Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. Naturally, this has led to some renewed discussion of both that film, its sequels, and its predecessor, The Terminator (1984), which famously starred Arnold Schwarzennegger as a villainous killer robot from the future.
Having rewatched both movies recently, I’ve decided to post some thoughts, primarily in regard to how the films both know when to reveal and when to hold back narrative information in order to maximize its impact on the viewer.
Excellent write up, worth it if you hold the first 2 Terminator films in high regard.
Terminator 1 for 80s aesthetics, Terminator 2 for 90s action fun.
Still better then Avatar.
