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 ๐
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 ๐ค
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 ๐

2023-09-07 13:18:37 +0000 UTCFor it being made in 1984, I think they did a fantastic job with the mechanical Terminator!
Verowak
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 ๐ 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 ๐

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 ๐คฃ
Verowak
2023-09-06 16:28:50 +0000 UTCHi Vero. Here we go.. The Terminator journey has started๐. This is also where the famous "I'll be Back" Sentence came from๐คฃ๐คฃ. Remember, this is over 39 years old already.. but even all this time, its still a amazing movie๐๐. โคโคโค Ray.
