31 years ago, in 1984, Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Terminator" was the villain Terminator robot T-800, returning from the future 2029 In the same year, Sarah Connor, the mother of John Connor, the human leader who was chasing and killing the human leader who resisted the rule of artificial intelligence "Skynet", came to "Terminator 2" (1991), and he became the protector of Sarah in 1997. T-800, protect Sarah, against the extremely powerful mercury robot T-1000. From the first installment, we couldn't accept a Terminator series without Arnold, so much so that in Terminator 4: The Salvation Army (2009), when Arnold was governor, we put a computer-generated Arnold. Now Arnold has finally returned to the movie world from his political career. In "Terminator 5: Genesis", he turned out to be the fatherly robot "Dad", and killed his evil Terminator T-800 as soon as he appeared.
"Back to 1984", "Let's go to 1997", "The birth of Skynet in 2017", the future soldiers came back in love with Sarah to have a child, the cool and handsome Mercury Killer, went out naked in the pose of a contemplative and " "I will be back" these previous allusions, close to 2017 today, have a nostalgic effect that can awaken the memory of the fans of the Terminator series, and in 2017, the setting of Skynet to tempt people to rely on the Internet with "Genesis" will actually cause us to A sense of looming crisis. However, the tribute details and complex time clues of the film did not have the effect of blending with the main body of the film. We might as well put aside these convoluted settings and only appreciate the emotional collision between Arnold and the other three people under the blood entanglement.
Whether it was the stunning and terrifying Robert Patrick back then, or the current South Korean Oppa Lee Byung-hun, they have all successfully created a cold-blooded robot killer. However, the justice robot played by Arnold is different. Although he is unsmiling, he has the cuteness of trying to get close to humans. He has developed to the stage of "father", and he has been able to stage a fight and run-in "Meet Father-in-law" with his future son-in-law Kyle Reese. "The drama is over. There is a very interesting plot where the two secretly compare the speed of the bullets, and the "Old, but not useless" he always remembers can be used to sum up the action star's life like a drama.
The relationship between John Connor and his father, Kyle Reese, is very delicate. In the future world, he not only raised his father silently, but also served as a matchmaker for his father and mother. The play of beating up the son adds humor, but in the end, the grandfather, "Dad", has to come forward to handle it. Sarah and Kyle's love also gave birth to a sense of romance because of Sarah's struggle against fate - if I love you, you can't escape the fate of quick death. Jay Courtney, who played Kyle, is a dazzling villain in the "Divergent" series. This time as the leading actor is also a breakthrough opportunity for this "walking hormone" star. Just, when will we usher in the next Arnold-level action movie icon?

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.
