![]() ![]() – Never developed much hatred for the new terminator.– Edward Furlong overacted to an annoying degree.+ This is what you think of when you think “ Terminator”.+ Nice story transition from the first movie.+ Even by today’s standards, the effects were pretty sweet.Has since seen it again and confirms that it has definite replay value. Kyle’s Conclusion: Out-dated effects aside, The Terminator lives up to its lofty reputation. – Quotes such as, “I’ll be back,” weren’t delivered as expected.– Brief pseudo-nudity featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger (though it was story-driven nudity).– Cheesy special effects occasionally take you out of story.+ Relatively believable, not as “out there” as other sci-fi films.+ Sci-fi elements are not too overbearing.+ Very engaging you care about Kyle and Sarah, fear the Terminator.+ Simple and original story, enjoyed the humans-against-machines plot.How do they hold up? Here’s a summary of Kyle’s comments on The Terminator: Kyle is a sci-fi newbie, but this makes him oddly qualified to comment on such supposed classics. Whether it’s better than the original is debatable, but T2 has undoubtedly achieved action movie pantheon status. The action is ramped up dramatically and the paradoxes become even more paradoxical in this highly successful sequel. Schwarzenegger reprises his role, this time being tasked with protecting young Connor from an advanced model of terminator (Robert Patrick). Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) continues the story with John Connor ( Edward Furlong), Sarah’s son, now ten years old. All manner of mayhem and time-travel paradoxes ensue in this seminal classic. Kyle Reese, a human protector (Michael Biehn) is also sent back to prevent the Terminator from completing his mission. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as the titular villain, a cyborg assassin sent back in time to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) humanity’s only hope in the future war between man and machine.

It may sound creepy, but I like to watch their reactions as much as I like to watch the movie itself. One of my favorite things to do is share my favorite movies with someone who hasn’t seen them before.
