I've always loved how John Connor scans the environment like a machine, to me it portrays that he's spent so much time with them and got to know them on such a level that he can think like them on the battlefield. He cannot be afraid and he has to stay functional. Perfect casting of John as well, looks like a true battle hardened leader.

[@donrumata2274]

All the soldiers were shown as cold-blooded professionals ready to die without hesitation on the orders of the commander for the sake of all mankind. Motivated and professional soldiers are a frightening force. Such soldiers will not be hysterical or commit "stupid heroism", the soldiers will fight extremely effectively and coldly.

[@JemRau]

@@donrumata2274 Nah, they are not soldiers they’re killers. The only thing that is motivating them is revenge, these resistance are bloodthirsty and itchy for killing machines. In the end they will just become as bad as the terminators and that is a very vicious trait. Remember what Ginger said from the first movie on her answering machine? “Machines need love too.”

[@jdfields711]

Yeah, I mean it shows he exudes alot of confidence and leadership having a strong erect posture like Tom Berenger in Platoon, causally standing tall in the middle of a firefight but in reality, he should be really finding cover before he gets hit by plasma.

The Spirit speaks; He is the burning fire, majestic, and judging. The Son of man was witnessed, and God Himself was manifestly manifested. Will you all understand and see what you have gained-nothing but My judgment? God appeared to be all powerful in one Spiritual body, without the slightest flesh or blood joining it from head to foot. He is above the universe, sitting on a glorious throne in the third heaven, ruling over all things! Satan is under My feet; it's in the abyss! I am sitting here talking to you, and everyone who has ear should listen and all that lives should receive it.

@@benn255b3 there is a rumour that it was James Cameron's idea

[@DarthTrader707]

If you read the original screenplay (not the shooting screenplay) or read the novelization, in this scene, what John Connor is really looking at, are the machines starting to shut down, because the resistance had just taken the location where "Skynet" was housed and destroyed the central command (since the time travel additional scenes were cut, Cameron decided to reframe this scene to look like Connor was just observing the battle). Right after this, Connor organizes a trip to that location, because, of course, he knows it's now time for the next step...to send Kyle Reese back in time. It's too bad Cameron had to cut it, because it was a really interesting scene. John Connor knows everything in this scene. He knows the time travel equipment exists, he knows he's going to go to where it's housed, and he knows he's not only going to send someone back in time to stop the Terminator...he's going send his father, Kyle Reese, back. Then, after sending Kyle Reese back (and admitting to one of his top lieutenants the the man, Kyle Reese was actually his father), he knows he's going to reprogram a T-800, and send it back, as well. All of that is known by Connor, when he's looking through those field glasses. It's really quite a cool realization. The novelization also explains why Kyle Reese kept Sarah's picture in his pocket. Sarah was almost as legendary as her son, and members of the resistance kept her picture as an inspiration (Kyle Reese was given the original, by John Connor when he met him briefly, and Kyle Reese mentioned his name to him). In the novel, we learn that even John deferred to Sarah Connor. That's how she died. John Connor tried to order her out of the fight, but Sarah went her own way, and was killed leading a convoy transporting weapons. What a great two movies. Cameron is a creative genius.

This was actually anothet weak spot of the movie, that removed the fear-introducing realism.

It was also contrary to what was established in T-1: when they set T-800 on fire he fell and shut down for a couple of minutes untill the fire burned out. I watched T-1 in the 90ies as a kid and having some experience with PCs I thought that T-800 did an emergency shutdown, as an imscription on mu PC's motherboard claimed it has the ability to emergency cut off the power if overheats. Open your PC's case and plug off the CPU fan's power, you modern PC will use dynamic clocking to decrease frequency to decrease the heat production. At some point your PC will come to a complete halt. Plug the fan again and it will slowly begin increasing frequency and programs will gradually start running again.

While a lot of the specific character stuff can fall a little flat, the overall plot is very in tune with the first two films and manages to not screw up T2, unlike every film sequel since. It was also savaged by critical reviews for a dated engine that made it seem like a game transported from 2012 and rather stale mechanics like basic crafting and lockpicking.

I think it is actually a sly 1984 reference. The whole boot stamping a human face forever line taken to the logical outcome of an AI controlled world. A robotic boot smashing a babies skull while it is ruthlessly hunting anymore potential "parents" Not emotionally or ideologically exerting power for powers sake which is a human trope but going beyond that and demonstrating that the boot doing the stamping in the future won't even be human. And mass eradication of the species is the Skynet answer to that human prediction.

Even Sarah's dialogues are top notch in this movie, i don't get tired listening to it specially the scene where she finally understood the Terminator was saving John. "Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The terminator, would never stop. It would never leave him, and it would never hurt him, never shout at him, or get drunk and hit him, or say it was too busy to spend time with him. It would always be there. And it would die, to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice."

2:25 In the Terminator game from 2019 they re-create this sequence pretty accurately during the final mission (camera movement, set design, similar background activity, etc.), with the POV being that of your character. It's like you're walking behind John Connor in the opening of T2, getting ready to fight the machines.

[@DeltaKnight]

They did something like that again in the recent DLC for the game, only with the first movie. Kyle has a nightmare in the first movie where a female soldier he's with is killed by a HK, and then is trapped in the overturned car after a flying HK shoots it. Those events are recreated in the DLC.
