waited for 28 years, and the real "Terminator 3" was finally released. As long as
is a fan friend who has seen the previous work of the "Terminator" series, for this new work, they must come to the conclusion: "Terminator: Dark Fate" is a pure-blooded terminator.
"Terminator: Dark Fate"
speaking of pure blood, what must be mentioned is the first work of the series-"Terminator" in 1984.
In 1982, James Cameron, who was still a rookie director, got inspiration from a strange nightmare and created the first draft of "Terminator". Although
is only the first draft, it still attracted the interest of producer Gail Anne Hurd.
In the end, Cameron sold the copyright of "Terminator" for $1 in exchange for the right to direct the film.
did not expect that after it was released, this film with a copyright of $1 and a cost of $6.5 million won a box office of $78 million. The
film not only won the North American box office champion, but also made Cameron famous.
Immediately after, "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" came out in 1991. The film relied on the first character produced by computer imaging technology and used motion capture technology for the first time.
finally won the 64th Oscar for best visual effects, best sound editing, best audio and best makeup awards.
At the same time, Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800 and Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor have become classic images in the hearts of countless fans.
But after that, the copyright of "Terminator" changed hands several times, and Cameron did not participate in the filming of the film.
Until 2019, Cameron took back the copyright of "Terminator" again, and also served as the producer and screenwriter of the film, and personally made 4 phone invitations, and finally invited Linda Hamilton who quit Hollywood, plus Arnold Schwarzenegger.
After 28 years, the "iron triangle" of the "Terminator" series is finally assembled.
For many "Terminator" fans, these three are the souls of the entire series, and one is indispensable.
or more exaggerated, the young T-800, Sarah Connor and John Connor, who appeared on the screen a few minutes before the film, are enough to move us to tears.
However, Lao Meng must say that feeling gimmicks are far from all that "Terminator: Dark Fate" wants to express. This new work, after 28 years, has given us more surprises.
"Terminator" series has created a real to frightening future for us.
There, "Skynet", which has an artificial intelligence defense intelligent defense network, launched a long-planned war that killed 3 billion people. This day
was called "Judgment Day" by the survivors. After that, the terminator controlled by "Skynet" suddenly emerged and began to hunt down the humans who survived.
At this time, a leader, John Connor, appeared in the Human Resistance Army. With the efforts of him and the Resistance Army, "Skynet" felt threatened.
So Skynet sent a pair of Terminators, went back to the past, and hunted down mother and son John.
At the same time, the Human Resistance Army also sent out protectors, and the battle between the two sides began.
And the timeline of "Terminator: Dark Fate" continues "Terminator 2", although Sarah prevented the arrival of Judgment Day, the war between humans and artificial intelligence is inevitable.
In 2042, the human world was still inevitably shrouded in darkness. Fortunately, a leader appeared in the human legion, just like John used to be.
then used the same trick again and sent the latest killer machine REV-9, and the Human Resistance Army also sent protectors.
In addition to the return of the two iconic characters representing the spirit of "Terminator" that excites us, the new killing machine REV-9 and the new protector are undoubtedly another one brought to us by "Terminator: Dark Fate" Surprise. The combination of
REV-9 and Grace is like T-800 and Carl and T-1000 and T-800. One is a tool for murder without emotion, and the other is to protect the guardian who sacrifices himself.
For fans who have watched the previous series, the most creepy villain in "Terminator" is undoubtedly the liquidBody human T-1000.
It has been improved and evolved on the basis of T-800. It can switch between solid and liquid at will. It is basically impossible to trap him. The
gun fire is of no use to it, and it can still be recombined to restore its human form.
Moreover, not only can it transform into a person who has touched it at will, but any part of the body can also become a sharp object such as a long knife.
However, REV-9 is a more advanced robot. It improves the shortcomings of T-1000. The bones are changed from alloys to titanium. At the same time, it also increases the combat capability-metal bones and liquid metal surfaces can be freely separated.
In other words, what Sarah and others face is equivalent to two T-1000s with no weaknesses. How can this be played?
and in the new work, REV-9 is transformed into a "gentleman killer". It is no longer an expressionless and non-speaking appearance. Instead, it is able to navigate various identities and even take the initiative to make jokes.
Killing between talking and laughing, the feeling of a smiling tiger, this kind of transformation is more fearful than a killing machine without emotion.
So the number of guardians in "Dark Fate" has also changed. In addition to the veteran fighters T-800 and Sarah, a new guardian Grace is added.
In the movie, she has been fighting with REV-9 since she appeared, and every scene is an escape from the dead.
However, her setting is a combined version of the previous series Guardian. She is a human, but not just a human, but a new human being biochemically transformed.
So she not only has the delicate emotions on Carl's body, she has repeatedly exposed to the guardian Dany in the film, and at the same time, she also has an extraordinary fighting power.
is so powerful, agile, and even invulnerable. The scene of her and the female soldier Sarah fighting against REV-9 is really smashed!
To be honest, Lao Meng almost stood up with excitement when Sarah was holding a gun in the movie, she really came back.
has transformed from a waiter in a restaurant to a fighter with excellent body and will. She and "Terminator" are inseparable.
is 28 years old, and despite her old face, she is still the heroine with super wisdom and super combat effectiveness.
In the film, she put on Terminator sunglasses, and even said the classic Terminator line: "I’ll Be Back", and tears filled the eyes everywhere.
In addition, the former fighter terminator has also changed, he has a sense of autonomy.
And after 28 years of stable life, he has gradually become a good-at-home man in addition to maintaining his original combat effectiveness.
He can put children to sleep, change their diapers, and has a curtain business that he loves, and he is very good at choosing curtains.
In fact, as early as in the second part, he became humane in his relationship with John. Even Sarah Connor said:
"When saving Judgment Day, I saw John and this robot Together, everything becomes clear suddenly. The Terminator will never give up on him, will not hurt him, yell at him, will not beat him when he is drunk, or make an excuse to be too busy to accompany him. Among the men I have met over the years , This robot is the only one who is qualified to be his father."
So, is the change of Terminator now a success in Sarah’s prediction?
has said so much, but what I want to say is actually one sentence. The return of iconic characters and the addition of new characters are the first surprises that the film brings us.
is there again. Another surprise of the film is that it returns to the classic "chase" mode. The
"Terminator" series was originally a classic sci-fi action movie. In addition to the elements of sci-fi, action drama is also a major attraction of the film. There are several big fighting scenes in the first part of
, such as car chase explosions, gun battles, and close hand-to-hand combat. These action scenes have been edited and soundtracked to a suffocating atmosphere. (The scene of T-800 dragging half of her body to chase Sarah is still in the shadows) The second part of
, due to the strength of the villain, made these action scenes once again to the extreme. The last fight can be said to be Had to hold his breath until the T-1000 fell into the hot molten water to breathe.
In "Terminator: Dark Destiny", the director took this action feature to the extreme, heartily.
As long as the fighting scenes you can think of are all arranged, a fighting scene that is gradually escalated and there is no breathing space is completed.
first chases cars on land, gun battles, and all kinds of firearms take turns in battle, and then goes to the sky and the sea, completing a three-line battle by sea, land and air.
because of the new skill of REV-9 clone, the original one-on-one fighting scene has been changed to two-on-two, or even two-on-many. While the number of
has been upgraded, the fighting has been upgraded, and the sense of excitement and tension have also more than doubled.
, especially the fight scene between the two sides on the plane, can be listed as one of the most enjoyable scenes in this year.
In addition, there are many places in the film that pay tribute to the previous series, such as the way of coming back through the journey, and Quanguo grabbing clothes. These bridges still make us movie fans show their knowing smile.
again, the Terminator exclusive sunglasses that appeared in the previous work for the purpose of hiding and pretending to be cool have also appeared in the film. As for whether the Terminator is worn or not, Lao Meng will not disclose it here.
In general, this work that has reunited with the "iron triangle" after 28 years is full of sincerity. It is not blindly playing the card of feelings, but it allows us to watch while appropriately enjoying the emotions brought by feelings. To the new content.
"Terminator: Dark Fate" is the last time Arnold Schwarzenegger played the Terminator. In the film, he also said goodbye to us with "I won’t be back".
But for countless fans of us, Arnold and T-800 have always been there.
