    For anybody not old enough to have seen that movie, go see Terminator, and then Terminator 2, and then stop.

    You are missing out.

      Honestly, you can skip the first one. Special effects just weren’t ready for what Cameron was trying to put down.

        Yeah, I’ll have to disagree here.

        Yes, the effects are bad to the point they are funny to watch now. But it doesn’t detract much from the movie.

      I also recommend the Netflix anime, Terminator Zero. It’s made by Production IG, the people behind Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and SkyDance, and does a great job of being its own thing while being respectful of the first two movies.

        I second this recommendation, solid series and it does do a great job of being faithful to the setting instead of just using it as a veneer for some other type of story.

      The TV series from the mid-2000s was actually pretty decent, but it was canceled like 2 seasons in and never finished its story.

      But yeah, T2 isn’t gonna be topped. I think it is a strong contender for best action film of all time.
