Years later, when Reese and Sarah Connor killed their son, the savior, John Connor, he would be reminded of how John Connor had defended himself against Skynet when he was a child. Márquez's present future past tense is really appropriate here.
Sorting out the chronological order of the films is a bit brain-burning, but if you watch this film alone without watching the first four, you can actually understand it, but most of the energy is used to keep up with the time and space transitions in the film, which affects the viewing experience. The Terminator of this part can be simply divided into two parts, the first part is the plot connection of the first four parts, and the latter is the final battle against the big boos John Connor.
Briefly summarize the story core of the first four parts, the
first part tells about Reese protecting the savior John Connor's mother , the
second part tells about T800 protecting John Connor when he was young, and the
third part tells about T800 protecting John Connor when he was an adult. At the same time, Judgment Day is coming.
The fourth part tells about John Connor's protection of Reese when he was young, and rebuilding the world after Judgment Day
to the fifth part. The beginning of the film follows the plot of the fourth part. After Judgment Day, the world was occupied by machines. John Connor finds and protects Reese, and then returns to the plot of the first part, the difference is that this time the confrontation has changed from 1v1: Reese against T800 to 2v2: Reese and Sarah Connor's adoptive father T800 against another T800 and T1000, and this time Reese seems to have become the protector, Sarah Connor and T800 have become prophets, and the entire fifth part has become a story about protecting the savior father Reese, which is also the story of this film nuclear.
In the second half of the film, Sarah Connor and Reese should go back to 1997 to prevent Judgment Day, which brings the plot back to the third film. However, the reversal of the plot came. Reese traveled to 2029 according to his memory on another timeline in the time machine. Judgment Day did not come on this timeline. Instead, a Genesis APP was used. When the countdown of the APP Judgment Day will come after the end. The screenwriter made a lot of foreshadowing for this reversal, and also made a lot of explanations in the back of the film, such as the logical reasoning of T800 again and again, trying to tell the story roundly, some paragraphs are a little deliberate, but in the end it is still about Understood.
There is another time and space logic problem in the later plot. In the final confrontation, Connor will kill his mother and father. If Reese and Sarah Connor die, then Connor behind will not exist. This time the plot is difficult to continue, the screenwriter is also hard enough, and another rule is thrown out directly. In this time and space dimension, all three people have traveled through, so it has no effect on what has happened in the past, so Connor even If your parents are killed, you will exist too. According to such a dual-timeline narrative, in fact, Connor and Reese will also have two sets of memories. One is that the nuclear explosion occurred in 1997, and Connor was killed by T800 after becoming the savior (predicted in the third part). The space-time dimension is the current timeline of the Terminator series. The other set is that the nuclear explosion occurred in 2029, (the plot hinted by the easter egg at the end of the film) Reese and Sarah Connor gave birth to Connor and were turned into T3000 by T5000, and were killed by T800 after traveling back to 2029. Although there are still many loopholes in this timeline, the subsequent Terminator series can be supplemented and extended along this timeline. The title of this film is worthy of the title of Terminator Genesis, because it has created another dimension of time and space, and the subsequent plots can not be affected by the plots of the previous Terminator series.
To sum up here, in fact, the plot of the Terminator series is to protect the savior's family in turn. The first part protects the savior's mother, the second and third parts protect the savior's youth and adulthood respectively, and the fourth part protects the savior's mother. Father, in the fifth film Cameron jumped directly to another timeline. The nuclear explosion in 1997 was changed to 2029, so that the story can be told again. Maybe the savior family will be protected again. This also shows the significance of this film in the Terminator series, and it happens to also hint at the title of the film "Genesis". The latter Terminator series can be separated from the previous ones in terms of plot, looking forward to the next Terminator .
