The male god is old, but the memory can be kept fresh forever

Arnold is back, to paraphrase a sentence from the movie, old but still useful. Let's talk about the rating first. The content score of this film is only 3 and a half stars. The four stars are more emotional points and Terminator feelings.

It's a sad thing to say, especially the 99% similarity between the imitation show Arnold and the real Arnold's rival scene in the title, and this real Arnold is still 20 years younger after makeup treatment. A comparison with Xiao Xianrou shows Arnold's vicissitudes. Thinking back to the first time I saw Terminator 1 on TV more than 20 years ago, Arnold in the film is at his high-spirited age, and his muscles are in the best condition. At the beginning of the film, he has a solid back like a mountain and a deadly expression. It is deeply embedded in the memory of this Sao when he was young. At that time, I deeply sighed that there is such a bodybuilding man in the world, and then began to search for his information in various bodybuilding magazines, save the magazine inserts printed with him, and put his posters on the wall. Therefore, seeing Arnold's old-fashioned face in the second half of the film makes people look quite old, but more distressed. No matter how strong a hero is, they can't resist the ravages of time. From this perspective, this film can be made into a film that pays tribute to Arnold, but it's a pity that the script and director skills are not good.

Yes, the script is really a problem, the special effects of the whole film are very dazzling, and there is almost no urine spot for two full hours, but in addition to fully stimulating the audience's visual nerves, I always feel that there is something missing, leaving no room for additional thinking. . The blank space is not in place, and the moving is not in place, and the audience has been forcibly led away by various explosive gun battles. The plot is too sloppy and the logic too far-fetched for the finale of such a series that has a place in the history of science fiction movies. The shock of Arnold's final upgrade to T1000 was much weaker than the second Rianuo slowly sinking into the steel pool.
Now, let's talk about the director. I always feel that this film is very American drama. American drama here is not a derogatory term, but TV dramas are always different from movies. The movie needs to shock the audience enough within two hours, but it needs to focus the most moving and shocking climax at a point, not just bombard the eyeballs. Taking a film like Terminator that has a deep sense of concern for the future of human beings with the Transformers sense of the whole climax will definitely disappoint, or at least make Terminator fans very disappointed. I took a look at the director Alan, who turned out to be the director of Game of Thrones. If you can make a good TV series, you may not be able to make a good movie. It seems that you need to pay tuition fees to cross the border.

It is very, very regrettable that this film that had the potential to become a classic was turned into a mediocre Hollywood blockbuster. But I still recommend everyone to watch it, because the sadness of watching the old hero is far more touching than the movie itself. Time is ruthless, it can erase the hero's vigor, make him wrinkled, gray hair, and muscles can't be as firm as youth, but it will never erase the memory that the hero once brought us, and the longer it goes, this kind of existence The shock in my heart became more and more powerful.

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.
