"Terminator 5": 60 points. I didn't expect this blockbuster to be so ugly!

I also counted at least 200 commercial blockbusters in the cinema. I really didn't expect that this "Terminator 5" was so jerky, so ugly, and so fractured, it was really bad. The score is passable, but the visual effects, the directing ability, the dialogue and the scene design are really not good enough.

The score is only 60 points, and it is not recommended to go to the cinema.

1. Script: Although there is a tribute to 1 and 2, it is actually a complete overhaul.

The storyline seems to be a test of IQ, but it actually mixes the first four parts together, completely overturning the original apocalyptic timeline and re-editing. This kind of overhaul is not good enough, it makes me feel very blunt, and it destroys the previous plot settings. In the comments of other netizens, it is called "the concept of the timeline is too sloppy and completely illogical."

Digression: I think the assumption that "the future can be changed at will", if you can't give me a good explanation in the film, I will not approve it, I will think that you are fooling the audience at will.

Second, the plot setting: is to feel "dull".

It’s okay if the script is blunt. After all, the plots of many blockbusters are mediocre, as long as there are a few scenes that look good. It's a pity that this movie didn't even meet the most basic requirements. Now that I recall, I can't recommend any bridges, but I think it was well done.

The bridge was blown into ruins, the vehicles rolled and exploded, the helicopter chased and exploded, and so many types of Terminator robots were dying. According to reason, "Terminator 5" should be very hot and compact, but after the whole film, my feeling turned out to be " The word "dull" shows how failed the director's scene scheduling is. The details are not listed one by one.

3. Actors: Schwarzenegger is the only bright spot.

1. No matter how old Schwarzenegger is, no matter how cumbersome his movements are, and no matter how outdated his shape is, he is also Schwarzenegger. Even if his face is expressionless, even if he stands still, the audience's eyes will be centered on him. This is the superstar, this is the aura. The audience just wants to see him being BE BACK!

For old Terminator fans, T800 can be humanized and very friendly.

2. Except for Schwarzenegger, the other male and female protagonists are not outstanding, no matter their appearance or performance, they cannot make people shine.

I know that the heroine Emilia Clarke is the dragon girl in "Game of Thrones", but in this film, she is really not good enough, not sexy enough, and does not show her skills independently, and does not play the role that a vase should play.

3. I thought Li Bingxian's robot was an important role, but I didn't expect that he was just playing soy sauce.

4. Others:

The Nike Vandal sneakers worn by Kyle Reese (scenario in the 1980s) were specially made by Nike for the film. At first, Nike was reluctant to make the old-fashioned version of the Vandal, and hoped to implant the new Air-Force sole, but according to Susan Matheson, who is in charge of clothing for the film, Terminator fans will not forgive this kind of cheating, and eventually Nike made a compromise.

The popular film review network

concluded: "I am old, but not out of date!" I hope that the "Terminator" series will change its director, spend more time on the script, and don't rely on Schwarzenegger to support the scene.

    Arnold and his feelings are worthy of recognition, but the story, setting, script, and rhythm are all very bad. Can't recommend it to others.

    The beginning of the film is seamlessly connected to "Terminator 1", and it also plays a new trick. As soon as T-800 returned to 1984, he was knocked out by another self; Kyle Rees encountered T-1000. In addition, Sarah Connor was hunted down by T-1000 when she was a child, but was saved by her father... There are also John Connor, Sarah Connor, Kyle Rees, T-800 in the same frame , The family was finally reunited. Wonderful is wonderful, but the hole dug is too big for the director himself to explain. Who sent me Dad? Who sent the T-1000? The most incredible thing is that John Connor actually said that even if he killed Sarah Connor, he wouldn’t die... Even an Easter egg was left at the end of the film to pave the way for the sequel, but now it seems that this pit may never be Will fill it out. The original creator wanted to create a new trilogy with "Terminator 5" as the starting point, but the filming was too complicated and I couldn't figure it out. It doesn’t matter if the film is bad, the important thing is that the timeline is messed up too much. If you want to shoot a sequel, you can’t shoot. I had to abandon "Terminator 3-5" and went to shoot the direct sequel of "Terminator 2" "Terminator" : Dark Fate
