I do like the love story, but if you think about it past surface level it's pretty creepy lol😂

@@benderbendingrodriguez420 think it's only really creepy from John's point of view, he knows that Kyle is his father but that he must send him back in time to bang his mum ...

@@mikegwillis ya Sarah's part overall is innocent... Reese just seems like a creep to me haha, doesn't affect any love for the movie, its just an aspect I can't look past

@@benderbendingrodriguez420 I never saw it in a creepy way like that. He was surviving for years, saw all his friends, everyone important to him being ripped to shreds, in a world of no hope. The only thing he had was her photo. His mission to eventually go back and protect her. It's only natural that her picture becomes his only hope in the darkness. Of course I don't think he admitted it to even himself until after he met her.

He definitely wasn't right for the role...the glove didn't fit.

Absolutely! I love Cameron's anesthetic from this era. The blue hues have always been a signature of his, in my book.

Indeed. They show a world that is gritty, real and live in. Star Wars did the same thing with A New Hope.

The Avatar films are truly at the bottom of his output. Maybe tied with True Lies.

God thank goodness someone else thinks this. Those avatar movies are absolute toilet.

All we ever wanted was Blu-ray releases of True Lies and the Abyss but Cameron won’t give them to us because he’s busying himself with fluff vanity projects nobody asked for.

Apparently the Abyss is ready to go but got delayed because of the pandemic. And now that Disney owns Fox...@@billr3053

Indeed. Terminator 1 & 2 and Aliens are as good as it’s gets for sci-fi action films. Pity he is wasting his peak years with all these silly Avatar films.

"Ow, my back!" that's Spider-man 2 .

Correct. When you compare it to the disposable junk they make now days that are 98% CGI and look like giant computer games. I’ll take the 80’s any day thanks.

The sequels after the first two are a waste of time. Even though the ending of T2 was perfect, wrapping everything up with destroying the research for skynet and Sarah making her piece with the T800. I still think they could make another decent Terminator movie that would add to the first two, but they just can't seem to do it. I think its mainly down to Cameron not being the director. I know hes been one of the producers on one or two of them, but its not the same.

Yup; then got his ass sued off and immediately copped a settlement, since he was dumb enough to admit the rip-off to a journalist from Cinefantastique (I think it was that magazine), who had it on tape and alerted Ellison. Cameron had the gall to claim it was a money grab, on the commentary. He's lucky that Ellison wasn't in the room, for that one.

T2 is just action and effects its story and ideas are shit. The original is far superior.

@@calisthenicsmachine9725 I don't agree with that. I think both films work together beautifully as one incredible narrative.

@drakenfist I've heard that before, and i don't agree or see it that way at all. T2 completely goes against and ruins T1 T2 is terrible.

@@calisthenicsmachine9725 That's a terrible take. T1 is my favorite, but T2 is a great film in it's own right and connects to the first really well in terms of themes. What many miss about T2 is it's about motherhood and fear of the future. More importantly it's everything Sarah experienced and was scared of in the first one but magnified.

@drakenfist No, it's not T2 retcons T1 and goes against what was established that isn't an opinion either that is a fact. T2 is great as an action film and a cgi spectacle, but as a sequel to the original It's not good. You can like it, that's fine, but to say it doesn't contradict and break the rules that were established in the original would be folly.

It's a fun movie with lots of parallels, but I'd say it's closer to t2

Well, there is an open matte 35mm film source that already has a 720p test scan. But once the guy gets enough funds, he wants to re-scan it to full 4k.

Gaining almost 10k in less than half a year is promising though!

@@kaitlyn__L yes! This is some of the finest review content on yt so it’s well deserved

@@mhoppy6639 the tight writing, and excellent music and foley jokes, really elevate it above many other vague recap-and-opinion channels. It’s like the way we remember review columns from magazines rather than how they actually were, because this time there’s no stuffy editor to satisfy.

That’s exactly why the jerkiness in the stop motion works for me as well. It’s meant to be uncanny, after all. Robots with big pistons do move kind of jerky.

to catalogue Ellison's various beefs would require a very, very, long video.

@@StamFine To catalogue Ellison's ego would require a feature-length documentary! Oh wait -- they did that!

@@StamFineHardly a beef, since he had taped evidence of Cameron admitting to stealing the plot ideas from those stories, while being interviewed by a journalist, who contacted Ellison for comment.

@@AvengerII So, t's egotistical to defend your copyright? Hunh; you learn something new every day. It's not ego when you have the talent and awards to back it up.

@@jeffnettleton3858you don't know the history of Harlan Ellison, DO YOU? Moron...

I mainly agree I do like T3 quite a bit but none of the sequels are objectively good follow ups to the first. Especially the massively overrated T2 which changed the franchise completely.

Yeah T2 was overrated and over hyped, I was very disappointed when I saw it for the first time. The rest of the franchise never got the budget or creative freedom they deserved to be truly great and that a real shame as you could tell lots of different stories in universe.

@@blackedd623 The budget was certainly there and I don’t believe that there are lots of different stories to tell in universe. T1 was extremely self contained it never needed a sequel because the story was finished. Then T2 came along and really convoluted it thankfully T3 rectified the errors and closed the loop. I believe a proper sequel to the original that wouldn’t have been a massive contradiction like T2 was would have been set showcasing the future war. T2 changed so many things in the franchise though to where it could never truly recover. T3 picked up the messed up pieces from T2 pretty well and corrected course. Salvation definitely had the right idea but it was executed very poorly genisys was a trash reboot that never should have been made and dark fate was just a failed pathetic attempt to be the real T3 that was made to appease T2 fanboys. T1 and T3 are the 2 films I genuinely love in the franchise and the rest are crap to varying degrees.

Well Bishop never died in this franchise

at least it wasn't an ad for printers

Speaking of Lance Henrikson, Millennium is still one of my favourite ever series.

@@FrostedSeagull Very underrated series, it should have gone on for much longer.

I heard somewhere that for a while he was originally considered for the part of the Terminator. Would have made more sense for an infiltration unit but cinematically [although he's a very good actor] wouldn't have compared with Arnold.

The silly stuff in T3 is very prevlant in T2 as well. T2 is the most happy wave colorful kids movie out of the first 3.

@@calisthenicsmachine9725 Arnold's Rise in Fame & Ego... T1, basically unknown B-list actor playing a modern monster. T2... Now he's only Ever going to be a Hero (until the woke era)... T3... Now he's a Grandfather and No One can tell him the Pink Glasses Gag should have just been a blooper. T4 is just a CGI Replica. And 5&6 woke & woker.

well, they invented an atom bomb to shoot at an asteroid.

@@StamFine no it was professor arturo

Lol. But I think she was portrayed as being single when Reece appeared. No hint of another man in the picture.

@@paulohagan3309 one night stand prior to the first film

@@kaydog2450 If so, luckiest one night stand ever in the world of the movie.
