The Terminator (1984) REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@fkw1239]

Sad fact: When Kyle speaks about the photograph of Sarah, he always used to wonder what she was thinking in that moment. At the end of the scene, when the picture is finally taken, we found out in that moment she was thinking of him all along.

[@Jordan-Ramses]

She was thinking about how he was dead. :)

[@magustobias8827]

I'll do you one better: Kyle died without knowing if he succeeded in his mission to save the woman he loved... let alone the future.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Get out! You figured that out all on your own?

[@ojtheviking]

I see this comment all the time under Terminator reaction vids. Wonder who's copied who.

[@tallicafan85]

great movie. second one is great too. yes 80s and 90s where great to grow up in, i miss those days.

[@damianstarks3338]

I live both the 80s and 90s the 90s is my childhood

[@starlord5032]

Imagine you are living in 1984, you are 7 years old and watched Terminator for the first time. That was my experience and it was one of the most profound experiences of my life. Terminator 2 was arguably better but the first Terminator movie is Nostalgiac.

[@fxzero666]

I saw it at the same age but in the 90s and it gave me horrific nightmares for a while... that Terminator kept coming after me!

[@TommygunNG]

"1984... Ohhh..., I wasn't even born." You're making us feel old out here!

[@victorplekter613]

Great reaction. Interested to see your reaction to Terminator 2. The story continues.

[@heterophony2]

James Cameron is a genius. Making Kyle give his life for Sarah resonates deep down inside us. It makes Kyle a self-sacrificing, Christ-figure hero, instead of just a hard-core soldier. There is an oddly elegiac tone here for a sci-fi action film. Sad but inspirational.

[@MDBowron]

well John Connor himself is like the return of Jesus Christ, making The Terminator film in ways a Nativity STory, with Sarah being Mary, Kyle being Gabriel the angel of prophecy and Joseph, and The Terminator Herod's soldiers sent to kill the MEssiah before he's born. It's also a fantasy time-travel post-apocalyptic war action retro period historical drama thriller mystery police procedural horror sci-fi dark comedy religious epic romance

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

How on Earth can you compare Kyle to Jesus when Kyle wasn't capable of Godly acts of healing???? Plus, Kyle was a thief, and therefore a sinner, so I'm offended by you making such a comparison.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

@@MDBowron John Connor never returned like Jesus Christ, as he was never killed, and never came back from the dead. Also, Jesus never needed anyone to protect Him. There was a time in the Bible when a bunch of jews tried to kill Him in rage at His Teachings, but because the time hadn't yet arisen for Jesus' Sacrifice, Jesus simply made it impossible for his assailants to physically touch Him as he departed from their company.

[@UTU49]

"There is an oddly elegiac tone here for a sci-fi action film. Sad but inspirational." I have an obsession with Sci-Fi movies that are sad, sentimental, or emotional.

[@heterophony2]

@@UTU49 Tragedy always gets me. That’s why the best of the new Star Wars movies is obviously Rogue One!

[@SG-js2qn]

"The Terminator" is a good one to start with. "Alien" is another good one for you, and "Blade Runner." I get the impression that these would fit with the styles of movies that you like. And they're great classic movies.

[@jamesbronson4380]

I knew you were going to like this movie !! But you’re going to be amazed with the second one !! Also written and directed by James Cameron. You should watch also “ Predator “ with Arnold. You gonna be surprised !!!

[@spiritscar]

Nice to see you take a break from all the emotionally heavy super dramatic movies and go for some more thought provoking sci-fi action. I think part of the fun of such reaction channels is exploring the range of stories and styles of vastly different movies across the board.

[@EdmontonRealEstate01]

I don't know if you've ever heard of Arnold Schwarzenegger who is the Terminator in this movie, but is is one of the most famous body builders of all time along with a whole bunch of other fields including real estate and politics. He has plenty of movies he's stared in that you'd love to react to and was one of the most iconic action movie stars of the eighties and nineties. That man has ambition and determination running through his veins.

[@TommygunNG]

"The police are always late." When seconds matter, police are only minutes away.

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

An awesome horror/sci-fi movie. I always liked it since I first saw it in the 80s, but I think the second one is even better. Going to go watch you watch that one now. 😀

[@oobrocks]

99.9% of us wouldn’t believe Reese’s story

[@michelegraham1181]

Fun Fact: Linda Hamilton broke her ankle before filming. It was still injured when she did the scene where she and Kyle run down the hill as the truck chases them. James Cameron told her that if she fell, she would have to roll to the right as the semi-truck would not be able to stop. During the take as she was carrying Kyle, she felt her ankle start to give out and she had to grit her teeth and barrel through the pain because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get out of the way in time. What a trooper.

[@SuperFurry68A]

I'm glad you enjoyed this, Olavity. This is one of my all-time favourite science fiction movies, and I really enjoyed watching you experience it for the first time. I could tell how much you enjoyed it. So glad you picked up on the soundtrack as well. It's something I've always enjoyed in the movie myself. Brad Fiedel did such a great job with it. I love the titles, especially. I really enjoyed watching you watch this. Such a great reaction.

[@budweiser600]

Unless I miss my guess, you're in for one wild ride with the next Terminator film.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

This movie was incredibly influential on early games. And the minimalist soundtrack was very effective in setting the mood and was easy to emulate with early sound technology. One of the best recent scifi movie is Arrival. I can't promise no crying though... ;)

[@kennyfordham6208]

"Maybe, she's starting to like Reese?" Me - "You can say that (😏)."

[@lordofchaosinc.261]

"Unless the Terminator is sad" Kyle might have an opinion on that. Also respect for not asking what a phone book is.

[@Sherman1fan]

Great to react to the "older" movies, you can see how technology advances. ( so you are not jaded by today's CGI and see how they were done before, sometimes really good if not great).

Your reaction at 42:17 is priceless. It is interesting how human brain quickly react to a self question that immediately evoke a possible answer (where is Kyle?), causing an emotional impact. These videos are really useful to perform psychological observations.

[@Jekyll_Island_Creatures]

I'm really glad you talked about how much you enjoyed the 1980s music from the movie. This style of music is called synthwave. It's actually becoming popular again. A new synthwave artist made a tribute album to this movie, check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnm2cmOGnsSokMU

[@chrisby30]

Great reaction The Terminator can be classed as a Sci-Fi horror action romance movie It's also one of the best movies ever made, now you need to watch T2 which is better

[@d1tto232]

More people like the second one more but personally this one is my favorite.

[@Jalynfein]

You should definitely react to Terminator 2. There's only two Terminator movies. Anyone who tells you different is just trying to hurt you.

[@jdogjohnson9038]

Realistically there is but 1&2 are the ones that matter I have 1-5 and honestly after 2 they aren't that great.

[@MDBowron]

@Andreas Nilsen Terminator Salvation isn't as bad either, showing more about the origins of the T-800, Kyle Reese and John Connor becoming leader

[@celestinoquintana7725]

Now You've got to see The Terminator 2

[@dustinkennemer5033]

"inner self" YES, this is how I pick movies, too 🙂

[@15blackshirt]

This and Conan the Barbarian helped launch Arnold Schwarzenegger to superstardom, after he was a highly successful businessman and bodybuilder. Director James Cameron got inspiration for this movie from a fever dream and John Carpenter's Halloween. Linda Hamilton starred in the film adaption of Steven King's Children of the Corn after this. Director James Cameron followed this up with the screenplay of Rambo: First Blood Part 2, Aliens, the Abyss, Terminator 2, True Lies, Titanic, Sanctum and Avatar. To see Arnold as a bodybuilder, I highly recommend watching the bodybuilding docudrama Pumping Iron

[@damianstarks3338]

Great reaction to this iconic sci fi movie it is a pure masterpiece. 43:17 I love that line too.

[@TommygunNG]

12:11 -- YES! I loved '80s hair!

[@toddpatrick8254]

If you liked this movie... You will love Terminator 2. T-2 is one of the films that grossed SO much money at the box office and who knows, you might just meet John Connor. Lol. Sarah is back along with Arnold for round 2. 😂 Can't wait to see your reaction to the sequel! Great review and keep up the great work!!

[@SauerkrautSandwich93]

FUN FACT: Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally planned to play Kyle Reese while others were considered to portray the title character. This includes Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and even O.J. Simpson, whom director James Cameron passed over because he didn't believe he would be a convincing killer (insert irony joke here). However when Cameron met Arnold, he instantly saw him in the role. Arnold was reluctant at first because he didn't want to portray a mindless killer, but agreed because the movie was so underground at the time that if it failed, it wouldn't hurt his career.

[@davidhasselblad2898]

Absolutely love this movie glad you did too and got to go back to some scifi nostalgia. As you were geussing the logic of the film I was like "hey her scifi logics coming back!" That's always so enjoyable to reaction from people. The second movie is a masterpiece as well. Many claim it's better then the first. In concept to me they are equal. But the second movie has such a budget, and is so chock full of new elements and a new story and has such a different atmosphere but it works so, so flippin' well. I think you'd really love it at least as much as this one. At least.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

"Hey buddy, you got a dead cat in there, or what?" Best line in this whole movie - T2 is excellent, but after that, move on; it's just more of the same. Franchise hell. There's plenty of other great movies out there. Know when to walk away. Good job. Great reaction -

[@StevesFunhouse]

Again, why not let her make that decision on her own. I'm sure there are plenty of movies and shows out there that they may like that you won't. Why not let her be her, and you be you ???

[@michaelbriefs9764]

You are adorable and your reaction was perfect! I'm so glad you loved that film because the sequels are really great too! I'm psyched for you! Keep going!

[@brandonflorida1092]

Everything about you and your reaction is good, but I'd be much more likely to watch you reacting to good movies as you have been lately, than watching the kind of material you were before. Keep up the good work.

[@robbob5302]

You know how mountain climbers will scale smaller mountains, to "acclimate" themselves, before they climb Mount Everest? Well, this movie was released, to acclimate you for Terminator 2.

[@mkyGTR_R35]

I like ur reaction of dis movie... it was genuinely like innocent young child..keep going

[@CrownlessKing88]

I don’t think you’re talking too much. I like that you’re so into it!

[@namelessjedi2242]

Definitely watch Terminator 2! One of the great sequels of all time. Just don’t go beyond that in the series, it goes downhill once James Cameron is not making them anymore.

[@StevesFunhouse]

That last comment is a matter of personal opinion ... 1 that is not shared by everyone. Why not let her decide for herself and stop pushing YOUR agenda on her ???

[@Gabriel_Cook]

Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines was a fine theatrical release.

[@darkerthanblack4430]

​​@@StevesFunhouseWell allow her to decide if she wants to listen to this person's opinion or not. Just bc you don't agree with someone's opinion or take doesn't mean they shouldn't have them or share them. Some of y'all on KZbin need to chill df out fr

[@TommygunNG]

Two-edged sword when it comes to having children: On the one hand, it's a horrible and dangerous existence for them. On the other hand, reproduction must occur to prevent a gap in the human race that will enable the machines to win. This latter point was made in the 2003 Battlestar Galactica re-imagining. Ultimately, the question is answered by the fact that people are people, and things will happen.

[@tjsogmc]

The 80's were full of music and colors and fashions. It was a more positive time when we felt that we had a bright future ahead. It was a mercy that we couldn't see the future we actually got where people are permanently offended, angry, and violent. Everything today is bland: the music is processed by computers and all sounds the same, shopping is done online (God, I miss the malls) and every store and restaurant is a shade of brown- movies today are just CGI porn with no character developments or plot lines and devoid of all creativity. Nobody laughs anymore. That is what I miss most about the 80's, everywhere you went their was laughter and people having fun and joy. All gone now.

[@Kingrobledojr]

i disagree there is still good in the world you are just not seeing it right.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

You should've seen the 70's 😉

[@charliepepper333]

Great reaction! Rest in piece punks! 😂 Definitely Lord of the Rings next…it will total surprise you and also bring a lot of new subs. We are a very large fan base. Looking forward to your next reaction

[@robbob5302]

That "handsome, evil guy" is named Arnold Schwarzenegger. He went on to become one of the most successful actors in Hollywood. And governor of California. (People called him The Governator.)

[@williamjones6031]

1. Linda Hamilton ROCKED. She's really built in T2. Must watch next. 2. Along with Lance Henriksen/Vukovich and Michael Biehn/Reese also played in Aliens as Bishop and Hicks. 3. The late Bill Paxton is the only actor whose characters have died in The Terminator, Alien and Predator series. 4. Ginger's boyfriend must be a lousy lay if she needs her music when they rock and roll.

[@sca88]

You should love Terminator 2 also and maybe even more like a lot of people do. I had to go watch it a bunch of times at the movie theater.

[@danhenry8163]

There are 4 terminator movies that are connected to each other about John Connor Terminator 1-3 and Terminator Salvation. There's two other newer ones that are way different alternate timelines that have nothing to do with him. Terminator Genisys and Terminator Dark Fate.

[@orlandoaugustostock4578]

Classic movie from eighties.

There are three movie series, the music of which is instantly recognizable to people: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Terminator. The reason? Incredibly good movies, and great music, of course.

[@aldunlop4622]

And Predator, the starting music is brilliant.

[@MATT-2033]

THE TERMINATOR is the best movie ever.

[@jefferyoetter6884]

Yes it's a great movie and the T2 is even better that will blow your mind. Nothing spoiled here but in the beginning, it's said that this time, 2 Terminators are sent back and a protector. The question is, which one will be reach my son,first John Conner, first. There is no spoiler because 2 Terminators are sent back and so is a protector. This opening line is no spoiler. If you do decide to watch T2, you will see why that this sentence is so true. I hope you watch it

[@catspaw3092]

It was only a couple of years ago it dawned on me that John manipulated Kyle into falling for Sarah & that those hours that Sarah said she & Kyle had together they loved a lifetimes worth was utter bs. They never had time to really get to know each other & their supposed love in the sack was just them banging each other they were desperate for human contact because they were being hunted by a futuristic machine that never eats or sleeps it's always one step behind them. As Kyle said "It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it feels no remorse, pity or fear & it absolutely will not stop ever until you are dead" such chilling words. In Genysis when Kyle gets pissed at Sarah for not telling him he was dad with Sarah firing back that she didn't tell him anything for two days whereas John kept the truth from Kyle his whole life. So really Kyle should be angry at John not Sarah Jai & Emilia's chemistry so off that I didn't want them getting together I rather see Sarah's adventures & relationship with Pops you really by Arnold & Emilia as father & daughter.

First time viewer here. Just a heads up, a lot of movies, the MCU included, includes a lot of pop culture references, so if you can, you'll get more out of those movies if you're familiar with them. You might want a guide to make sure you watch, for example, Point Break AND the LOTR trilogy before watching the first Avengers movie, Empire Strikes Back before Civil War or Aliens before Infinity War etc.

[@jamesgilburt1050]

Hi! How are you, lovely lady? That's great you've seen this sci fi classic :) I highly recommend the sequel - Terminator 2; Judgement Day (1991) Please react to that and also Memphis Belle (1990) too. I like your reactions and channel. Keep up the brilliant work :)

Sarah Connor begins as a family restaurant waitress, and has an epic Hero's journey. "Los Angeles, 2029: Bender Bending Rodriguez' ideal world of the past." 36:42 Ask your grandparents or older folks who lived through World War II. Life was basic and fast between the whiz of bullets, the whine of aerial bombs and explosions. 44:52 That is some obsolete technology there. It's an Eastman Kodak Kodamatic 940 that used Kodak Instant Picture Film, co-developed by Kodak and Fuji. Polaroid, miffed at Kodak's attempt to "get a slice of the action," sued Kodak Instant Film out of existence before "disappearing like Pontiac." Fuji was allowed to "keep it domestic." Fuji Instax is a descendant of that technology, and the last one standing, photographically. The ghost of Rochester still makes some motion picture and still film, but it is a shadow of it's former self.

[@aranerem3767]

Great movie

[@Toryumon4Ever]

If you do plan to watch Terminator 2, please watch the original Theatrical Cut. Don't watch the extended or uncut version, those extra scenes and alternate ending actually ruins the movie. In this case, more doesn't make it better, it actually makes it worse. Also Terminator 3 while nowhere near the level of Terminator and Terminator 2, but it is actually quite entertaining. You can stop after that.

[@mikedimples]

I second this

[@jh5131]

Agree, while not as strong as 1st two T3 isn't bad but the ending is phenomenal

[@Gabriel_Cook]

The Special Edition extra scenes are great and make existing scenes make sense. The alternate ending is not included.

[@Toryumon4Ever]

@@Gabriel_Cook Not really. The dream sequence with Kyle, killing Max the dog, the forced T800 smile, etc was all unnecessary and does nothing to make the movie better. By not having those scenes in it actually made the movie flow smoother.

[@Gabriel_Cook]

@@Toryumon4Ever The dream sequence is important. The scenes where they reconfigure the T-800 chip was great. In the theatrical version we see the T-1000 glitch once and it isn't even clear what happened. In the Special Edition there are several glitches which showed that when the T-1000, frozen in nitroglycerin shattered from that gunshot that it was actually damaged by that.
