against us. Three billion people died of nuclear fire.

    Kyle Reese: Survivors called it Judgement Day. People lived like rats in shadows, hiding, starving, or worse, captured and put into camps for extermination. I was born after Judgement Day, into a broken world ruled by the machines. The worst were infiltration units that posed as humans. We called them Terminators.

    John Connor: [finding young Kyle in subterranean tunnels] Are there others down here?

    Kyle Reese: And then one man found me. His name was John Connor, and he changed everything. John showed us how to fight back; how to rise up. He freed prisoners. He taught us how to slash the machines to scrap. People whisper about John and wonder how he can know the things he does. They use words like prophet. But John's more. We're here because tonight, he's going to lead us to crush Skynet for good.
