spends a long time in Secondary Two with you, ACG Dimension Rice Radio greets readers and friends. The
movie "Terminator: Dark Destiny" has been released for 26 days, but this Hollywood super IP has only gained 350 million yuan in the box office in the booming Chinese film market today, and has a score of only 7.1 on Douban. The final result of "Avengers 4", which is also a masterpiece of sentimentality and also released this year, is completely different from "Terminator". Although
is controversial, "Avengers 4" still has a box office of 4.2 billion, which is also mostly praised by word of mouth. Time goes back to 1984, and probably no one thought that James Cameron’s film would be in such a predicament now.

James Cameron is undoubtedly a genius, but his performance on the Terminator sequel has repeatedly made us doubt his business ability or his attitude. Because since Terminator 2, later Terminator related works have only disappointed fans again and again. Of course, except for those comics that don't have too many people to pay attention to.

If nothing else, this time "Terminator: Dark Fate" will be the finale of the "Terminator" series. Many fans originally had high hopes for this "final chapter" They expected that the talented director who created "Avatar" could give them some surprises. As a result, there was nothing left except feelings.
"Terminator: Dark Fate" Director: James Cameron
From a story point of view, "Terminator: Dark Fate" is a failure. Quoting a classic comment from a netizen on Douban: "This is a story about Foxconn The little girl in the assembly line of the factory, unfortunately laid off due to mechanical automation, led the whole mankind to resist modern civilization." Doesn’t it sound funny, but the movie does tell such a story, the biggest of "Terminator: Dark Fate" The problem is that it does not consider the credibility of the story at all.
When we put aside some of the emotional scenes at the beginning of the movie and the still sharp acting skills of the 70-year-old Governor Schwarzenegger, what we see is a cliche story that can’t be more cliche, and any one is waiting at the door of Hollywood The former screenwriters are all familiar with the routine. They can kick Cameron before the script and shout: "Let go of that movie and let me come!"
The story of the dark fate of the Terminator can be simply summarized as : "The little girl is assassinated by a robot-the little girl is rescued by the beautiful woman and the grandmother in the escape-the little girl goes to the grandpa with the beautiful woman and the grandmother-the little sister, the beautiful woman, the grandma and the grandpa together defeat the super robot." The whole movie The most in the story is undoubtedly the beauty robot "Grace" played by Mackenzie, but the only portrayal of her is "She was rescued by a little girl". This character is thin like a piece of paper.
"Terminator: Dark Fate" is caught in the embarrassment of most special effects blockbusters. It can only use shocking sound effects and visual impact on the screen to make up for the weakness of the plot. The audience can no longer find the shock of Schwarzenegger slowly sinking into the magma in such a story, leaving behind a sentence of "I'll be back".
But fans will never behave so cruelly, just like an insincere "dispersal wine". "Terminator: Dark Fate" poured a glass of fake wine and said symbolically: "This cup of respect past". Most people still smile and bump their glasses because of "feelings."
Someone may ask: "Why do you like this movie so bad?" There is only one answer, and its name is "Terminator"!
