How Terminator "Subject" thinks of "Terminator: Genesis"

The film is full of tributes from beginning to end, such as the retro CG Arnold in T1, the T1000 in T2, and the use of elements such as car chase and helicopter, along with the iconic music to pull the old fans collectively into T1 , T2's memories, but had to ignore the story and characters of T5.

The new version of Terminator weakens the most exciting violence, horror, action and character design of T1 and T2, and enlarges the space-time design that is full of paradoxes, making the plot of the film riddled with holes, I am afraid Nolan's burning brain can't. Fill in this huge pit. On the other hand, it is also the BUG in the plot of T1 and T2 under the proposition of time and space. Why is no one complaining, because James Cameron made a sci-fi film that may lead to a brain-burning direction into a thriller action film.

In fact, the biggest failure of T5 lies in the design. It actually upgraded the T800 to a liquid state. Maybe we will never see the battle-damaged version of the T800 again. What does the battle-damaged T800 represent? It represents the visual impact of R-level production, represents the perseverance of T800, and is the key to the fans becoming the Terminator. Moreover, the upgraded T800 must be doubled in capability, but the spiritual performance of the T800 is greatly reduced. T800 is a heads-up king, but he does not rely on ability, but courage and loyalty, so T800's lack of ability is a powerful manifestation of his spiritual strength, which is exactly the opposite of Iron Man's upgraded mecha.

There is also T1000. After completing the tribute work, he was instantly killed. You must know that T1000 is the most frightening killing machine in the Terminator series. It was John Connor, the John Connor who was protected by Arnold in T2. ​​He was disabled and betrayed! It is really rare in memory that the sequel works that break the emotional output setting of the previous work like this are really rare. Such a deliberate reversal completely subverted the solid emotions laid by T1 and T2. When I saw John Connor and Arnold fighting, I couldn't help but burst into tears. In terms of hard power concept, the ability of the T5 villain is definitely stronger than that of the T1000, but his ability has a sense of deja vu, and he is exactly from the design of the T1000. The blackened John Connor is just a conceptualized T1000. In the visual display and sensory experience of its capabilities, it does not bring the aggressive sense of fear that the T1000 has, but is a scheming chatter.

Another important character in the film is Sarah Connor. This time the actor is the BUG member "Dragon Mother" in "Game of Thrones". It sounds like a ruthless character, but familiar audiences know that she is actually a human rights fighter and a guy who fights by faith, so she has kind eyes and speeches It is standard, but in the end of the world, it is courage and strength to save mankind. It is natural for the "Mother of Dragons" to be defeated by Linda Hamilton.

Looking at "Terminator: Genesis" again, in fact, except for the original formula of Arnold, it really looks like a destruction and re-creation. The upgraded Terminator Arnold is weakening Arnold's sense of existence to a certain extent. Leading the Terminator into a new era, but this is the most painful thing the Terminator series has developed so far.

When the gray-haired Terminator argues "I'm old and strong" and "I'll be back!" in the film, it's an ironic joke, and I'm disappointed that the follow-up Terminator must be boring. Blacksmithing game.

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.
