Looking back now, Terminator may have been appointed appropriately. Released in 2009, the film’s goal was a revitalization of the Terminator franchise. It was the first attempt to take it in the post-Arnold era. It had to be the salvation of the Terminator franchise.
He failed and the franchise has passed since a failure to the next.
Terminator is an entertaining film, as long as you don’t think about it. The special effects are splashing and the action is fast and fun.
The characters, with the exception of John Connor, a little virgin of Bale, are interesting and well agitated. The tragically gone too early Anton Yelchin really shines him, like Kyle Reese. In fact, forget John Connor. They should have given us an entire film focused on him.
The problems of the film have nothing to do with everything that happened on the set during the production of the film; They are much deeper and more anchored than that. It’s the script. This is the whole premise on which the film is built which is at fault, and there is really nothing but the unique director of the film, MCG, even if it had been authorized to deliver the classified film R that this franchise deserved, could have done to solve this problem.
The problem is Terminator: Salvation Millain, Skynet, who in this version is far from the unstoppable and viciously intelligent machine force that we have seen previously. The story of the film is built around a complicated plot of Skynet; Everything is set in motion by this intrigue, everything occurs because of this plan, and this plan is completely stupid.
Here is this plan: Skynet captures Kyle Reese and uses it to attract to John Connor so that he can kill him. Skynet knows that John Connor will come to save Kyle because Skynet knows that in his future, Kyle becomes John’s father, and Connor needs him if he wants to be born.
Kyle Reese is a bait. John Connor is the target. Why doesn’t Skynet just pull Kyle Reese in the head? Wouldn’t that solve the problem? Game finished. John Connor died.
Instead of doing so, Skynet builds a human cyborg and sends it after Connor. The cyborg believes that it is human; In fact, he has free will and thinks exactly like a human.
Why Skynet would create such a creature exceeds the field of any machine logic that I can mention. He puts something loose that he cannot control, completely confident that he will always do what is said, although there is absolutely no reason to believe it. Later, when he was given positive proof that his Cyborg creation changed aside, Skynet does not seem to be interested in doing anything to stop him. Instead, our MacGuffin cyborg moves away without being mobilized and will work to cancel the terrible Skynet plan. Perhaps at that time, Skynet, like everyone in the audience, decided that this intrigue was no longer worth it.
Terminator is built on a ridiculously fragile foundation, and there was no way to save it from such a dead construction of the brain. However, there is a pleasure to be there, as long as you do not spend more than a second reflect on the logic of all this.
Unfortunately for The terminator Brand, a terrible plot is not the way to launch the next phase of a mega-franchise at the box office. Hollywood continued to try after the salvation disaster, with just as terrible entries as Terminator Genisys And Black spellBut nothing worked. Terminator Maybe their only chance of salvation.
