      He doesn't wanna spoil things that the movie will tell her, which is appreciated. I had a friend who did what Jen does but worse. Whenever we'd watch movies together, he'd ask me nearly every five minutes "Who are they?" "Where are they going?" "Why did they do that"? It's like he was expecting me to be his personal narrator rather than just letting the movie tell him what he wants to know. Then he'd stop the movie multiple times so he could go outside for a smoke and take phone calls. It would take a whole night to watch a single movie because of how many times he'd disrupt it, and it got so frustrating that I had to stop watching movies with him.

      Instant gratification. She doesn't want the story to unfold. She wants to skip most of the movie to know the ending. Pretty much the reasons to watch a movie is to watch the plot(s) revealed and character(s) to grow.

The producers weren't convinced on the idea, so James had Lance dress up as the terminator and bust down the door to the producers office to show how intimidating a terminator could be. Instant yes.

    One of the best Sci-Fi movies ever. My favorite part is right before Arnold crashes into the police station, his head moves so he can look at the whole window. Since he is a machine, he is scanning it to see how much force is needed to quickly break through. Such a great little detail. This is also the first R-rated movie I ever saw.

      Arnold really tried with this film. From what I've heard/read, he decided that as a machine, his movements would be less intuitive and more by necessity, so when he's looking around, his eyes are the first to move, and he only moves his head once the range of motion of his eyes is exhausted and he needs to adjust more of his form in order to see his target. I'm explaining this poorly, but hopefully that makes sense.

    Fun fact: James Cameron's main inspiration for The Terminator was a fever dream he had where a skeletal machine rose out of fire holding knives. The studio originally wanted to end the film where he blows up in the truck but considering that dream inspired the film you absolutely need that shot to be complete

    The first Terminator really is very different from the later films. More sci-fi thriller/horror, less corny jokes or over-the-top action. Arnold as the merciless T-800, no jokes just pure menace, is amazing.

      I think it is a lot closer to science fiction than the rest of the films. We got back to this in The Sarah Connor Chronicles, though. Perhaps that's why this deeper series never became popular with the comics/action mass market.

      Unpopular opinion: Salvation is my favorite of the terminator movies because of T-1
      SPOILERS BELOW
      Salvation is my favorite because of how faithful it is to T-1. The world that Kyle describes in T-1 is the one that we get in salvation. Human internment camps and such. People didnt like it for one because they thought there were plot holes in the movie (why did they have internment camps when they just wanted to kill humans, why dont they just send one of the giant robots back in time to kill sarah or john.)
      We learn IN THE FIRST MOVIE two things. Skynet has internment camps and only living things can travel back in time. Salvation takes it one step further and EXPLAINS why they have interment camps with an entire subplot of the movie. Only living things can go back in time. So they make Marcus a prototype "living machine" to see how they can make living machines. Remember where the internment camps are located? At a factory. They turn humans into terminators or at least harvest them for it. They were trying to get Kyle and not kill him in that movie to turn him into a terminator and send him back in time.
      There are also so many callbacks to T-1. In the beginning of T-1 Kyle ties a string to a shotgun. Salvation shows us Marcus taught him that. John also has the picture that Sarah had taken of her in the end of T-1 and so many others.
      T-2 is the most popular and is actually watched more than T-1 but Salvation is soooo faithful to the original you just have to love it compared to all the other sequels after T-2
      So many people complained about things in Salvation that are explained in the first movie. I love T-2 but I wish more people saw T-1 because it really makes Salvation just so much better

Could be of course he died in the fire. 🤔

    The definitive 3rd best Terminator aside from the first 2 for me is actually the TV show Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles starring Lena Heady. The show expands on the Terminator universe so well and the show is pretty well written. It's not a long show so it's only 2 seasons. It got cancelled because of the writers strike back in 07-08 and as well of what was considered "low ratings" at the time. But a decent amount of Terminator fans do enjoy the show so you guys can watch it during your own time if you guys don't want to post reactions on this show.

      I just realized the staccato violin part of the TSCC intro theme is very similar to the synth in the intro of the T1 theme. And the show is kind of a blend of the two movies. They were able to change the future, but eventually technology will progress to Skynet levels, so they have to keep fighting. I think they did it right.

    I enjoyed your reaction! Before you watch Terminator 2, I recommend checking out the Trailer called "Terminator 2 Teaser Endoskeleton Factory". I have never seen anybody react to it yet, so it would be cool if you did, it just lasts 1 minute. I think this is a brilliant and unique trailer from back in the day, because it doesnt spoil the plot at all, like it is the often the case in modern movie trailers. This trailer doesnt even contain a single scene from the movie itself, yet it perfectly explains the setup for the 2nd movie and why there is a second Terminator.

    haha...... can't believe Jen had worked out about Reece really early on in the movie.... laughed so hard when she'd worked it out. :P
    So so glad you guys eventually saw this (pretty sure I commented a couple times recommending it). So glad Jen enjoyed it too.... she gave it such a high score, nice.
    T2 is even better than the first one.... everything gets upgraded. So so freakin cool. I still rate it as one of the BEST action movies around, right up there with first Die Hard movie.
    I know the other sequels get some hate, but I kinda like Genesis and Dark Fate. Third movie uses a lor of T2 tropes and plot points, so not sure if worth seeing...? Maybe.... :P
    Anyway, so pumped you guys are watching these movies now. Jen can finally understand what we're talking about! yaaay :)

    Electrical engineer here.

I think the lightning is primarily a visual effect (or perhaps, as another commenter wrote, not normal electricity but some kind of special "time sphere energy").

Nor am I 100% sure why...other than the extended version scenes feel laggy and like they bog the movie down whereas the theatrical is tight as a drum. I like the alternate cuts/segues into other scenes better in the theatrical. I've turned around on Aliens in almost the exact same way. I'd get more into the nature of why certain of those extended scenes don't work the same for me anymore but Jen could read this and I'd hate to spoil any of T2 for her. I'm not knocking the extended. I just find the Aliens and T2 theatrical cuts move and feel better to me now. But I still prefer the longer versions of The Abyss and the Lord of the Rings movies. Go figure lol..

    I think there was a prime timeline where there was no terminator in 1984 and she got pregnant with a guy from 1984 and their son grew up to lead the resistance. But when the terminator and Reese came back, they altered things creating an alternate 1984 with Reese as the father of a different version of John. This created a time loop where the new John sent his own father back to protect his mum.

      Nah, it a "normal time paradox" in my opinion. In this franchise timetravel works different to the MCU. It works like Back to the Future. Means there is only one timeline. So John was allways this John. He knew Reese was his father from day one. Hence why he gave him the picture, cause he knew that this picture will make him fall in love with his mother. He just could never tell him, so that the story can happen exactly how his mother told him...

Everything Marty did in the past changed the future of the one timeline. Same as here in Terminator.
      Marvel explained timetravel differently. Every change to the past creates a NEW timeline, means there are infinate variations of every character. Hence why changing the past wouldnt change the future they are in after Infinity war.
      In the T2 or BttF theory of timetravel, killing Thanos in the past (like Rody sugested) would mean the snap never happened. Like killing Sarah in the past would prevent John from becoming the resistant leader, or Martys parents never kissing would prevent him from being born.

Salvation actually shows us the war from the future and it's a great post-apocalypse story. Genesys tried to "reboot" things and the end results might not be great but it has a lot of great callbacks to earlier films. Dark Fate I actually find refreshing, it steps away from the main story we're used to and the Terminator is the most menacing one since T2

    26:00 - According to the novelization, written by Wisher, the small pump that supplied blood to the terminator's skin, got destroyed in one of the shootouts, so by this point, its skin was rotting.
    30:24 - "How does that cover their tracks?" - Noise. With all the machines making noise, the terminator can't locate them by sound.
    31:07 - A plot point that was scrapped was that after killing each Sarah Connor, the terminator would cut open their legs looking for a surgical pin to confirm their identity. The irony being that she gets the surgical pin as result of the injury she sustains when the terminator blows up.
    There's a fan edit that includes several deleted scenes, however while I normally like extended editions, I don't think they make the movie better. It was interesting to watch though. If you want to see it, search for the version by ADM (A Digital Man).
