old but not useless

I think the title line should be the most impressive to the audience. The Terminator is one of Schwarzenegger's famous works, and it has almost become the symbol and symbol of this movie. When saying this line, in addition to the meaning in the film's plot, it also expresses Schwarzenegger's ridicule as an actor. Although I am old, I am still a tough guy and can still act in movies. The degree also represents the fate of this movie. As a sequel to "Terminator", the movie's creativity and theme plot are already old, but perhaps it has not been abandoned. For the core audience who have a complex in "Terminator", as well as the new generation of movie audiences who have not seen "Terminator", they will still win a certain degree of market box office. Lao Shi retired from the position of governor and took up the filming of "The Last Stand" and "Escape Plan", and then the sequel to this famous film. Usually I don't like sequels to movies, unless the script or the original is a trilogy or a pre-built system, such as "Star Wars", "Lord of the Rings". However, if the first film is a big success and a sequel is made, it is because the entire structure is not conceived at the beginning, and there is not enough space for the sequel, just because of the success of the box office and the market, I hope to make a fortune through the sequel. Too heavy, and usually the movie doesn't look good.

The sequel to "Terminator" by Genesis, the story still starts from the war between humans and machines, which can not only evoke the memories of old audiences, but also explain the background of the story to new audiences. Humans regard it as a threat to themselves, and as a result, a nuclear war was launched. The beautiful world that used to be full of joy and hope was destroyed like this. The remaining human beings lurked like little mice to avoid the pursuit of machines. John Connor became a prophet-like leader, leading mankind. The insurgents fought against the machines and eventually destroyed Skynet's core server, but failed to prevent Skynet from throwing T-800 humanoid killers into history through the time-traveling machine, so the core member of the insurgents, Kyle Reese, voluntarily returned to 1984. Los Angeles in 2000 prevents the machine from killing John Connor's mother Sarah, but while teleporting, John Connor is infected by a latent robot, which leaves a foreshadowing for his appearance as the villain. Back in 1984, Kyle thought he was going to save Sarah, who knew nothing, but found that Sarah and Dad already knew the fate of the future, and they were the first to kill T-, who was sent back from Kyle's era. 800 robot, and then rescued Kyle from the liquid robot T-1000. It turns out that history has changed. In the process of time transmission, Kyle has memories of two timelines. The world view is introduced here. The rest is that Kyle follows Sarah and Daddy weakly, evading the pursuit of the robot T-1000. After a series of drag racing battles, he killed T-1000 with sulfuric acid in the pre-arranged basement. The liquid robot has always been the big villain in Terminator. The main villain in the first few films was not expected to be killed in the third half of the movie, which means that there must be bigger new villains to appear.

According to Sarah and Dad's calculations, they will be teleported to the future organization Skynet to activate. This is the emotional scene in the middle of the battle scene. Sarah knows that in her destiny, she must combine with Kyle before giving birth to the future human resistance army. Leader John Connor. Although Kyle Reese has a good impression of Sarah, she does not know this doomed love and destiny. The two teleported to 2017, blocking Skynet the day before it launched. Next will be lightning on the freeway, stupid and clueless cops arresting them, and then the sudden appearance of John Connor, who tells the truth that Kyle Reese is his father, even though John Connor knows Sarah and Kyle's All things can prove that he is indeed John Connor, but the audience may still have a big question mark in their hearts, until Dad appeared and shot him without hesitation. At this point, John Connor, who was infected by Skynet at the cellular level, was the biggest When the villain officially debuted, I had long thought that his face with scars was weird. Sure enough, this is an era of looking at faces. If you look ugly, you should prepare to be a bad guy. Needless to say, in the subsequent battle, the decent side was always at a disadvantage, until Dad jumped into the time-space transmission machine with him in his arms. In fact, I want to say that when Dad's head fell into the alloy liquid pool, I knew that He would come back. As usual, after the entire Genesis Center was destroyed, the Easter eggs at the end of the film still have to leave a clue for the sequel.

The whole teleconference is fundamentally lost in the subject matter and creativity, because it is a cold meal for "Terminator", it is difficult to break through the original framework and creativity, although Kyle Reese established John Connor's father in the plot. In fact, John Connor has become the biggest villain, but these cannot change the obsolete rhetoric of the electric topic, plus "The Terminator" was originally a film with light science fiction and heavy fighting, I am afraid that the audience will buy the robot fighting part, Schwarzenegger The father played by Grid is still quite outstanding. The female protagonist is the dragon girl in "Game of Thrones". I have always liked her very much, but the male protagonist is really not handsome or likable. The whole movie can't provide the success and surprises of the year, just repeat the past stories in more refined filmmaking, and those fights that are not too new.

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.
