The Terminator (1984) | FULL LENGTH REACTION
Added 2023-09-06 15:50:12 +0000 UTCIt's Wednesday my dudes!!
Come with me if you want to live π
Please no spoilers for T2 or any other Terminator movie, and NO "oh if you liked X, wait until T2" type of thing, that is still a spoiler. No expectation spoilers either.
Well, well well... the Terminator either meant he terminates people, or he terminates computer program via "end task" when it stops working. It would have made for a very different movie if that was the case.
Honestly, a really interesting story and the actors all did a great job with their characters! The way that music was done for movies in the 80s is quite different from what I'm used to, so that stood out a lot. I inwardly laughed a few times because it sounded so cheesy.
I'm really looking forward to T2 since I have no idea what it's about π€
Reminder that you need your own copy of the movie to watchalong, and that there is an extension that allows you to do Picture-in-Picture in case you are interested: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/picture-in-picture-extens/hkgfoiooedgoejojocmhlaklaeopbecg?hl=en
Which is your favorite Terminator movie?

There was a re-make, I never saw it, but it didn't get very good reviews, and seems mostly forgotten. The original is classic, I can't wait for you to watch it, it is an interesting movie, part sci Fi, part social commentary (but in a fun way) all leading up to epic awesomeness

2023-09-24 17:56:27 +0000 UTCI think I'll end up watching all of them, but may not put them all on YT immediately, so it'll be full length on Patreon lol I haven't seen Robocop, it's one that I want to see (the original, since it seems there's a reboot/remake)

2023-09-24 16:56:48 +0000 UTCYou asked about the others, it's hard to answer without spoiling anything, but in general 1-4 are one continuity while 5 & 6 were attempts at reboots. Two is widely considered to be an incredible movie, which hurts 3, as the comparisons will always be made. T3 isn't a bad movie tho, and it makes a nice trilogy in my opinion. You could also just stop at 2, as that's the all James Cameron did & plenty of ppl only consider those two "canon". Have you seen Robocop?

2023-09-24 16:22:33 +0000 UTCI agree too, while the extended cut has some cool extras, the theatrical version is best for first time viewing. The extended cut tho can be better for re-watches
Mike
2023-09-24 16:15:35 +0000 UTCI agree. I feel like this is a case where the the theatrical version really is the best version. The extended versions have some interesting parts, but they also drag the pacing. (And I really don't care for the tone of the alternate coda.)

2023-09-08 23:51:30 +0000 UTCMovies that get too much hype usually make me worried.

2023-09-07 13:19:13 +0000 UTCNope π

2023-09-07 13:18:37 +0000 UTCFor it being made in 1984, I think they did a fantastic job with the mechanical Terminator!

2023-09-07 13:18:24 +0000 UTCIt's interesting because the opposite happened with Jurassic Park. I had a LOT of comments saying the third one is weak and not good, but I just recorded it yesterday and I have no idea why people thought it was weak π I will say I've always heard that T2 is like one of the best sci-fi movies. There are a few movies from the pre-90s that are always praised :D

2023-09-07 04:31:20 +0000 UTCI'd forgotten how much work went into the Terminator mechanical version. It looks like they used puppetry and animatronics for some scenes and stop-motion for others.

2023-09-07 02:05:39 +0000 UTCI think I'll not comment on which Terminator film I like the best, as it's sort of a spoiler in itself and sets up expectations that a first time viewer shouldn't have.

2023-09-07 02:02:27 +0000 UTCThe theatrical version is probably the one most widely available for streaming, if that's how folks will be watching along for "T-2".

2023-09-06 18:33:52 +0000 UTCYaaaas! An absolute classic movie which I've been looking forward to you experiencing π

2023-09-06 16:42:13 +0000 UTCPlease do the Theatrical version of T2. There's several versions out there that have been released since, including a different ending and it can be confusing. The theatrical version I feel is the gold standard and is the version most people know and have seen.

2023-09-06 16:36:51 +0000 UTCI finally got to hear "I'll be back", and never in a million years would I have correctly guessed what kind of scene he says it in π€£

2023-09-06 16:28:50 +0000 UTCHi Vero. Here we go.. The Terminator journey has startedπ. This is also where the famous "I'll be Back" Sentence came fromπ€£π€£. Remember, this is over 39 years old already.. but even all this time, its still a amazing movieππ. β€β€β€ Ray.
