The predecessor was an unsurpassed milestone

The first two films directed by James Cameron, especially the second film, are simply this series, even the benchmark works of artificial intelligence against human-themed movies. The settings such as man-machine integration, time paradox, and event loop are milestones. style. Therefore, it is too difficult for the later work to match or even surpass it.

The same is true this time. The front is basically fried rice. Of course, you can also say that it is a tribute, and the reversal of John Connor's apostasy is not as shocking as the reversal of the T-800's goodness. I was looking forward to Long Mu's performance, but unfortunately it was not very good, so when they called "Sarah", the uncle made up for Linda Hamilton's appearance.

In general, it is a neat Hollywood sci-fi movie, except for the feelings of Schwarzenegger and the Terminator series, there are no more highlights. The governor's sentence "I'm old, but not outdated" makes people sigh that time flies, but this old man is still the favorite Hollywood muscular man in his uncle's mind.

Friendly reminder: there are Easter eggs at the end of the film, oh shit, Skynet hasn't shit yet? Samsung.

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.
