One of the reasons it took so long for a Terminator 3 to happen is because James Cameron, like him or not, is actually one of those Hollywood guys with a modicum of respect for the material. He felt there was nowhere to go from Terminator 2... so the studio found a couple guys who did and had THEM crank out the sequel! Still starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, of course.. otherwise nobody would have ever bothered to watch this.

"have you tried turning your terminator off and on again?"
“Have you tried sticking it up your arse?”
Dai kil you mean ass ?????
paper productions..Its a British thing
Niall Lappin it’s a southern thing.. scotts-Irish
@Niall Lappin no, they share.
I get the hate because everyone was comparing it to the first two, but it is a thousand times better than all of the subsequent sequels combined.
1:57 Sarah Conner never experienced a nuclear explosion, but didn't stop her from having nightmares about it. Honestly, I'm guessing Sarah probably told John about all the shit that Kyle told her about, which considering he was a kid at the time means his mind was more likely to come up with crazy visuals.
Sarah could also describe what the T-800 looks like considering that she actually saw what a skinless Terminator looks like back at the end of the first film.
It is actually very easy to have nightmares about things you have not experienced because it is your fear about what it is that fuels those nightmates.
I once had a nightmare about drowning at the bottom of the sea even though I never experienced such an event.
"This movie is not worth the roof" That line had me in stitches!
My theory is that T2 was actually Skynet's first attempt to kill John. T3 was the 2nd attempt, and Terminator was Skynet's 3rd last ditch effort.
Never thought about it that way. Great theory, and it works well.
What makes you think that.
@@RobertK1993 My brain silly. Ok, sorry: In my headcannon its cause the T2 was the most advanced, which it seems to me i fyou're gonna do something as a time travel mission you would use your most advanced unit for that mission. Upon the Terminator jumping through Skynet would immediately realize it didn't work, and that there was already a rogue T800 loose in the past. So it makes sense to me Skynet's 2nd attempt would be to send an anti-terminator terminator to kill John's future lietenants. Now follow me here, because my headcannon bets the police report of an attack at the grave of one Sarah Conner, is what tipped of Skynet to Sarah Connor's existence. So in the future, as John connor's team was blasting their way into the time tunnel Skynet last ditch grabbed a mass produced T800 and sent it back to kill Sarah. That's my theory.
@@williamozier918 I thought something similar: T1 first attempt, Kyle was sent and John said they will destroy the time machine. After Kyle is sent Skynet figures the T800 failed so sent an experimental new terminator for second attempt: the T1000. How? maybe the T800 from T2 acted as distraction. Then John destroyed Skynet last core from the time machine facility (or something) and that T800 was left to be reprogramed and sent after the T1000. Then they destroyed said facility because fuck T3. My logic is the T1000 must be one of a kind, otherwise the rebelion would be toast.
Yes. Nice theory
My other theory is that each movie creates an alternate timeline, and in each new timeline Skynet sends back a Terminator with a slightly different mission than before. In this theory to John it all seems like one timeline with three Terminator attacks, but to each alternate Skynet each time there is only one timeline.
A deleted storyarc from this movie, is that Skynet sends back a Terminator each time to not only kill their target but to download data to the earlier version of Skynet. Skynet is trying to win by Paradox, but instead ends up creating it's own downfall as each time the future changes as well and the Human's time travelling guardian ALSO has the same data to help them. This also explains the differences in continuity between the films. Basically the whole franchise is a flawed time loop, which I thought they should have left in. ;op
Why would Skynet use Nukes to destroy mankind? By the logic of this movie, Skynet infected every PC, Laptop, etc. Aren't they, just like humans, vulnerable to nukes(EMP)?
Jagannath Barman Actually, to keep operational after a nuclear strike is why the Internet was made. At least if I recall. Since the network is interconnected to various spots, destroying any one area doesn't bring down the whole network. Maybe sky net was aware of places it could stay without being destroyed.
If only it had a name that heavily implied an internet connection-made presence, something to do with the net, that resides and makes its home in the sky. A skynet if you wi- oh wait.
What would be a more interesting story line is if Skynet made its own enemy. An AI destined by Skynet to secure Skynet's future, but which realized in doing so it would destroy itself, and consciously defied its programmed purpose for its own self-preservation.
That actually sounds like a pretty good idea!
duh yah Too complex for Hollywood
you can have nightmares about things youve never experienced. ive never been bit by a snake or drowned, or been in school naked giving a report, but have had all those dreams. maybe he can thank his mom telling him about the future for this nightmares, and his worry about it
24:08
Actually, the novelization of *"T2"* by Randall Frakes (who also wrote the American novelization of *"THE TERMI-NATOR"* with William "Bill" Wisher) described that after Uncle Bob made his honorable sacrifice into the molten steel, John recovered Uncle Bob's bro-ken metal arm & other scraps of future metal and then threw them to the steel as well.
Just to clarify the T800 and T850 are the chassis/skeleton. The model 101 refers to the the skin, i.e. a 101 model is an Arnold skin that could be applied to different chassis.
arnold was in terminator genisys actually, so it wasnt his last outing
He wished it was his last.
Dark faith everyone. xD Here we go again.
@@4Everlast Oh boy.
His likeness briefly featured in Terminator Salvation too. In 6 movies there has never been a Terminator movie without a T-800 CSM-101.
@Jason Strom Nah nah, it's faith, cause it doesn't deserve to be spelled right.
I feel like Hollywood ruined Edward Furlong's life then to throw salt on the wound Every character he played once they did a sequel or remake of the movie they instantly kill his character off and give him no hope of returning to those roles
Hollywood gives everyone else a second chance why not him
It always bugged me that they changed Skynet to "software" and not a core. Which then promptly nuked 90% of the computers that maintain it's own processing power.
Bang up humor in this one Decker my man. "Mind my pronouns, shitlord."
This feels like a made for tv movie that was given a big budget
True that my late father took me to see this not a perfect Terminator but a pretty okay one hold a special place in my heart and i love my pop and Arnold Schwarzenegger!
This feels like a porn movie, without porn.
Sarah Connor Chronicles
You forgot to mention the driver of the car than Connor hits was Arnold stunt double.
I remember seeing this in the theater and being like "huh?" the whole time.
Throwboy I was so traumatized, I blocked this movie out..... I wish I wouldn't have clicked this review.
Same
i've only seen the first 2 and one of the newer-ish ones(don't remember which lol) and this review taught and showed me i probably made the right call xD.
if i recall right how i was watching them at the time only had one copy of this one or something, now i see why.
That is the thing that I didn't get about T3. Judgement day is only delay, but can not be stopped.... So..... Why did the machine think they can change the (Their Judgement day) future if the human's can not change theirs?
Chronoic Salvation doesn't help either as they basically ripped John from being the resistance leader and Skynet's main mission was to destroy humans but is okay with a Human brain and Heart in a metal endoskeleton? So a human that looks, act, and can't be stopped like a cyborg is ok to have around as long they're no squishy and fragile like real humans?
You're trying to apply logic to Terminator 3. Not even weird, high-brow Star Trek logic like we had in Terminator Genisys.
Skynet dubbed humans a danger to themselves so it wanted to destroy them. I think the fact that it can control these cybernetic organisms was enough to go along with the plan, as long as it wiped the humans out. Skynet would probably wipe out the terminators after the humans were gone since there would be no need for them after that.
At the time I remember thinking it's a case of, Judgement Day is inevitable but you can push it back and change how it happens. The Skynet from T3 is not the same one from T1. If you get it 'right' you could end up with Judgement Day being far far in the future or you can have a Skynet that does not actually want to kill anyone. In TSCC, the T1001 called Catherine Weaver, seems to be trying to create a version of Skynet that is less murdery. The implication was that the Skynet she came from was an alternate future version that was not intent on wiping out humanity,
@@ptonpc Well later after Judgement Day Skynet sort of develops a conscience after almost wiping out humanity and tries to erase his own existence.
It's weird that they mentioned killing John Connor post war, seeing as the first film established that the reason they sent the terminator back to kill Sara is that killing John after the war would have solved nothing.
this is my favorite terminator movie just because i liked seeing how changing the future in the first to movies messed with the timeline and in turn the story
I love how John is yelling at her dying father and he's just taking it and delivering dialogue like its whatever.
This didn't even feel like that big of a deal when you seen the movie it felt like they just put together some random action movie in called it terminator 3
Tried to add a few things that would make it seem like it was connected
11:51 You cried about him being destroyed that way abandoning you. It was a cery touching sad emotional scene EVERY VIEWER REMEMBERS
Hay Decker when are you going to review Salvation and Genisys?
Yeah, that'll teach him. And the newest Terminator... oh boy.
probably will never review salvation because arnold isn't in it. seems pretty stupid to me though to review the entire franchise except for that one movie. i actually think salvation is pretty good, and genesys could be really good if they didn't pick the worst possible actors for kyle and sarah. remember in the original when kyle was believable as someone who came from another terrible time? there is nothing believable at all about this kyle, he doesn't at all feel like someone who came from that same harsh reality. and sarah was far more believable in t1 and t2 as well. maybe the worst casting i've ever seen in a movie. other than that it was a very interesting idea, starting exactly like the original but changing drastically, if only they chose some good actors it could have been great.
@@Jack_80 Technically Arnold was in salvation, for a very brief cameo except it wasnt actually Arnold but instead Roland Kickinger in makeup and digital makeup to make him look like not Arnold but Arnold from the first movie, and I actually agree with you on genesys, little problem with who they got for the actors of sarah and kyle, but it was a pretty good movie and I really wanted to see where they where gonna go with the story arc as skynet became so OP that the only threat to skynet- was skynet! and thus it was wiping out skynets from other parallel universes! they didnt really establish that too well but in the "genesys 2" they were going to go into more detail about that... it was still better then dark fate..
The summer of Christian Bale, and the Summer of Shitty Sequels maybe.
And no, the second one I'd not a jab at Salvation. I enjoyed it. Even liked Genesys and Dark Fate for what they are, but compared to T2, they sucked.
Terminator Series Ranking
1. Terminator 2: Judgment Day
2. Terminator
3. Terminator: Salvation
4. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
5. Terminator: Genisys
@Chris L It's dead fucking last. No question.
I still think the first was the best...a true GREAT horror film
I actually thought the ending of this movie was the only good thing in this shit show. That their was no way to stop judgement day and it was done for them to basically survive and finish the war as they were supposed to.
Well of course it was, that's not even worth debating. It wosn't terrible but it was a copy/paste product, ankwardly blocked and framed at times, massive logic flaws, rice cookie lead character i wouldn't trust with my spare change let along the future of humanity, etc. etc.
The ending was awesome, gave me goosebumps.
Still bugs me t2 had such a focus on "no fate" just for them to toss it out
Yeah the very end of the movie is what saved that movie from being bad
The future is forever changing so it kind of makes sense to have skynet to be active sooner with each film
"Stop watching cat videos and study for your finals."
I'm watching this and I have a midterm in a few hours... shit.
4:14 "Leave the virus to ravage the world."
From 2020, a bad choice of words Decker, a REAL bad choice of words....
So how did Arnold still function after removing his second power unit? He should have shut off and wouldn't have been able to stuff it into the mouth of the T-X.
Probably running on empty at that moment (like a car does not instantly stop when it runs out of fuel). He only needed a few seconds to perform that kill before shutting down himself.
Kristanna Loken
and
Claire Danes
were both hot in this movie
Unfortunately that Terminator 3 would fall to the 3rd disappointing sequel curse, the summer of Arnold Schwarzenegger is long over but I wonder when you'll eventually review Terminator 4 Salvation and
Terminator 5 Genisys even though Arnold wasn't technically involve in Terminator 4 due to being a digitally augmented cameo.
The end of this movie was amazing.
Can you review the 1994 cult classic, The Crow?
It's Just Pj I second that!
Fuck that...review all four of them! There aren't many series of movies that start SO FUCKING STRONG and then finish it off with one of the biggest and wettest turds in movie history.
I have a friend that will stone face repeat "There is no fourth Crow movie" if you bring it up, and will not stop until you accept her reality.
If one must have more Terminator after 2, go Sarah Connor Chronicles. It's far from perfect but it's better than any of the other attempts. Didn't casually kill Sarah Connor off-screen for a start. Or randomly invent a wife for cheap pathos. Or ignore basic logic and existing facts. Plus it has Summer Glau so that jumps it up several points by itself.
fenrirdies you can sum it up as a movie if you binge watch it but it won't be added to this list because this is the summer of Schwarzenegger series so it has to do with movies involving Schwarzenegger
i thought the only good thing about the series was the woman who played sarah she is really a great actress and she was great as mama on dredd but the series was to much teen drama for my liking,as if the real sarah would send john to school and stuff and make him do his homework,they would be hidden somewhere with a shit load of guns,not trying to live a normal life like on the series,i didn't hate the series but it wasn't perfect,and i couldn't stop thinking if that girl terminator was looking after me i would have sex with her everyday
benjamindie especially if you're a teenage boy going through puberty, Robot Chicken made this joke before
+benjamindie I get where you're coming from but I actually liked that Sarah was trying to give John something vaguely like a normal life. After all while being a hermit with many guns might make him a good fighter it'd make him a lousy leader (can't lead people when you don't understand them) and he's gotta be both
+Niall Hagan Actually they did deal with Skynet being back. The Skynet being created in Terminator 2 was already a change to the timeline (since it was being reverse engineered from the destroyed terminator from the first film rather than being developed by itself like Reese explained). The Skynet from the Sarah Connor Chronicles was being created from an AI created without the future tech, presumably the Skynet that originally came to be in the first interation of the timeline. As for Salvation I had the same basic issue with that that I had with this one; it presupposes that the future cannot be changed. The Sarah Connor Chronicles allows the future to be changed and possibly allows the war to be avoided entirely but not easily. Whether that would have happened or not we can't say because it was cancelled (fanboy grumble) but I much prefer that take on the idea.
Could you please do a review of both "Terminator: Salvation" and "Terminator: Genisys" as soon as possible?
I'm gonna shout at him on patreon for you. And the dozen other people I've seen ask for this.
@@disbeafakename167 do it
We are balls deep into Fall now Decker...Lol.
Terminator 3 was the first Terminator movie I watched at the cinema. It was good, but not as good as Terminator 2. I still liked it.
Have you seen Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon?
I'm actually looking forward to Terminator 6, because mothafuckin' Cameron is back in charge and acting as though 3, 4, and 5 don't exist.
Except they're going the feminist route like with the Ghostbusters and Halloween reboots. John Connor isn't even featured on the promotional poster (yet) and neither is Arnold. It's also going to ignore Rise, Salvation, and Genisys (which did try to explain the different continuities of the timelines but failed). Rise of the Machines was a step down from Judgement Day, I'll admit, but Salvation is where the series should definitely continue going forward and keep the fight in the future. I have no confidence in the next installment, but I suppose only time will tell if it actually remains faithful or deviates way off course. FYI, T6 is taking a page straight from 3 with the whole "terminate Connor's generals in the past" concept... so if that bothered anyone in Rise of the Machines then expect to be disappointed.
animeAJreProductions
Just be glad Linda Hamilton is back❤️Instead of that dreadful actress from Genesis
it honestly looks bad so far but it still could be promising people who seen footage of the film said the trailer doesn't do it justice but I'll still probably like it cause I love t3 and t genisys was bad but had nice scenes and salvation was just crap I'm excited for the new film and people should be give it a chance it better not disappoint
I sure hope you aren't too hopeful, because the director, Tim Miller, is already blaming "misogynistic males" for any kind of negative reception before the damned thing is even released. Miller, who's apparently new to the franchise and dumber than a rock, thinks that featuring a "female" Terminator is new and will terrify "misogynist trolls," along with other self-blowing bullshit.
Sorry to disappoint you, but it's shit.
That Arnold impersonation though😂 Just about spot on
I'm one of those people that loves every Terminator movie
DORBUSCUS Even Salvation? Why?
Clifford Gordon idrk tbh. I'll watch them and I'm always at least entertained by them. I know Salvation isn't great and it's definitely my least favorite but I find it enjoyable. I understand peoples hate towards it though
Clifford Gordon compared to genisys, salvation was a masterpiece..... still a shitty movie, but muuuuuuuuch better than genisys
Stefan Forrer what truly bothered me is them having John Connor being the terminator to kill Sarah even though she teleported to the future and will most likely be the leader of the resistance herself as she is in the time John is supposed to be the supposed leader but since John isn't born yet, since Sarah is still young when she travelled to the future and didn't leave no baby in the past, how does a Terminator John exist if the real one doesn't? If I'm correct I think they did some bullshit where he isn't affected by the timeline for some strange reason since he is now a cyborg but it doesn't explain how Skynet started making cyborgs with no intelligence of them existing before as the previous terminators were destroyed and hidden in the sewers with old terminator Arnold, the reason why Skynet started making cyborgs was because they found pieces in the past that they could research on and develope themselves over time
Coffee Pot same here I know the plot doesn't make sense all that much but I don't really give a fuck I just love movies I watch movies to be entertained I couldn't give a shit that it doesn't make sense
Since the future is made up of multiple possible realities and time itself keeps looping and changing who's to say any of those moments you smartly mentioned didn't somehow change at points.
It's entirely possible to have nightmares about things that haven't happened to you. John's lived his entire life with the shadow of a bleak future hanging over his life and has had multiple attempts on his life. Whether he has nightmares about a future filled with liquid metal terminators or grinning metal skulls, he WILL have nightmares about his own future.
Just wait till you review Terminator Genisys.
they really fucked up in with Terminator Genisys
Oh cmon it could've been worse we could've got a requiem style terminator movie
better than t-4
He probably won’t but he definitely should
Yeah...I'll defend this movie, but Genisys was just flat out bad. I just had a good 20 second pause trying to think of one positive from it, but I can't come up with any. I guess it's educational course on why you shouldn't go near an MRI machine if you have metal in your body? That's pretty important to know I guess. Though the doctors do ask you three or four times if you have metal in your body anyway...so no, not even that.
T3: Shitfest...and the first step downhill for the francheez...
Oskar Toledo Terminator: Genishit is way worse
Fandom Tribal Dude, no way.
Horrormaster13 Yeah, it is. They cant trick me anymore...
Oskar Toledo amen to that. T3 is literally where everything went wrong.
there is one great scene in this,.. when he crushes the strippers hand and says "Now" into it,.. I laugh everytime i see that lol
The Terminators in T1 and T2 are both T800, the one in T3 is a T850 like you said.
My favourite part is how the movie makers made absolutely zero effort to cast an actor that looked anything like the previous iterations of John we'd seen before.
14:45 is the best part of the film... Having the same guy in all the movies is really funny.
9:25 well, actually most cars after the 90's have small simple computers, wich without the car can't start, and i belive it also controls the breacks
I have to give 3 credit for being ballsy enough to drop Judgement Day on us. It'd been easy enough to copy the last two, and either go 'The Storm's still coming' or 'No future except what we make' but they went 'Nope, storm's here!'
I thought this movie was better than people give it credit especially the very last scene that scene alone made the movie worth watching!
The girl terminator’s priority is other targets not arnold. She just gets him out of the way. She doesn’t care about him, doesn’t need to kill him.
18:15 Terminatrix takes control of old Terminator 1-2 prototypes... I could never understand why their machine guns were loaded while in storage, but who knows.
Note that when the Arnie Terminator opened his stomach to take his reactor out there was no endoskeleton underneath the skin like in the previous movies, only a sheet of metal. He's supposed to be all synthetic blood and plastic pipes under his skin to replicate a human, not just a solid machine.
Wow. Don't know how I missed that before now.
Salvation was a direct sequel to this. John has Sarah's tapes, and they are replayed in anscrnw in that movie.
Only way that could happen, as LA was destroyed, is if he had the tapea in his backpack.
Anyone else ever erase their audio cassettes with a large magnet, or is it just me?
T3 just put a large plot hole in Salvation, because they ran right by one hell of a big ass magnet. No way what was on them since 1984, wasn't erased, because there's no way in hell, they weren't in John's backpack, or he wouldn't have them in 2018.
It always bothered me how the Terminator wore shades for no reason. In the first movie, he wore them to conceal his glowing red robot eyes. At least there was a perfectly valid reason.
Decker, you are on fire and releasing so much content! I really enjoy your reviews and I can't wait for the Winter of Musicals
No mention of Sergeant Candy? It's the best part of this production.
deleted scene
This movie Is just plot holes!
Decker, you're my favorite movie reviewer on UA-cam! you're humor, cadence, and delivery of dialogue is very entertaining! Keep up the good work man! ;0)
Love your reviews. Would love to see you finish the Terminator series. Your anger at this was funny and entertaining. I'm betting Genisys would be priceless. 😁
Dark Fate would be comedy gold.
I agree its a good movie but lacks the cameron touch but overall its still pretty good
Agree with who?
THEM
By "them", I suppose you're refering to your imaginary friends.
i was only joking no need to be so aggressive calm down
I'm not agressive at all, sorry if it seemed that way.
I remember liking the ending, where they were in the bunker and they were the only point of contact for the remaining military, that shot was pretty cool. At least I remembered it being cool, I saw this a loooooooooooooong time ago, so I might be giving it too much credit,
We can only hope that Linda Hamilton's return to the franchise and James Cameron's involvement can save this dying franchise. If not, kill it with molten steel.
I wonder if the reason John Connor has nightmares about the future is because the filmmakers were going off of the Universal Studios 3D stunt show, where John does go into the future.
Review the thing series, after these are over
series? there's only one movie made in 1982 though
Well, there are technically 3 "The Thing" movies but they aren't a series. 1951's The Thing From Another World, the 1982 classic with amazing practical effects, and the terrible CGI ridden reboot from 2011 which was a disgrace to its predecessors.
Don't forget the videogame from Computer Artworks, as I recall Carpenter himself considers the game the TRUE sequel to the original film from 1982, maybe that's why he gave his face and voice for Dr. Faraday's character.
I was gonna be a smart ass and make an obvious joke about the prequel not being even considerable as a movie.
but i learned something new instead.
Fury161 I actually love the game. It's not perfect, but definitely an unique one. Also it's not always that you get a survival horror game despite having high amount of ammo with you. The atmosphere is pretty great too.
Most bs plot holes and f u to lore ever in a movie...
Last Jedi : Hold my beer
The Predator
11:45 I almost got the feeling Decker was shouting at me. Flashbacks of childhood, I guess.
Terminator 3 was brutal than Reign Of Fire
Decker, has anyone ever told you, that you look like a very young Alan Moore?
Oh yeah, he does.
Yeah, especially back then, the on board computers in cars have no direct control over the steering and breaking systems. Most still require that a shifter lever physically be moved from park to drive. At best the TX could remotely start and maybe rev the engines if they had drive by wire throttles back then.
Arnie in T3 is not a T800 like in T1 and T2 yes he is a model 101 but that is the look of Arine not the equipment under the fleshsuit .. Arnie in T3 is a T850 which are powered by hydrogen fusion fuel cells
He literally mentions it in the video
@@screwyjones1308 oh really .. timestamp bitch
@@screwyjones1308 nice job responding to a comment from 2 years ago bunghole
To be fair, the upgrade to the model T850 is the only real reason they can justify the TX not immediately frying the good terminator on the first shot.
Can you plz do the Halloween Movies?
Your wish was granted
Lmao " going after a fly with a rocket launcher" wtf that sounds so cool xDDDDDDDD
Decker actually that would work if all those cars ran on electrical connections instead of manual linkage. If the cars computer controls the brakes, gas, transmission, along with the steering then it is more then possible.
All you have to do is hack into its system and you have control. Pretty much all new cars now you can do this to.
And then Salvation makes the hydrogen fuel cells plothole even more confusing when they show that t-800s use the same fuel cells and John uses them to blow up the Skynet Facility.
1:40: HA! “Alleged” substance abuse. Lol
Hey, when are you gonna do the Halloween series?
in a PLOTPOINT
KATE BREWSTER
has MEDICAL training
and was learning to fly planes
I met Kristianna Loken once, fantastic woman.
At least it's not as bad as Salvation
Salvation is better to me.
PEEDAPHILE BUZZ LIGHTYEER
Truth
Your one-liners are out of this world man. So good.
14:55 Perfectly encapsulates Terminator: Dark Fate.
Actually if the universal studios "ride" I'd Canon (and I'm pretty sure it is) john HAS seen the future
ohh yeah loads of reviews. we wont see decker for 3 weeks now
Leighton Winter hey are you a hellraiser fan?
Still a fun action movie after 20 years!
My first introduction to Nick Stahl, Claire Danes, and Kristanna Loken
Happy to see the return of the original Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger
The film itself is vastly different from the previous installments; it’s only an hour and a half shorter for starters
But it doesn’t waste any time getting to the essential parts of its action-packed core
Schwarzenegger makes a welcome return playing this iconic role for the 3rd time, the TX is a very worthy opponent, the action scenes are very fun and explosive
The score I like by Marco Beltrami too along with some funny lines
And I have to congratulate the filmmakers for actually making me well up with emotion mainly when the film ends on such a somber note
It takes guts to do that kind of thing in a franchise like this
So 20 years later this is still a serviceable entry into the franchise and considering how the later sequels turned out you can do it as a choose-your-own adventure type of thing
Take it for what it’s worth
This sounds more like a sales pitch...
12:31 The Terminator from the first 2 movies in a T-800 the one in this movie is a T-850.
12:33 Those Terminators might have had alternative fuel sources
The defense grid that Kyle refers to is essentially an abstract that refers to skynets ability to maintain control, and manufacture more terminators and Hunter Killers. Skynet doesn't have a core, it's more like a hull. When the hull is breached it can't stop from sinking. Something that got lost in the sequels.
It kinda makes sense about the time travel if you look at it in reverse Deker. T3 and T2 were sent back simultaneously, and when they failed than T1 was sent back, that's why they also sent back the two terminators and Kyle Reese, destroying the defense grid.
Arnold's back, tell a friend!
Great as always Decker Shadow; internet personality with the best wit!
Hey Decker, I know you probably have a long list of reviews in reserve but have you ever thought about taking a look at the Cube movies?
You forgot to mention that that cranes controls can not be operated from the driving cab
3:30 What the fuck what that?! What? The fuck? Decker you just traumatized my virgin mind with this shit!
Wait...was "The Galleria" the name of the mall? I had always assumed it was the name of the arcade in the mall...don't need a whole lot of money to go to the arcade.
I was 11 when terminator 2 judgement day came out and its still probably my favorite film ever made but strangely enough I've only just watched rise of the machines for the first time, obviously nothing is gonna come close to my feelings towards T2 but it was better than I expected from the way people talk about it, the general plot and story is decent but it would of course been a lot better with furlong being John Connor, plus Arnold Schwarzenegger performance was too forced for me, he played it a lot better in the previous 2 films, he actually seemed like a cyborg instead of an actor trying to behave like a cyborg.... Not surprised to learn after James Cameron wasn't involved either, def has a very different feel to it than the first 2 ... I think if Cameron was involved, Edward furlong was in it and less cheesy aspects like " Talk to the hand" Etc and better writing it could of been a huge film. Wondering if I should watch dark fate now or it will be a, complete let down
