I don't know

The setting of this "Genesis" is to rely on realistic themes, and old wine in new bottles is not a good wine. I wanted to round up the things that the previous story did not show, but the whole setting was so confusing that I didn't want to think about its rationality after reading it. There is no breakthrough in the fight scene, and only the picture effect is pursued, and it is edited like a trailer.
I feel that the biggest highlight of this film is probably the return of Schwarzenegger, and the performance of the three protagonists has changed a relationship. "Time travel" can only be regarded as a prominent setting of this work, and it is a failure at all. With the help of time travel, the stories in the first four films are interspersed and recreated to create a sense of freshness. What I'm saying is that because the film was shot without a hint of nostalgia, the "freshness" turned completely unfamiliar. The background setting in the film is not very comprehensive. The large number of scenes from the previous work that reappeared in the first half are to let the audience who have seen the previous work activate the memory of watching the movie in the past (it used to be a masterpiece).
There is actually a "preview of the next episode" at the end, but I think this series has completely changed the taste of this part, and I no longer have any expectations for the next part.

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.
