With five mainline sequels, several video games, and a TV series behind it, The Terminator keeps coming back. He utilized projection, miniatures, forced perspective, and more to create classic films with an aesthetic that withstood the progress of visual effects development. The titular Terminator was played by burgeoning actor and seven-time Mr. Olympia winner, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fresh off two Conan the Barbarian pictures, Arnold took on the role of the mechanical murderer.
His physicality coupled with his cold demeanor made for a menacing and mesmerizing villain. The subversion of the story and character archetypes in T2 : Judgement Day still shines as a prime example of a sequel that is stronger than its predecessor. Future entries in the time travel tale ignore or reimagine events from other entries in the series, creating a convoluted action saga.
Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to this story that inverted the formula of the original. In many ways, this is the first successful attempt to reboot The Terminator franchise.
The T intercepts John, and they bust Sarah out of a mental institution where she got locked up trying to blow up the factory where she destroyed the original Terminator at the end of the first film. Dyson sort of reverse-engineers the smashed Terminator and uses it to build what becomes Skynet.
Ok, so, at the end of the movie, the T gets cast into a vat of molten steel, and the T willingly dips himself into the steel like fondue to make sure none of his parts can be salvaged and used to create Skynet.
Dyson is killed, and John and Sarah fling the chip and arm he was studying into the steel after the two Terminators. Skynet prevented, Judgment Day averted. That is, until Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Set ten years after Terminator 2 roughly , a now-adult John Connor has gone completely off the grid. As it turns out, he was totally right, and Skynet has sent yet another robot back in time to kill its enemies - the T-X, a ladybot programmed to kill not just John Connor, but every member of his inner resistance circle, including his future wife Kate Brewster.
Yet another reprogrammed T has also been sent back to to protect John and Kate, except this one was sent by Kate rather than John.
That's because in the future, John has been killed by this very T, which is then hacked by Kate and sent back in time. That's our first confirmed John death.
Ok, moving on. As it turns out, Judgment Day is inevitable, and everything John and Sarah did in the previous films only succeeded in delaying it for a little while. Man, my head hurts. This more or less leads directly into the events of Terminator Salvation , which takes place 13 years later, in John and Kate are leaders of the human resistance battling Skynet, which is now trying to kill Kyle Reese in the war-torn present, before John is able to send him back in time for the fuckadox.
Salvation introduces a cyborg character named Marcus Wright, but neither he nor anything else that happens in this movie really affect the overall timeline in any way.
John and Marcus eventually do save Kyle and destroy many unfinished Ts in the process. Marcus sacrifices himself to save John. John Connor this time played by Jason Clarke is on the cusp of defeating Skynet in when he sends back his eventual father, Kyle Reese Jai Courtney , to to protect and impregnate his mother Sarah.
But while Kyle is in the midst of being sent back, a Terminator approaches John Connor and turns him into a half-man, half-machine being. As Kyle Reese travels back in time he has a flashback to an alternate version of his childhood and realizes that the timeline has changed: Skynet now comes online in Skynet further alters the timeline by sending a Terminator back to to kill Sarah Connor in her childhood.
A mysterious person we never learn who sends back another T Schwarzenegger yet again to save her. The T essentially adopts Sarah as a child, and together they prepare for the war to come.
They build a time machine that they then plan to use to jump to the future and take down Skynet. When they arrive in they find out that John has been turned into a terminator in and sent back to to protect Skynet from Sarah and Kyle. Sarah and Kyle fight him and seemingly blow up terminator John and the Skynet facility. Forget everything that has happened in the franchise since Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
James Cameron left the franchise after that film and is only returning now for Dark Fate. Their heroic deeds at the end of that movie seem to have succeeded: They blew up the technology that would become Skynet, stopping the apocalypse from occurring in However, Sarah explains later that Skynet had sent multiple terminators from the future to kill John. One that looks like the Schwarzenegger T walks up to a young John in Mexico and murders him in front of Sarah.
Fast-forward to A human who has been augmented with terminator technology and fights for the resistance, Grace Mackenzie Davis , protects Dani. However, this new terminator can turn itself into two terminators and is just about to overtake Dani and Grace when Sarah Connor a modern-day Linda Hamilton arrives to save them.
Grace has never heard of Skynet but explains that the military developed AI technology that, in the future, rebels against humanity. While Sarah and John prevented the original Judgment Day, another one is set to occur later on. Sarah reveals that she receives mysterious text messages from the same number telling her the timing and location of a new terminator dropping from the sky, so she can destroy them one by one.
Grace is assisted in keeping Dani alive by Sarah Connor, who has spent the 22 years since the death of her son fighting off other time-traveling evil robots, and Carl, the robot responsible for the death of John Connor. They are ultimately successful, but it is unclear whether or not the rise Legion — an AI specifically designed for cyberwarfare — as a despotic robot overlord has been averted.
