It's hard to believe now that the initially iconic first film of the Rise of the Machines franchise was known in the USSR under the name "Killer Cyborg", despite the fact that the Russian equivalent of the Latin term "terminator" is "liquidator". However, movie fans have slightly different associations with this word. After 1984, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played the title role in the sci-fi action film The Terminator (IMDb: 8.00), became forever associated with fans of the genre with a cyborg.
A groundbreaking masterpiece
James Cameron announced himself three years before the creation of the first tape - in an attempt to correct the coming post-apocalyptic future in D. Carpenter's "Escape from New York", however, there he realized his remarkable talent as a director of special effects. The film that brought world fame to the filmmaker, as a director and co-author of the script, was The Terminator. This is truly a landmark picture in the world of science fiction and is still considered an excellent example of intense, inexorably developing action that does not let go of the viewer for a moment.
Cameronsubtly felt and competently withstood the lightning-fast rhythm and pace of the action, showed an extraordinary imagination, striking with unpredictable plot twists. Now the "Terminator" is a cult project that marked the rapid ascent of the robotic Arnold Schwarzenegger to the Hollywood Olympus. By the way, for the entire duration of the tape, his character utters only 16 capacious, but short lines, the most famous of which is the winged "I'll be back." The huge success, including financial, of the project contributed to the release after 7 years of the second episode, also directed by D. Cameron, of the film "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (IMDb: 8.50).
History at the core
In the original film, the story revolves around the personality of Kyle Reese, who came from the future to confront a humanoid killer robot also sent from 2029 to 1984 in Los Angeles. Cyborg at all costs must kill the young beauty Sarah Connor, on which the future of mankind depends. Kyle must protect her and more…
Successful and clever sequel "Terminator 2" continues the story of a ruthless killer cyborg from the future, which reappears in the present. Now the target of the mechanical killer is not only Sarah, but also her teenage son, 12-year-old John Connor, who later should lead the Resistance and become the main enemy of the rebellious machines.
Sequel
In the second part of the epic, Cameron decided not to stop there and prepared for the audiencean intriguing surprise regarding cyborg modifications. The continuation involves two robots - the character of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who appeared in the first film, who promised to return for a reason, and the T-1000. If the T-800 was a humanoid android with a metal frame, then the T-1000 is a terminator, favorably distinguished by its ability to change shape. The work of the director is able to impress with its special effects even now. It seems that Cameron creates his masterpieces for centuries, because they do not become obsolete either by visualization or semantic load.
"Doomsday" gave all moviegoers a cyborg that takes on any shape and form, can turn into steel and spread across the floor with ease. But the cult status behind him was fixed in the appearance of the guardian of law and order with the face of the charismatic Robert Patrick.
Third part
Rise of the Machines (IMDb: 6.400) was no longer directed by Cameron, but directed by Jonathan Mostow. According to critics, "Terminator 3" is the most goofy in the franchise. The only pleasure from viewing the picture is the presence in the frame of the model Kristanna Loken, who played the role of an even more advanced cyborg, once again sent to the past to restore order. In the creative career of the performer, this picture has remained the highest grossing, expensive and popular, and the movie is remembered for its sexy outfit and stern look.
