A movie that makes people feel ruthless

The first time I met Schwarzenegger was his work The Beautiful Life, which I still consider to be the best work he has ever taken. The Terminator series was not watched in theaters because of the late acquaintance. The first few films brought a sense of novelty, after all, very few Chinese science fiction films can do this. Terminator Genesis, the film's premiere was finally able to go to theaters. Except for Schwarzenegger's aging face throughout the film, people are frightened when they see his action scenes, fearing that he will be injured. The rest of the film did not break away from the framework of the previous ones. Generally speaking, if the audience of this movie is people who have not been exposed to the previous works, it can be said that the movie can still bring a lot of shock to people. And if you are watching the Terminator series, there is nothing shocking about this film. In addition to making people feel that the years are ruthless, the stars of the past cannot escape the control of time.

[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.
