I guess it's cool Cameron does a "the dress is blue / the dress is white & gold" bit when cutting some nuclear bomb wires lol

well that was...interesting. Though if I'm rewatching an "underwater sub, don't drop nuclear bombs on each other" movie, probably sticking with Hunt for Red October

Again another cool change Biehn gets to be the heel this time. He's basically playing the Walton Goggins role
maybe I should have watched this before Aliens, it's a nice change that Cameron let's Biehn survive that one

(again fuck you David Fincher lol)

funny this movie basically has thr Armageddon set up (salt of the earth blue collar workers get recruited for big military rescue mission)

probably worked out better for Lena in the long run at least

sorry I cannot take seriously Sarah's love interest in this at all
November 11, 2025 at 10:13 PM
this movie does definitely get a little syrupy in a way I can understand someone preferring the beautiful cold hard circularity of the first movie

that being said I live for the syrupy shit, Cameron turning John into Elliott at the end of ET at the end there

do love Sarah finding herself going Terminator mode against Dyson such a great role reversal (Morton is fantastic in this)

every time someone in that FX show steps into a lab with one of those Cronenburg creatures without a suit on

similarly did not know until my last T1 watch that this guy was a callback. he really failed upwards from tired police station psychologist

I think I heard one of the trailers tipped people off too. Sad because that seems a slam dunk surprise
November 8, 2025 at 10:00 PM
I think I said before but what I would give to be a 1991 cinemagoer going in unspoiled for that Arnie reveal
November 8, 2025 at 9:39 PM
how Cameron must have felt pitching "the first Terminator is back as the protector this time"
November 8, 2025 at 9:31 PM
"There's a storm coming"
"I know"

fucking hard ending
November 7, 2025 at 11:07 PM
I do buy the take that Sarah realises Kyle is John's father even before she sleeps with him (or just as)
November 7, 2025 at 11:03 PM
as part of the generation mostly familiar with T2 it shocked me just how shy & naive Sarah is in this. makes me even more impressed with the sequel pulling off the pivot
November 7, 2025 at 10:37 PM
I'm not surprised Cameron wanted to do an Alien follow-up after Terminator both are basically slasher movies

Paul Winfield one of our most underrated guys

having a dweeby American guy's voice coming out of Schwarzenegger's mouth is funny every time
