Terminator (1-6) ALL Future Wars Scenes | Epic & Fiction

[@nikolaskraven2323]

Ironically, T1 had the lowest budget and the best future war scenes. It just shows that no matter how much money you've got, when you lack creativity, you can't go anywhere.

[@Kareszkoma]

That's fair, but T1 is 40 years old and it often shows. The frames and picture.. is just not very nice anymore. The reason the effects and models are this nice, because they used real machines, toys, like most sci-fies at the time. Star Wars and Star Trek, while.. sometimes it looks horrible, they still look pretty good compared to their age. Movies nowadays cost horrible amounts compared to the 80ies. Top Gun: 15m budget -> 350m income. Beverly Hills Cop? 20m -> 300m. Terminator? 6.5m -> 80m. Rockie? 1.1m -> 225m. Star Wars 4? 11m -> 503m. Nowadays a movie is 50-200m and brings 400m or worse.

@@Kareszkoma CGI isn't cheap. People say what they will about using CGI over props, but there is a reason why graphic artists get paid the big bucks.

[@Kareszkoma]

@@mase002 My problem is not the money. It's the end result. T1 looks pretty damn good.. 40 years later. Some CGI is not .. "good looking" 5 years later. We have Avenger type of quality, at some points. But even avenger is ageing, like a time bomb. And thats a big bucket type of production. There are youtubers who animated star wars ships and the alike. It's fucking brilliant. It's more realistic than props. It exist. But movies do not get that sorrowfully.

Something that sequels never couldn’t carry is the way that the future war is set up in the first two films. It’s something so dark, obscure and frightening.

[@cromwellthesynth]

I think that's because all we ever saw was at night I still think Salvation did it justice, just the story could have been better

[@yuampi5707]

Cromwell the Synth Yeah. But that’s why i always think that Salvation is missing something. The depiction of the depressing world in the future war. Look at 4:55 - 7:00 for example. Look at how this dream sequence tell us how sad, depressing and terrifying is to live in this future. Look at the faces of the children, the screams, all of them hurt and dirty, probably dying of hunger. Not only that but they also have to live with the fact that a Terminator is trying to hunt them. These are things that make imo the original movies so much better. It make sense for the characters to prevent this horrible future (at least in first two).

[@jeandomeniconagereitano7016]

I know right? That feel of despair from endless war, hunger and pain. Just tired of living and scared of dying

One of the reasons why T1's future war scenes are so effective is that the machine force is entirely inhuman - the sequels feature a shit ton of t800s, which is great for fanservice, but doesn't come close to selling the asymmetrical nature of the war or the facelessness of skynet as well

[@duncanharrell5009]

But those T-800s make sense as Skynet adapting to the Resistance’s Guerrilla tactics. Besides, armored units need infantry escort to prevent those attacks from happening.

[@MikeLitoriss69]

Those t-800s are a lot more menacing imo

[@QualityPen]

I think the newer movies rely too heavily on CGI. T1’s graphics have aged a bit, but the practical effects still add a kind of grittiness you can’t get from CGI. T1’s stop motion terminator is too choppy, but the way it moves is much more machinelike and creepy than the CGI T-800s.

The scariest scene is at 6:10 when the Terminator infiltrates the resistance hideout. What is especially sinister is that Franco Columbu back then had the physical appearance of a traditional movie hero. With his wavy hair, handsome face and well-built physique, he kind of embodies the image of a movie good-guy. It really does enforce the idea that these machines were built to be infiltrators. His impassive slaughter of everything in the refuge, men, women, children and even the animals is terrifying.

Agree, despite the success and how good T2 was the T-1000 was too easy to slow down or damage, it's humour and interaction made it too human.

[@lichking3711]

Agreed on the first point but I have to disagree on the time travel. The way it was done was because Skynet already sent a terminator back in time and it is possible that the creator of skynet was unknown. Also, once time travel begins, future begins to change unpredictably, so even if Skynet's creator is killed, it is possible for someone else to continue or complete a similar project. Showing that aspect of the everchanging future was the entire point of the terminator series, first mentioned in the first movie.

[@diazdelosmuertos1503]

Watch Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It’s about Sarah raising John into the man he will one day become, off the grid, using fake identities and avoiding digital footprints, all while doing everything they can to avert the Future War and prevent Skynet from ever coming into existence. It also has an interesting cast of characters you might be surprised to see. It’s the only thing past T2 that’s even worth a damn-aside from Resistance, of course.

The original had the dystopian future down to a tee, focusing more on the hellish nightmare that the survivors had to live through. It also showed aspects of military tactics used by the human resistance in the form of gathering intel through reconnaissance and hitting the machines with the use of guerilla tactics, which are best implemented when fighting against a larger and stronger adversary. T2 displayed a scene where the resistance went on a full offensive, which while not as convincing as the original, still displayed some military maneuvering of getting troops into position and taking cover as they engaged the machines. The rest....just running with guns blazing. No evidence of even the most basic military tactics being adopted. Individuals just doing their own thing without any consideration of working with fellow troops as a coherent unit. The human resistance wouldn't last long at that rate, yet alone claim victory over the machines.

Its theorized that T2's opening is part of the final assault on Skynet, because that was what was in the original script. T2's opening is great because you see humans and machines scoring hits against one another, and you feel that John Connor actually did lead humanity to victory after it.

[@jamesboulger8705]

I think we have to understand that regardless, the world is pretty blown up, and the resources on both sides are rather scant. The one things humans have is numbers; give a human a plasma rifle and he can kill a Terminator generated with several rare earth metal components and several hundred pounds of titanium that has to be smelted.

[@SprikSprak]

Good point - I always got vibes of the stories from Stalingrad in WW2 in those scenes - the fear and desperation, cheapness of life, suffering of civilians and the endless meat grinder of numbers vs. superior tech in an urban wasteland

[@CinemaRescored]

13:24 - To be fair, this is the only thing _Terminator Genisys_ got right, and more so than any other post-_T2_ sequels. "Are there other's down here?" is actually what an infiltrating Terminator would say, even to a child. While they are very strong and practically unstoppable with simple tools, they are also conniving robots meant to only kill. If they made a 2-hour movie out of that underrated opening, _Genisys_ would have become the best sequel, even with Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese and Jason Clarke as John Connor.

[@Kareszkoma]

Was that the movie with the latino girl screaming half throughout the movie and trying to beat a terminator with a pipe and her "latino anger"? Because it was absolutely horrible. That movie was bad. A couple actors were heavily carrying that one, and even then.. the plot was just.. ough.

Yeah, good attention to detail in Genisys' future scenes. Also, the infiltrator in the sewer is an early version, since Kyle is so young in that scene. Most likely a T-600. You can see the rubber skin for a second. It might have been a T-700 since it speaks and moves smoothly. Either way, it was cool to see a plasma rifle make short work of a T-600? since we didn't get to see that in Salvation.
