I saw a reaction vid to this on That Star Wars Girl's channel. And she thought the evil terminator looked to pathetic to be threatening. That she wanted to give him a hug more then be afraid of him. But I reckon that makes him a superior infiltrating machine.
and although maybe she plays for the other team, Kristianna Loken was not a bad looking machine
I suspect she was trying too hard to emulate Robert Patrick. When instead, like Robert Patrick, she should have created her own version of the Terminator. Robert knew he wasn't Arnie so he didn't try to be Arnie. And what's the point in hiring a good looking woman and have her act like an emotionless man? Why not use seduction as part of her modus operandi?
Come to think of it, why not subvert the whole dynamic? Instead of having the killer terminator chase the prey with the good terminator defending, change it the other way around. Killer terminator convinces the prey that he/she is the good terminator sent to protect it and takes it away. Meanwhile the good terminator tries to reach and save the prey but the evil terminator fends off its attacks, even has the prey fight off the good terminator, and only in the final act do we learn which terminator is which? Or further subversion as we may never truly know which terminator was good or bad? Maybe both are alternate reality terminators from different versions of Skynet? Each trying to come to fruition at the other's expense?
That movie looks like hot canned dog poop. I was excited years ago when I heard James Cameron was doing a new terminator with Linda Hamilton, I thought “ finally, something to get the taste of the new travesties outta my mouth “. But they just keep getting worse and worse. Thus makes T3 look even better.
have you ever considered screenplays??
I like your plot twist , you should have submitted something to GOT ,,they could have definitely used some help

I like the idea, but say in T2, it would have taken 0.01 second to kill John Conner, and then the job is done. There isn't really a reason to lure him away. Now if it's to infiltrate a bunker or something, I can see it. Watch "Screamers", which went exactly that direction.
Robert Patrick was really solid as a terminator though. When he started on X-Files, it took me a while before I could separate the two characters.
Fool me once... Gonna have to wait and see. Everything since T2 was total horseshit. T2 was a masterpiece that looks fresh even today. This needs to be at least as good as T2 for their claims to hold up, likelihood of which is very slim indeed.
The Sarah Connor chronicles is easily in the top 3.
My ranking.
1.T2
2.T1
3.TSCC
(These three are in a fairly close group, and favorites can change depending on mood and what I feel like watching, horror, action, or serial)

4.T3 (not as unbearable as I recall, an entertaining movie with a good story line, by today’s standards an overall excellent flick)

5.T4 Salvation (Good premise horrible execution, direction, and writing)
6.T5 Genysis (hot schit on a shingle)
7. *reserved for T6 Dark Fate* (probably gonna make me wish I was watching Salvation)
Oh FFS c'mon, @ 1:14 "Who are you".... have these people never seen a terminator movie????
Sheesh..
At any rate, no Arnie, no terminator.
Word.
In 2003, T3 was one of....if not the...most expensive movie ever made at it's release. How did it wind up looking so cheap? Seriously, it looked like a SyFy original movie.
