a terminator in TERMINATOR ZERO an animated series coming to Netflix
In 1984, James Cameron changed film history forever with The Terminator, a science fiction movie that was part action film, part slasher, and which made Arnold Schwarzenegger one of the most recognizable faces on the planet. In 1991, he somehow made an even better sequel with Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but it's been all downhill for the franchise since then, with several nonsensical follow-ups and a short-lived TV series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Skynet's launch hasn't happened, yet Malcolm is traumatized by relentless dreams showing him the onslaught and nuclear war to come. For much of Terminator Zero, the viewer is left to guess how he could know so much. Where is his information coming from? Malcolm might be one of our main protagonists, but the mystery surrounding his knowledge also makes him a figure we might not be able to trust.
Product I.G. has been around since 1987, and has found fame from animating everything from Ghost in the Shell to the animated scenes in Kill Bill Vol. 1. Their animated work is in top form, creating a beautiful world that's a sight to behold even when the surrounding plot stumbles. There is so much that Terminator Zero gets right, but sadly, it fumbles at times by not focusing on that enough. One rather interesting subplot is that, in Japan, guns are hard to come by.
'Terminator Zero' Goes for Shocks and Exposition Over Action It only consists of eight episodes that aren't even thirty minutes a piece, but Terminator Zero still feels overly long, with lengthy periods of exposition and downtime that could have been condensed. It may have been much better off as a movie, and nothing proves that more than the final episodes. So many scenes are simply of Malcom talking to Kokoro on a screen.
