TERMINATOR 7: END OF WAR – The Full Trailer (2024) Paramount Pictures

The inspiration behind this video:

As a semi-reboot of the Terminator franchise, Terminator: Genysis would present a T-800 model played by Schwarzenegger in a completely new light as a reprogrammed Terminator sent back to the early '70s to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke). This Terminator would take on the unique role of not just protecting but raising the orphaned Sarah as his daughter, Sarah even coming to call him "Pops" and the T-800 coming to see himself the same way. Terminator: Dark Fate would show another re-invention of the cyborgs from the future. The movie opens with the unthinkable of Schwarzenegger's T-800 killing a young John Connor (Edward Furlong) in 1998.

With no orders left to follow and no way to return to the future, the T-800 would gradually come to learn how much John's death had destroyed Sarah (Linda Hamilton). He would then seek to atone for this act by helping Sarah stop the re-set apocalyptic future, with the T-800 sacrificing itself "for John" in Terminator: Dark Fate's ending. In both cases, Genysis and Dark Fate would do something no other Terminator movies had done by getting inside the heads of the Terminators themselves and guiding them towards becoming, in a sense, human. That very symbolic evolution of machine to man is the untapped Terminator story that Terminator 7 can and should explore.
