Terminator 2 Judgement Day Analysis

In the early 1980’s, a know movie director by the name of James Cameron, and famous action movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger, stared a series one of the best well know action movies of that era. That movie is called “Terminator.” It is the first part in an extensive five part sequence of Terminators movies. The best sequence in this five part story is the second movie that can out called “Terminator 2 Judgment Day,” This story is about a rebellious teenage boy named “John Connor” played by Edward Furlong, his mother named “Sarah Connor” played by Linda Hamilton, and a cyborg robot that was sent from the future to protect this teenager from another cyborg robot that is made out of liquid metal. James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger really hit one out of the park with this movie “Judgment Day.” A few months ago I watched the fifth installment of the Terminator called “Genesis.” Within the forty five minutes of this movie I found myself truly dissatisfied. For some reason this movie was lacking several important things. What makes a great movie great is, the story line, acting, and not too over the edge special effects that just make this movie horrible. This movie Genesis

is defiantly a waste of time. I wouldn’t recommend it.
First, the story line is one of the most essential parts when it comes to making feature films. Without a well thought out story line the movie just falls apart, and that will have the viewer thinking to themselves this is just a waste of my time. When I watch any kinds of movies I put all of my attention into the watching the movie so I know what’s going on. In the new Terminator Genesis it begins in the future. Were John Connor is now all grown up and he is leading a rebellion against the Terminators. This is when John finally meets his father, but they are the same age, and they are unaware that they are related. His father is one of John’s well trusted soldiers. Only until John’s father volunteers to go back in time to save his son John, Sarah Connor, and the rest of the world from a nuclear apocalypse. For some reason I think they could have found a better introduction to John Connor’s father. The reason why I feel this way is because John and his father would have known that they are related. It was just a weird way how they can to understand that they are related.
Secondly, the acting is the next critical section to any major film. When films have various A+ movie stars sometime the A+ movie stars can carry a movie even if the story isn’t the best. But when you have a bunch of second rate movie stars you end up with the opposite. In the movie Terminator Genesis, they cast a bunch of actors that made their first appearance in show biz. I found it really hard to sympathize with these actors because they were playing major roles in this film, and I couldn’t find myself believing their hardships.
Lastly, in any major box office action film there’s going to be large areas of the film that has to do with special effects.

The second Terminator movie was known for opening and pushing that envelope, to the point of accomplishing things that were never done before. It was extremely disappointing to watch Terminator Genesis because all of the special effect that was in this movie was already done by all of the other Terminator movies, so nothing new. Even the lead actor of all of these Terminator movies Arnold Schwarzenegger did everything with computer imagery. So when people saw him in this movie they knew that it wasn’t really Arnold. I understand that in a lot of movies in this date and age are done with computer imagery. It pains me to see that this is where big time budget films are

at.
Inclusion, all major office box action films should all have the similar recipe when trying to accomplish a great action movie. Back when I was much younger, movies for the most part were done more as a skill rather than a trade someone picked up and learned how to do. I believe that when making a good quality action movie people need to have some of these things that I previously discussed about. With that been said I strongly discourage watching Terminator Genesis.
