is going to talk about today is not a new beginning, more like a return of glory.
In the Terminator universe, the so-called debut is the peak. The 1984 "Terminator 1" and the 1991 "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" exploded at that time. The Terminator made Schwarzenegger and James Card. Mellon.
But unfortunately, after leaving the halo of the card god, the subsequent Terminator failed to continue the glory of "Terminator 1 and 2". In 2003, "Terminator 3" gave the Terminator world a new follow-up supplement, but because With the exception of Schwarzenegger, all the actors were blind, resulting in a mediocre response in "Terminator 3".
In 2009, "Terminator 2018" made a bold attempt. Without T-800, only John Connor is left. The plot is played to the doomsday future after the "Judgment Day". The film is more like a derivative work than The sequel ended with word-of-mouth and poor box office.
In 2015, "Terminator: Genesis", Schwarzenegger returned. At that time, the creator vowed to come to a new restart trilogy, played a parallel time and space, and once again confronted Skynet, but the audience still did not pay, and the box office and word of mouth The defeat caused the restart to be shelved indefinitely.
To the "Terminator: Dark Fate" we are going to talk about today, the Schwarzenegger T-800 is still there, and the first two films played by Sarah Connor, Linda Hamilton, are also back. More importantly, James Card Mellon returned to be the producer of this film, directed by Tim Miller, who had directed "Deadpool". The lineup of immortals like
, the main creator also has the confidence to announce that "Terminator: Dark Fate" is the third work of pure blood after "Terminator 1 and 2."
"There is no destiny, only we create ourselves."
This is the core idea that almost every work of Terminator wants to convey. If you deconstruct from this sentence, then "Terminator: Dark Fate" is indeed the third part of the orthodox sense. In the Foreign Film Critics Association, everyone Affirmed the film and said it was a real upgrade after "Terminator 1 and 2."
Since "Terminator: Dark Fate" is an action genre, let's talk about the most important action scene first!
This time the film is positioned as an R-level N16 abroad. Fortunately, the domestic and foreign versions have not been cut, so we can still enjoy the original "The End" regardless of the emotional expression of the dialogue or the refreshing degree of the action. Author: Dark Fate.
Cameron said in an interview that the Terminator series was an R-rated action movie from the beginning, so this time the R-rated positioning of "Terminator: Dark Fate" is the essence of Terminator's pure DNA.
In addition, the reason why the action scene of "Terminator: Dark Fate" is so important and attractive is its rhythm. Nowadays, audiences who are accustomed to watching commercial action movies are actually prone to visual fatigue in action fights because of the action scenes. Once the rhythm of the arrangement is not well grasped, it will give people the illusion that they are confused about what is going on.
"Terminator: Dark Destiny" grasps the fighting rhythm, stepping on the emotional points in the audience's hearts and exploding on time. These action scenes contribute to each other's cause and effect, and the emotions rise progressively, one by one, which looks very enjoyable. .
In the action design, the film not only has traditional drag racing battles, but also added difficult scenes such as airplanes and underwater. It is extremely creative. Gunfight blasting ammunition also gives enough fuel, and it is not stingy at all.
In the Terminator world, the film has also been reasonably extended and subdivided. In the trailer, Sarah Connor said that she interrupted Judgment Day, saved the fate of 3 billion people, and changed the future. The
film presents another possibility for the Terminator’s future world to be changed, but this is not like "Terminator: Genesis" simply restarting parallel time and space, but a stronger combination of the story of "Terminator 2" to create The interweaving of time and space in the future sense of disorder. The future world pattern like
is more convincing and makes "Terminators 1 and 2" more valuable. For example, the plot of "Terminators 3 and 5" denies the uselessness of "Terminators 1 and 2". Recycle the Skynet mode, but "Terminator: Dark Fate" is displayed in a smarter way.
Doomsday will still appear, but this time "Terminator: Dark Fate" and modern artificial intelligenceThe questions are more closely linked and fit the irreversible argument of the subtitle's dark destiny. After years, the Terminator has been trying to kill Skynet, but has been unable to kill the bug. In terms of the plot mode of
, on the basis of the original classic framework, more fresh faces have been added. The emergence of REV-9 is called the strongest villain in the entire series. The liquid end of REV-9 and the T-1000 of "Terminator 2" It is similar, but of course it is stronger than T-1000. It can fight in two separate ways. It also incorporates many Internet-concept technologies. In the words of the protagonist, such a machine can only escape and cannot be destroyed. Grace, who was sent back by
, is a new artificial person in the future. This is a bit like the setting of the protagonist of "Terminator 2018", but it looks more advanced and more likely to be our future. The addition of new characters in the
film (a new role is not a new actor playing an old role) is friendly to new audiences, and it adds freshness to old fans, which also smoothes the complicated time of the past Terminator series Line, and rediscover the role of connecting the past and the future.
and nostalgia, of course it was given to T-800 and Sarah Connor. This time the connection between the two is stronger than the previous two, and they have added a lot of emotional power to them. La Conner's encounters and experiences in the second and this one for decades have made her a more tenacious and tough woman.
In the previous T-800, either the killing machine did not even have a line, or the robot with a clear purpose was expressionless, but this time the T-800 added more emotional drama and also discussed the awakening of the machine. The topic of consciousness.
When T-800 appeared, what we saw was the old Schwarzenegger with gray hair. He could still feel the powerful aura and charm of T-800. More importantly, we could learn from T-800. In the eyes full of emotion, he couldn't help but recall the changes of the 35-year Terminator series, and it also flows on Schwarzenegger. The
film also combines the true feelings of the audience for so many years, and made an article on the story behind the T-800 character. This time T-800 has more touching lines and a more complete character transformation arc. Of course, there are even more tearful endings.
I think every young friend who spent a long summer vacation with "Terminator 1 and 2" in his childhood will surely do it after seeing the more humane and redemptive T-800 in "Terminator: Dark Fate" Moved by years of accumulation of love. Many aspects of the
film pay tribute to the classic "Terminator 1 and 2" in terms of dialogue, camera action and orientation. This is enough to see the ingenious and heart-warming arrangement of "Terminator: Dark Fate", which also allows us to see The more delicate and rich T-800.
This is just as the title carries the word destiny. T-800 has always been the endorsement of the Terminator villain, but the "trick" of destiny has allowed T-800 to constantly correct evil and return to the right. For the destiny of T-800, even machines must Try to change our destiny, let alone our own.
is the biggest core proposition of the Terminator series that I mentioned earlier: "has no destiny, only our own creation".
Whether it’s Sarah Connor, T-800, or a new character in the film, they are all making their own life choices and fighting around the dark fate given by the Terminator. This is what the film conveys to everyone The strongest impact came out, this is also the Terminator series that has been popular for decades. To this day, "Terminator: Dark Destiny" still allows people to watch the passionate works. If you always have the unfinished feelings of the "Terminator" series in your heart, or you just want to watch an explosive action movie, the third orthodox sequel of "Terminator: Dark Fate" is not to be missed.
