"Terminator Robot" in translation means "liquidator". This is the common name for automatic combat devices that are mass-produced by Skynet. The goal of all robotic mechanisms is the same - the destruction of humanity on Earth and in the Universe. But before starting massacres on the planet, Skynet must first destroy its potential adversary, a man named John Connor, as it can interfere with global action in order to raise an uprising and neutralize the terminators. This cannot be allowed, and Skynet sends the most prominent T-800 terminator from the future to the past with the task of killing John Connor, who at that time was still a child. No one suspects what danger he is in danger.
The T-800 terminator sets off in 1984, and finds a boy named John Connor. But the child has a mother, Sarah Connor, who, too, should die according to the design of the Skynet processor. The first film by James Cameron called "The Terminator" tells how everything happened. The role of the killer robot is performed by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
T-800 is a perfect machine for the destruction of all living things, created by nanotechnology. Inside the device there are mechanical units based on a titanium base, heavy-duty hinges and servos that provide movements that exactly repeat human ones. The resemblance to people completes the outer shell, completely identical to the appearance of an unremarkable middle-aged man. The disguise is perfect, and this allows the terminator to merge with the crowd of people and remain unrecognized.
Liquidators Project
The terminators are based on technologies and developments of American scientific military structures, such as the CyberDine Systems company, in which microprocessors are created. All new developments came to the Skynet databank, and then T-series terminators were created on the basis of nanotechnology.
Achievements
The first models were advanced robots programmed to destroy people. But these terminators were vulnerable to mechanical impact, they could be broken, smashed, destroyed under the press, burned in fire. Therefore, Skynet worked on other technologies. The ultimate goal of this research was to create a terminator that is not subject to mechanical damage.
The latest achievement of military scientists was the newly created model line of liquidators, which included devices made of liquid metal substances. These mechanisms are almost impossible to destroy, since they have the ability to quickly restore their structure. Any damage is immediately delayed and takes its previous shape.
Purpose and means
The first film about terminators was introduced by the Cyberdyne Systems 101 model from the 800 series. Arnold Schwarzenegger brilliantly played all his roles in the pentalogy. Previous models of terminators - T-700, T-600, T-1 - without epidermis, as well as hydrobots, moto-terminators, killer hunters, perform their primary function by searching for objects and directly destroying them. In some cases, the terminators ambush, but most often go on the attack.
The more advanced ones, endowed with intelligence, of those that are already covered with a shell in the form of human skin, use the tactics of introducing themselves into society, after which the search for the victim begins. So it was with the hunt for Sarah Connor in the 1984 picture. Although the main target of destruction was her son, John Connor, the woman had to bear the brunt of the persecution.
Staged by Alan Taylor
The plot of the fifth film "Terminator: Genesis" is based on the preparation of an attack on Skynet. The fantastic action movie was directed by director Alan Taylor. The film was attended by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clark, Emilia Clark, Jai Courtney. The role of the T-1000 terminator in the fifth series was played by Korean actor Lee Ben Hong. The management of Paramount Pictures studio intended to make the fifth series the conditional start of a new trilogy. Genisys stands for Generalized Information System.
Devastation
The film begins with information from Kyle Reeves, John Connor's best friend, that the vast network of Skynet military supercomputers dealt a fatal blow to humanity. The whole world turned into a deserted space, and the few survivors of the nuclear disaster called what is happening doomsday. New terminator robots appeared that hunted people and systematically destroyed them.
Reese himself, born after the war, spent his childhood in the ruins near San Francisco. Once he came across a terminator and nearly died, but he was saved by John Connor, the future leader of the World Resistance, an extremely mysterious person, since it was not known where he got extensive knowledge about the terminators and about how to deal with them.
The end of the Skynet processor
The war ended in 2029. Kyle Reese, a Tech-Com sergeant who had already made friends with John Connor, volunteered to take part in the assault on the SkyNet Central Node in Colorado. However, he was asked to take part in the attack on the complex in Los Angeles. As a result of the agreed assaults, Skynet was destroyed, but at the last moment its computers start a time machine, which again teleports the T-800 terminator to the past to destroy Sarah Connor, John's mother.
Next comes the T-1000, played by Lee Ben Hong. The attack on a woman was noted in 1984 programs. To counteract this action, Kyle Reese is also sent to the past. "Terminator: Genesis" film is a turning point, the subsequent series are connected with it in meaning.
The T-1000 arrives in 1984 before Kyle Reeves and appears before him in the form of a policeman. During the pursuit of Sarah and Kyle, the terminator falls into a trap specially adapted for him, where it is destroyed by nitric acid. But before that, a lot of events take place, one way or another connected with John Connor and his mother.
The film recalls that the T-1000 terminator already once pursued Sarah - in 1973, but then, by an illogical coincidence, the T-800 saved her. Parents of the woman died. As then the terminators fell into the past, the film did not specify. The exact chronology of events is not so important, since periods of active activity of killer robots stretch for decades.
Liquidator or Savior
In fact, the terminator is a superhero in a negative sense, in the first series he is represented by an uncompromising and soulless liquidator. However, the killing machine gradually softens, and in some films loyalty to humanity is already noticeable. The terminator robot is ready to destroy people, but at the same time it protects them from the invasion of cars. Perhaps this is a defect of Skynet, or maybe, on the contrary, part of the program embedded in the terminator.
Continuation
In 1991, the film "Terminator-2" was released, in which a completely new version of the terminators created by the Skynet system was introduced. Technology did not allow programming robots, so they worked in a self-learning format, had a certain intellect, and this sometimes forced them to switch to the side of people. In doing so, the terminators violated the basic principles of their existence, they stopped destroying humanity. The film "Terminator 2" marked the beginning of a series of stories about invincible liquid metal killers. People were frantically looking for ways to deal with the aliens, and soon the first results of these searches, so far only theoretical, began to appear.
Characters and their embodiment
The main roles of Terminator 2: Doomsday are distributed as follows:
- Terminator T-800 - Arnold Schwarzenegger.
- Sarah Connor - Linda Hamilton.
- Terminator T-1000 - actor Robert Patrick.
- John Connor - Edward Furlong.
- Adult John Connor - Michael Edwards plays the role.
- Dr. Peter Silberman - actor Earl Boen.
Unexpected intercessor
The American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger successfully plays the role of the T-800 terminator, who, after a series of adventures, begins to defend Sarah Connor. He has to endure a difficult confrontation with his counterpart T-1000, the role of which is played by Hollywood actor Robert Patrick. The terminator of the new generation in its execution gives the impression of a deadly machine in a human form that cannot be defeated. But with all the apparent power, there was one weak link.
Confrontation
The creation of the T-1000 character was caused by the need to maximize the role of the new generation of terminators against the backdrop of the loyalty to people from the devices of the T-800 and T-600 series. New developments required a relative balance in the struggle between obsolete models and the latest versions. Therefore, the creation of the character of the invincible T-1000 was quite logical and logical from the point of view of the development of the plot. The image was invented by the scriptwriters, taking into account the further exciting and merciless struggle.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
This is the second film about the intellectual liquidators created by Skynet.
Model T-1000 - the terminator, existing so far in a single copy, arrives from the future with the goal of destroying John Connor. But the terminator of the previous model, the outdated T-800, defends the youth. There is a clash of two technologies with an unpredictable ending.
T-1000, the latest generation terminator, is created from a polysplav according to the most advanced nanotechnologies. The liquid metal base of the mechanism is radically different from the previous metal structure with the endoskeleton. Now the T-1000 model is a terminator with a monolithic and homogeneous structure, it does not have mechanical joints, moving parts. No rods, hinges and springs.
T-1000 is a terminator that is not amenable to mechanical destruction, since after all injuries they instantly restore their previous shape. If a fragment is irretrievably lost, all other parts generate the missing part within a few seconds.
Invulnerability
The terminator 2 T-1000 fighting vehicle is so perfect that, it would seem, against any means are powerless. The use of firearms is pointless, since bullets pass through liquid metal matter as through oil, without even leaving a trace. An explosion of a powerful TNT charge can tear the robot apart, but after a second the fragments scattered tens of meters will reunite.
The only weapon that can slow the T-1000 reaction for several moments and cause temporary paralysis is a large-caliber explosive bullet if it works in the very middle of the terminator’s chest. But the fact is that this charge can’t explode inside the T-1000, it will simply pass right through without delay and work somewhere far from the target. The film "Terminator 2: Doomsday" evokes a sense of despair, the mortally dangerous liquid metal guest from the future seems so invulnerable. He can not even resist the robots, the same as he, but created using other technologies.
Transformation
Terminator 2 T-1000 does not have vital centers, which means that it cannot be hit or destroyed. In addition, the active combat effectiveness of the device goes beyond the reasonable. T-1000 can change its chemical formula and become either liquid or diamond solid. It is able to modify, seep through any obstacles, holes, cracks. It has the property of mimicry, easily changes color and its color in semitones. His limbs, if necessary, turn into blades, hooks, peaks or rapiers.
The T-1000 has inhuman power, in one movement the terminator can destroy a three-story house, and to kill a defenseless person, special efforts are not required. The creators of killer robots are counting on this, their goal is the mass destruction of people around the world. And since the end justifies the means, Skynet improves existing models and develops new ones.
Transformations
A high degree of plasticity allows the T-1000 terminator to gain special opportunities for integration into the human community. Unlike its predecessors, the T-800 and T-600 models with a standard appearance that can only change the voice, the new liquidator has the ability to completely copy the appearance of any person to the smallest detail. To do this, the T-1000 terminator needs to establish direct contact with the object and spend about an hour with it.
The end of the invincible T-1000
On the whole, the terminator of the last generation, immune to external influences, turned out to be unstable to thermal extremes and began to lose stability from extremely low, and then very high temperatures. At the same time, its functions were radically violated, and, thus, a weak spot in the structure was revealed. In addition to high temperatures, liquid nitrogen acted negatively on the T-1000, forcing it to change color. In the end, the terminator was destroyed in a vessel with molten metal during his fight with the T-800 in the steel shop.
