oh, it's back

Both the old governor and Stallone are real men, this is what Contra told us. I also really want to be a real man, carry a gun, ah no, pick up the mouse and start commanding the marines to fight the zerg. But the philosophical programmer Nakaichi said: Even so, I am still a funny guy, and a funny guy is doomed to be lonely for life.

But after I watched "Terminator: Genesis", I found that Kyle Reese was also very funny. I wanted to protect the tender and delicate girl who only cared about rent and tuition in 1984, but I met a thousand times more handsome than myself. The Li Bingxian, who met the old governor who was a thousand times stronger than himself, met the female man who was a thousand times stronger than himself and smashed the Terminator with a gun. But he still doubles up with Sarah Connor's transformed unfilial son, and ends up driving to far-flung places with the old governor.

You ask me the plot? Oh, that's it for the above paragraph.

Watching this movie, you can either seize the old stalks that Cameron used in 1984, such as time travel, parallel world, and human-computer integration, but this time there are more timelines, and parallel worlds appear. Collapse, the savior was also ruined into a low-value villain.

Or sell your feelings. Feelings are sometimes worthless and sometimes very valuable. How to judge depends on the gold content of such feelings and the impact on a person. "Terminator 2" is the first step for many people to contact science fiction movies, and the liquid metal robot in the film has also become a childhood nightmare for many people. The Skynet world created by James Cameron and the "Savior" John Connor are the holy places where countless sci-fi concepts were born. Kubrick made sci-fi movies enter the art hall, George Lucas made sci-fi movies have box office, Spielberg made sci-fi movies gain expectations, and Cameron made sci-fi movies come to the side. In the 1990s, "Terminator 2" and "Jurassic Park" became films with a cost of 100 million yuan and brought huge global box office revenue, and these two films were sown in the hearts of young audiences. Seeds of imagination with great power. The success of "Terminator: Genesis" and "Jurassic World" in the Chinese market is not only a recognition of the excellent production of imported films, but also an echo of inner feelings.

T-800, shotgun, motorcycle, sunglasses, battle-damaged image, and the phrase "I'll be back", this is the sign of the old governor. A real man just wants to keep his head in the earth-shattering battle, smash his forehead, knock down the wall, reveal the mechanical mechanism, and continue to fight. This world does not require everyone to do this, because the T-800 does not feel pain after all. Robot. But in the face of terror, he was still bombarding with guns, watching the enemy quickly return to his original shape and insisting on not giving up. This is what a real man should do. This is also the feeling of watching "Terminator 2" when I was a child. No matter what kind of monster he is, the shotgun is king.

Among the five films in the Terminator series, the first and second films are works that can exist independently and do not need a sequel to supplement the plot; while the third film's parody and repetition have consumed the audience's attention. Patience; with a production cost of 170 million US dollars and Batman Bell's fourth film clearly put the story on the big battlefield, it can have sufficient vision and huge pattern construction, but the special effects of the film are made into ordinary A-level films, The plot turns into shit.

The setbacks of the third and fourth films did not dampen the enthusiasm of the film company, so the fifth film with endless reversals finally appeared in front of people after 6 years. It can be said that "Terminator: Genesis" is much better than the third and fourth films, at least it has carefully constructed a new plot and a robot killer, but the nano-robots cannot be brought to the extreme like the liquid metal robots of the year. Horror and despair, the talkative John Connor, in addition to his scary appearance, was beaten by the old governor and his parents in various ways, the MRI medical machine came, the grenade came, the helicopter crashed, the magnetic glove came, Here comes the laser cutter, here comes the time machine explosion. In addition to being resistant to fighting, this villain does not have a strong deterrent that can grasp the hearts of the audience. When creating villains in movies, directors and editors often need to create a character with a strong deterrent effect. This character can seem harmless to humans and animals, but he can make the hearts of the decent and the audience can't help but produce invincible tremors and fears , although you still have a chance, but this ray of hope will be fleeting. Only in this way can the villain be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At the end of the movie, the protagonists defeated Skynet, but according to the usual urine of the Terminator series, I am afraid that "Judgment Day" has been postponed again. As for the mysterious man who transported the old governor to 1973, it will inevitably appear in the next episode. Who is still struggling to fight in a future where John Connor has been transformed? This pit, the director needs to think carefully before filling it in. The new movie has too many foreshadowings. If the director cannot complete the task of completing the plot or justifying himself in the sequel, then this restarted version of the Terminator series will only be reduced to a tool for making money.
Harsh for this movie, just what to expect from the Terminator franchise. In this era of special effects bombing, the special effects in "Genesis" can only be regarded as excellent, but they are no longer comparable to the shock brought by various handmade models and real objects many years ago. The shock of shooting with real objects and the sincerity to the audience are exactly why Nolan's Batman and "Interstellar", George Miller's "Mad Max 4", and the sci-fi classic "Star Wars" series are sought after one of the reasons.

But as an old viewer, I think most people are still very excited to see the old governor coming back, at least I am very excited. To me, The Terminator is not the Terminator without the old governor. He is back now, although old, but not useless.

Oh, back again. Remember to come back more often.

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.
