Sure enough, the Terminator sequel can't be made well

The first half is so brainless that it can be directly characterized as a bad movie. Finally started playing the man-machine father-son stalk. What's the difference between 2017 and 1997? Can't we live through 1997 and live for 20 years with such a big event as saving mankind? It's just to make money for speedsters and tranny fans. This year's live-action blockbusters are almost all bad, but the box office is good. Could it be that they all have the pulse of the brain-dead market? The next Star Wars is rumored to have Jiang Wen's cameo, so it can be seen that it is also in command of the box office, so it must be bad. Did you

notice that 45 played a lot of old memes (3 I don't have a deep impression on me), and 45 also pulled the governor to change his eyeballs. I remember saying that the box office of 3 was very bad, maybe the IP copyright holder was woken up by 3 and recalled the taste - this IP is not easy to play, it is better to sell feelings to make insurance.

4's script has been overhauled, and the legendary original script is said to be "dark". In fact, it's dark, isn't it that Jiao Kangner was killed, and then a robot who always thought he was a human disguised himself as Jiao Kang and continued to lead the human resistance army - tell me, the well-informed, what's so good about this idea Novel? 2 If you only rely on the idea of ​​"the robot thinks that it needs to eliminate all AI chips to save human beings through logical analysis, so it commits suicide", what kind of praise can you get? ? 2 It depends on a lot of solid flesh and blood, from the scene to the true feelings, to make the idea stand up. 4 Even if it is shot according to the original script, people must always think it is a good film until they see the ending, and only when they finally shake off that burden can people feel that it is a divine film, otherwise, even the brain-dead audience such as fast-moving and transgender fans They won't like it, because they can't understand the subtle ideas, then 4 will be nothing.


I still have the same opinion: 1 is the basis of B-grade films, relying on the contemporary and novelty of the subject matter, super-level stunts, Arnold The image and temperament of the game was won by luck; 2 is a classic obtained by chance (this IP can dig out the tense atmosphere from beginning to end, which is not surprising, who would have thought that it could be so touching and real and restrained (without adding emotional attributes to AI) , this is the most touching human-machine father-son relationship? So for this IP, this time is also considered a lucky win), and the countless winning factors can still be integrated with each other, such as the unprecedented The special effects soundtrack of no one and the tense and thrilling atmosphere that runs through the whole film are a perfect match. Another example is that the liquid robot itself has been regarded as the top excellent setting in the history of science fiction. Greatly increased the tension and thrilling atmosphere of the whole film.

Digression: 1 and 2 both have the temperament of horror films, especially 1, and many other good things are integrated into the temperament of 2, so the proportion of horror films is low. Of course, this does not mean that the temperament of horror films is equal to good.

So this set itself is not easy to dig into the classics, and it can become a classic by something else. So can the sequel succeed in an entertaining route (not referring to box office success)? The story background of this IP is dignified, and it is not easy to follow the classic routine of the brainless popcorn commercial blockbuster of Speed ​​7.

Besides, what's the setting for this movie? Nuclear bombs kill the world. It's a cold war meme. You have watched blockbusters in the past ten years, except for superheroes. Others want to save/destroy the world are horrible shit papers, nuclear bombs are stolen one or two, just like real terrorist attacks - think about it again 1 The era of a hit. Do you understand? Yes! How can today's brain-dead audiences know what the Cold War is, and they don't feel anything about nuclear warheads flying all over the sky. If you shoot this again, everyone will be like "Dad, what are they doing?" Even the superheroes and monster films in the past two years (well, they used to be) have to destroy a few real cities, the kind that everyone looks familiar even if they haven't been there.

1 What year is it? At that time, the audience, you said that mankind's own nuclear ballistic missiles destroyed mankind itself, without the need for screen narration, everyone immediately felt it; in 2, a little city destruction scene + kindergarten barbecue close-up (actually a small playground and children), The era is not too far from the Cold War, and the audience is particularly impressed; 5...

I haven't seen the dog and the man enter the time machine, but Reese has started to take off his pants (shoes?), and the little girl has not started to follow The governor is parting from life and death - the **** people came to save you when you were 9 years old, and now you are a teddy bear, you should have feelings, sister, who is the AI ​​between you and the governor? If you think about the separation of life and death later, then I tell you, sister, it is too late, you are no longer human. Maybe people set up that they will come back after completing the task, and maybe they think this can explain why they have to argue about which year to go instead of going for a year and then waiting. Unfortunately, it still doesn't make sense.


Predict that someone will cut Darth Vader "I Am Your Dad" in. But maybe because it's too bad, it can't even attract spoof people.

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.
