Released in 2003, Terminator 3: The Machine Awakens, directed by Jonathan Mosto, is roughly set in the form of John Connor who has been living in Los Angeles since The Original Judgment Day in 1997 did not take place and his mother Sarah Connor died, so that he would never be found by the world. Unexpectedly, although history has been altered, the future Skynet is still alive and smarter, sending a more advanced, sturdy, and only "t-x" Terminator with a female humanoid skeleton back on July 24, 2004, to eliminate all possible members who would become rebels, and the Resistance once again sends a "t-850" Terminator exactly like the original to protect t-x to end the last two goals: John Connor himself and his future wife and deputy leader Kate S.

Released in 2009, Terminator 4: The Savior is set in 2018 by director Michael Gi, which breaks away from the architectural pattern of the first trilogy series, focusing on the war between humans and Skynet after the trial, the positioning between robots and human characters, and how John Connor became the savior of the world. It is important to note that the T-800 Terminator was modeled on Arnold Schwarzenegger's facial image and Roland Chigginger's body and simulated using computer technology. The film received negative reviews from most critics after its release, and Rotten Tomatoes received a freshness rating of 33%, perhaps because there was no Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Terminator 5: Genesis was released in 2015, and director Aaron Taylor, Skynet sent the Terminator to hunt her down when sarah Connor was 9 years old before the first 1984, thus forming another parallel timeline of time and space (sarah Connor in the first part is a weak woman who only learned of Skynet's existence when she was an adult, and in this film, she was already aware of Skynet's existence at the age of 9 and was trained to be a brave and warlike female warrior), and this episode tells the story of this parallel time and space, in addition to Arnold Schwarzenegger's return is also a big attraction. After the release of "Terminator: Genesis", word of mouth was mixed, and many media commented that it "lacked in-depth themes and reasonable ideas".
Terminator 5: Genesis grossed $440 million worldwide.

Afterword: When I saw the reunion of the 73-year-old Schwarzenegger and 64-year-old Hamilton, and the picture of Schwarzenegger saying "I will not come back", I was inexplicably sad, as if I saw a group of teenagers sitting around the black-and-white TV set watching "Terminator" with curiosity and surprise...
