@@iainmulholland2025 I personally really liked Dark Fate a lot.

You also got to catch up with Sarah after 30 years which was great, and you had a wicked supercharged female heroine too - sorry, can't remember the name of the actress or the name of her character. Anyway she was effin great. DF is a dark friggin movie in the big scheme of things, but also cool - or so I personally thought anyway.

Her best role in my opinion is as the main character in the Black Mirror episode Yorkie. She always brings something special to her character, and always feels very genuine and natural.

I remember seeing this for the first time in 1992, I was 6 years old. My parents had just got a VHS player, we tried to rent it from the store in town but there was a 3 month wait for it.

I couldn't believe the effects I was seeing, the shotgun reload from Arnold on the bike and of course that ending as he's lowered into the steel...

Or rather the only consequences are how it might affect the mission. Terminators have no moral code, whether they shoot you or don't shoot you is purely a matter of utility.

[@nonconsensualopinion]

I feel that it's a learning moment for both of them. John has never given orders before. For the first time he's got this Terminator following each order he gives. Just like the human soldiers in the future will. He tells him to take care of those guys that came to his rescue and they almost got killed by the Terminator. It was the first time John learned that when given that power, the power to command soldiers/weaponry, you have to use it with a sense of responsibility and maturity. He realized that he almost killed those guys.

[@havok6280]

The problem with the subsequent movies is that they undermine the central theme of the first two movies: there is no fate but what we make. Some of them are fun to watch, but the first two stand alone. If you want more Terminator in your life, the TV show, the Sarah Connor Chronicles, is quite good. Sadly Fox canceled it prematurely (like Firefly), so it ends on a cliffhanger...

[@josephlilly6038]

I would actually argue the opposite. Yes, all the characters in the first 2 films talk about how no fate is set, but all the action is being driven because they can't stop what the future holds. They beat the Terminator in the first film and it was precisely that event that started Skynet. In this movie they destroy all the chips, but the knowledge and research was still out there. they can't stop the inevitable. While Fatalism itself is a terrible ideology, it is expertly portrayed in the first 3 films. I think the third one forces the viewer to recognize this and is partially why its not as well liked. I agree that it's not nearly as good as the first 2, but I think the third is worth watching just for that. Also yes, the Sarah Connor Chronicles is pretty great.

[@Pecos1]

I think this one is better than the first because of the last scene with the Terminator. When he said he understood now why humans cry but it was something he could never do, he was very subtly telling John he wanted to cry, and that he was missing John already. That, and the part where Sarah is talking about T with John, and how T, out of all the would-be step-dads out there, was the one perfect being for John. How she described him was so heartfelt.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Because they were stupid. The Terminator said he was programmed to learn, (except accents apparently), and the point of his model was specifically to infiltrate human hideouts. He would have learned that him about to cease to exist would have been where a human would cry, but they left that feature out at the factory so he couldn't. The Terminator is more akin to that reliable car you used to own and took you everywhere. People form emotional attachments to inanimate objects all the time, especially ones that are useful to them. Look at the way he and John interacted. John treated him like s big toy, and the Terminator was incapable of disobeying him - what kind of relationship is that? Not a real one. You seem to forget, the same model Terminator was trying to kill them the last time they met. This one was set to "protect" instead of "kill" at the factory.

[@punkem733]

The only reason he made the abyss is to test those CGI and if he could do the T-1000 justice or at all. Cameron or someone said after T1 the studio were going nuts over a sequel, and normally they would have had it ready for theaters by 1987, but the CGI tech wasn't good enough. They waited years, until the tech caught up, and he made the abyss to test out the CGI that's why the creature is water, he was testing how would the liquid metal look as CGI.

Great reaction as expected Big props to Linda Hamilton's great acting and physical training. Its incredible how believable Sarah Connor's transformation from slightly naive friendly waitress in the original to buff military commando in T2. Sarah almost became what she feared and hated. A version of a terminator had she killed Miles Bennett Dyson. I think its cool how the scene when you see Sarah go nuts during an interview in the psychiatric hospital being recorded and shown on a tv monitor as its extremely similar to when Kyle Reese is interrogated by police and you see him loose his temper also being recorded and viewed on a tv monitor. It's also very cool that Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie is seen looking very much like the Sarah Connor from the original movie in the dream sequence in the playground with a child just before a nuclear explosion. Its crazy how Sarah's skeleton is still holding onto the fense during the blast. So intense. This movie has such great visual effects especially for 1991 The first time I saw cgi effects similar was in 1989 the Abyss which also happens to have actor Michael Biehn aka (Kyle Reese) Jen if you haven't seen the Abyss please consider a reaction to that.

He never acted before this movie. 4) The stepmom is the same actress that played Vasquez in Aliens.

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Jen, the actor who played the T1000 (Robert PAtrick) had to do tons of facial prep to get the physical aspect of the robot demeanor down to a tee. He would practice the cold reactionless stare with friends, family and fellow actors. He would go to gun ranges and practice not to flinch when he fired his weapon or was fired upon. Not flinching when a gun is fired is atually a pretty had facial act to pull off. There was no shortage of physical and mental prep that did not take place to make this movie an absolute classic.

[@Deepthoughtsabound]

He was great in Wayne's World. Lol

[@spinoz2319]

If you think about, the plot of Terminator 2 sounds a bit like Disney film: A boy misses his dead dad and tries to find his long lost mom, meets a robot who wants to know why people cry. Together they have exiting adventures, mom is found, and robot becomes kind of a father figure to the boy. Finally, before he dies, the robot understands why people cry. Real weepie! You should see tv series Sarah Connor Chronicles, in my book it's worthy sequel to T1 and T2. It's more about mother-son relationship than movies could ever be. John is teenager now, and wants to live "normal" life (while waiting and preparing for the apocalypse). They live life of fugitives because not only terminators but also the FBI is looking for them (for blowing Cyberdyne Systems). Lena Hedey as Sarah is great, rivals Linda Hamilton's performance. Little warning: only 2 seasons were made and whole thing ends with major cliffhanger, and some people found it irritating. I'm of the mixed opinion. Yes, I'd had loved to see season 3. Hell, I'd had killed my own grandmother to get it (but, alas, the bitch was already dead :( ) However, having said that, the ending is, at the same time, my favourite cliffhanger ending ever. You see it and - bang! - you get it: "There it is! The whole mythology! No explonation needed! No more storytelling. That's why John Connor becomes John Connor..."

Nice reaction, and for me the best movie of all time. I saw this movie as a kid when it came out months after my dad passed away. One of his last conversations with me was that he had to go away. Because of his illness he knew he was going to die. When I seen this movie as an 8 year old boy, months after my dad had passed, when the Terminator sacrificed himself and John was saying please don’t go, I broke down crying in the theaters. No matter how long it’s been, every time that scene comes on, I still cry. Incredible acting by a kid in that movie for his first role.

Hey Jen, your fear of the T1000 is well founded.

I don't know why but the "thumbs up" as he being lowered into the steel always gets me. Awesome movie, right? 😭

[@jenmurrayxo]

😢👍👍👍

[@nonconsensualopinion]

For me it shows the Terminator's newly acquired sense of emotion. He really does understand why humans cry now. He knows that there's no practical reason for a thumbs up that benefits him personally, but John needs it as a "everything is going to be okay". He does it for no reason other than somebody emotionally benefitted from it. It shows how quickly those machines can learn right from wrong when enabled to do so. It makes me pity the Terminators. They are manufactured killing machines (literally). Like zombies with no control. Skynet creates them with vast intellectual capability but has their processor set to not learn.

1. Linda Hamilton must have been working out with Ah-nold to get ripped like that 😍🥰 2. John's childhood friend looks like the same kid that played Tom Hanks' younger self in BIG.😎 3. Arnold did many of his own stunts in this movie, including riding the motor cycle. At one point he was injured and they had to stop production for a couple of weeks so he could recover 4. What got me with the shotgun action is Arnold did it left handed😲

[@maxducoudray]

I love seeing first time reactions to this because I get to see the response to the twist where Arnold is a good guy. At the time this movie came out the trailers, tv spots and soundtrack videos on MTV all spoiled the twist before the movie was released, so we all went in knowing Arnold wasn't trying to kill John. The movie clearly intended that misdirection and the studios ruined it. What I like best about James Cameron is that he makes sequels that progress stories rather than rehashing them. So often a sequel simply redoes all the popular moments from the first movie. T2 and Aliens each take their story into a new chapter that follows from the first movie but has a new identity all its own.

[@YezaOutcast]

one of the best action movies ever made. period.

[@gatroy13]

I watched this on my big screen tv. I really enjoyed your reaction and commentary. I agree also I liked Arnold's Terminator in this one more. There was great chemistry between him and the boy. Linda Hamilton also was fantastic. I'm looking forward to the next reactions. Take care and be well, See you next time.

[@Billinois78]

Great reaction, Jen! I knew you'd like this one even more than the first. ... but I thought the Worst award might've gone to the face-licker from the hospital. The T-1000 was a very, very cool villain, though. There was a music video for the Guns n Roses song "You Could Be Mine", which appears on the soundtrack (and on one of their albums). Arnold was in the video, in character as the Terminator. The movie always brings that song to mind. It got a lot of airplay at the time on the radio and on an ancient fossil called MTV. The video is on KZbin if you're interested.

[@torikazuki8701]

Okay, Gotta say it- I'm not saying 'Lickerman' was nice, he obviously wasn't. But he did not lick Sarah to be some kind of creepy perv. He did it to verify her catatonia. Sarah was thankfully strong enough to stay in character, but you have to admit, it's a good way to get someone to react!

[@jenmurrayxo]

No sorry there are other ways to professionally check a patient's status & licking them is not at all appropriate

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks Snap! Face licker was The Worst too, good call 👍I'm gonna do a big Awards at the end of year so he'll be on my Overlooked Worst Award list 👌

[@islefinkonnit2738]

Man... this was one of the most anticipated reactions, Jen! Your excitement going in, was contagious! And I had a such a blast watching you react to all the things I loved about this movie. Thank you for validating my feelings lol. Your reaction to Arnold being the protector, was the best lol. You and John being like "Timeout! Stop the bike!" was hilarious lolll So was "you are leaking fluid" when John was crying lol And I thoroughly enjoyed how much you loved John and Arnie's relationship, it was so wholesome! I'm glad you loved Arnie so much ..."I order you not to go!" still kills me. Your thoughts on the T1000 (the villain) are mine exactly: he's fast, strong, agile, he's a tactician, he can can heal almost immediately, and he seems to enjoy kiIling. I first watched T2 when I was a kid, and even now, some of the T1000's kills still creep me out to this day lol. This movie just gets better, the more I watch it. In my head canon, Sarah and John went on to live normal, happy lives lol. I actually saw T2 first, and didn't realise there was a "Terminator 1" until I was an adult lol. I was astonished to see Arnie doing unspeakable things in the first one lol. Glad he's on our side now. Thanks for giving us this awesome content, Jen! You rock!

I’m glad you liked it. It really is a great story and has everything (except a map 😉). It was fun watching you discover Arnold was a good guy in this film. It’s also cool the special effects still stand up. This came out in the early 90s. I remember watching this at sleepovers as a kid. Also your Sarah Connor cosplay is super cute :)

Arnold's Terminator was on AFI's 50 Greatest Movie Villains list for the first movie. He was on their 50 Greatest Movie Heroes list for the same role in this movie. He is the only actor and character on both lists.

[@MrPicklerwoof]

Glad you watched the theatrical version. It works better than the extended version I think.

[@johnsensebe3153]

The deleted scenes are interesting to watch after seeing the film, but when they're reinserted, they kill the movie's pacing. They were deleted for that reason in the first place.

Linda Hamilton trained for months for this movie, workouts n fight skills, she took Sigourney Weavers first female action star role in Alien '79, and took it a new level for all women, future female Hollywood action roles, and young girls!
