Terminator: Genisys - Part 6

[samsnee]

Arnold is far from perfect. Horrible governor. Womanizer. But damn, he's fun to watch when he's making fun of his own persona.

In a perfect world, we'd have gotten Cameron's T3.

well WE got the Cameron approved version so stop your whining.

lol

[JackMercy]

Did Arnie do any stunts at all for this film? Or was it like "Arnie can't do this scene of the Terminator walking at a moderate speed. Let's get a stunt guy and paste his face on later"?

I mean geez at a certain point you don't even need Arnie to ever come to set.

Well, that's clearly what they're moving towards, it seems...with a 1984-era digital Arnold present in the last two films.

There have been discussions in Hollywood about this for years, the posthumous use of stars...there were rumors that people like Tom Cruise began working clauses into their contracts years ago in order to prevent and/or position themselves appropriately for "use" after their mortal coil shifts off our physical plain...

Perhaps Arnold's planning the same thing...you've got to believe he's already been pondering this a bit...

Was that ever a possibility? Asking honestly; I was always under the impression he wanted to leave the series alone after T2. And I always thought that was a perfect ending.

So I'm reading a lot of random comments about people being ready to love Genysis because Cameron endorsed it

Most are being sarcastic about it.

His head... His HEAD...

Spoiler

What am I missing? I don't see any thing? I am confused.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Arnie's head has very obviously been digitally pasted onto a stunt man's body. The way it oddly changes sizes, moves around, and is poorly shadowed gives it away.

I watched it like 100 times and I don't see it changing size or moving around.

Is this for real? Because that is downright horrid.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

 

[Snow Queen]

So Arnold couldn't walk through some fake glass and push a woman out of the way? Or maybe a shot from behind as he walks through it with a stunt double, cut to the front with Arnold walking and pushing her aside? It'd be fairly obvious but it's not that monstrosity.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Basically I'm more laughing at Darth's reaction than anything.

 

[ThePhantasm]

I'm mystified by the random puff of smoke behind Arnold as well

it seems to be coming from... nothing

 

[Waldini]

If you look closely you see that the "female" Terminator aims at Arnold and (presumably) pulls the trigger. The puff of smoke does look weird though.

They could've CGI'ed Arnold's face because he might've blinked or had to close his eyes when walking through the glass. The whole thing looks off as **** though.

That looks like one of those two way mirrors that are in interrogation rooms. So if that's the case Arnold needed to bust the glass and climb over the wall and enter the room and take out the woman quickly. Arnold isn't young and it may have just been a case of a stuntman being able to do it at the speed Taylor wanted.

Still doesn't excuse that bad compositing tho. That's on par with the shoddy compositing used to paste Christopher Lee's face on the stuntman in AOTC and ROTS and that was over 10 years ago. Compositing has come a ways since then. This should look better and not be this sloppy.

 

[Dave McFly]

well, considering the CGI effects of the T1000 look bad compared to what they did in T2 24 years ago shows you that they are not as good as compositing in this either .

 

[Defacto]

Spoiler

Another strange thing about that scene is that he walks through the wall beneath the glass aswell, yet there's no wood splinters or anything flying around at all.

Will the movie also explain why the John Connor terminator doesn't use his nanobots to take over the guardian?

So I'm trying to work the plot out and I'm confused.

- John Connor sends Reese back in time to protect his mother

- But a T-800 arrives long beforehand and raises her

- Wouldn't John have known she was protected in the future then? I mean the logic of the first film was all that stuff had already happened, like the photograph and the recording

- But anyhow, somehow Skynet gets ahold of future John and merges with him or something, assuming that new terminator is really John as the trailers claim

- But then why is John trying to kill his own mother and erase himself from existence? And wouldn't the fact that he's in the past mean his mother would tell young John about what happened, preventing him from going into the past in the future?

 

[AnneFan]

o man that video of Arnold walking around the city pranking as the Terminator was hilarious.
"get out [of the truck]" was my favourite

Arnie is great, that was fun to watch.

For the first part, maybe Arnold was sent back after Reese? He arrives earlier in time, but maybe after Reese was sent back, something happens in the future, and they realize they gotta send back a Terminator, and they send it even further back?

As for the last part, we don't know that it's actually John Connor, and I don't buy it. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a terminator with similar features of the T-1000, it has copied the exterior of John, but is essentially still just a terminator.

Doesn't matter, John still would have known about the Terminator from his mother telling him. And Reese arrives in a timeline in which there is already a Terminator.
