*THE TERMINATOR* First Time Watching | Movie Reaction 

Bill Paxton. Only man to have been killed by an Alien, a Predator, and a Terminator.

Honestly this movie is basically a Sci fi horror flick and I absolutely love it. But the sequel is gonna be one of the greatest movies you’ll witness once you get to it

1 and 2 are the only good ones in my opinion

Kyle Reese was born in 2003. He went back to the past in 1984, and died... but in fact he wasn´t born yet. When John Connor has 18 years old, his father Kyle will be born... and he must ensure without fail, in returning him to the past, also inciting him to fall in love with his mother.

Linda aka sarah was in tv skow based on beauty the beast, called beauty and the beast

After 2 there is no point as it is one of the Greatest films ever made. The 3rd one was Rubbish. Salvation is not too bad thou.

My favorite bit is when he's in the apartment as the landlord asks about the odor coming from the room. The Terminator cycles through possible responses and comes up with "Fuck you, asshole", which is a nod to the scene where the T-800 (the exact model of The Terminator, also referred to in the movie by Reese as Cyberdyne Systems model 101) first arrived and encountered/slaughtered that gang of thugs led by Bill Paxton.

You thought Arnie was built in this movie? You should have seen him when he was in bodybuilding! Amazing.

You were talking when Reese said his name and rank :)

"Is the Terminator a villain?" The Terminator is a MONSTER. And a monster can be the most terrifying of *antagonists*... but is NEVER the villain.... The Terminator is an "evil robot." And the thing about "evil" robots, they're not really evil, they're *coldly logical,* and have decided that WE're the evil... and they're USUALLY RIGHT (Or at least have a good point) Or sometimes they DO have emotions but are then are horrifically abused and exploited by humanity and *righteously* rise up agaisnt their oppressors Monsters aren't villains, they're a *circumstance.* Monster stories are essentially man vs nature stories but nature is given a character and a personality. A monster story unfolds much like an animal attack story or a disaster movie. How the *humans* react to it determines who the heroes and villains are. The shark in Jaws is not a *bad person,* it's a *good shark.* The *Mayor* is the villian. The Xenomorphs in aliens aren't bad people, they're good xenomorphs. The *company* is the villain. The Terminator is not a bad guy, he's a good Terminator. The villian is the military industrial complex and humanity's need for war and our blindness to the danger of it all. The politicians and engineers are all inferred off-screen, but then the police and Dr Silberman are lo-key villians in that they refuse to believe the truth and see the danger. Consider, that like Reece, The Terminator is on a one-way suicide mission to save his race from extinction. To *other robots,* he's the *hero.* *BUT...* Monsters (and robots and animals) CAN be legit *protagonist* heroes. They're not human so when they're "bad" they're not violating the social contract. But for a monster to *willfully* choose to fight for humanity, makes them even *more heroic* than good-guy humans.(And sometimes, the humans ARE the villains and our sympathies are *entirely* with their non-human adversaries) You can have a story take place *within* a non-human society, then you can have heroes and villains relative to *their* morality. In the new Planet of The Apes movies, much of the drama takes place in the ape society, and so there are good and bad apes relative to the ape social contract, giving us both heroic and villainous apes.But then they're essentially "people" just of another species, like one of the intelligent alien races in Star Wars or Star Trek.

Nah family, the last couple of terminator movies, you definitely saw enough of them lol

James Cameron did indeed come up with the concept of the Terminator, he had a dream (nightmare) about a man made of metal crawling through a fire to try and merc him, then woke up and started writing the movie. Dude is a legend.

In my opinion T-1 is brilliant, T-2 is phenomenal, and all the rest aren't worth watching.

One hands down is the best and my favorite. They did way more with less and the story is what makes on top of the action. People viewing through 21st century eyes cant put themselves in 1984. Also this movie gained steam when it came to Cinemax and HBO more so than in theater release.

MASTERPIECE, 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, crazy you only saw the WORST one in the franchise, but now ur watching my Favorite. This and 2 are considered to be some of the Greatest films ever. WATCH THE DIRECTOR'S CUT OF 2.

Very rare to find a car with an alarm turned on in the 80's unless they were brand new. The original budget fir the movie was only 4 million. Later they raised the budget to a little over 6 million. That's why some things are a little iffy..like some of the graphics..and getting permits fir car chases. 😂 Only stunt I can find that it says Arnold didn't do in this one is jumping on the hood of the car. It's the only one I could find where it's specified that a stunt double did it. Watched all the Terminator movies. As far as I'm concerned only 1 & 2 exist now. Same with Predator and Alien franchises.

The third movie, the one you previously saw, IS about John. The actors who have played John have all been different. That movie is just okay. This one is better, and the second one is fantastic. Did want to give you credit for being one of the only people reacting to this movie who realized that the events happening to the young Sarah Connor are already starting to shape her into the tough woman who will educate John about fighting the war and beating the terminators. She dresses Kyle's gunshot wound, learns from him how to make bombs, is forced into defensive driving, orders the collapsed Kyle to get back on his feet, refuses to run when he tells her to, unstakes her own leg, and crushes the terminator. The Sarah at the end is armed and has a dog to detect future terminators. Few people seeing this for the first time figure out that Sarah is being changed through these events to eventually become the legend Kyle described. Good for you for picking up on that!

I absolutely love the 1st movie and the 2nd as well. and I have watched all of them, cause it's an amazing franchise!! Fun fact: Terminator was created due to James Cameron having a dream about a chrome skeleton crawling from a fire, when he was sick in Rome back in 1981. and the film was inspired by the futility of fallout shelters when it comes to nuclear bombs. he was the Co-writer and Director of the movie.

She was also in (Dante's Peak). A good volcano movie.

A sad fact, its when Kyle said that he always wondered what Sarah was thinking at that moment in the picture. And she was thinking in Kyle during that tape record...

I love Sarah's developement. From a regular woman who "don't event now how to chech the balance" to "Move on soldier!"

To me, The Terminator is the greatest low-budget sci-fi monster movie. Its cheaper than Alien and The Thing, and yet it's even more iconic. That's because of James Cameron. His groundbreaking use of 3D storytelling is all over this movie. Camerons groundbreaking sequel T2 is possibly the greatest action film ever made.

Ok - who else knows that Kyle reese is in grease? He's the jock in the letterman sweater in the beginning when kanicki puts the frog down in patty simcocks purse and he's in the basketball scene as he's the one that gets punched in the stomach

In 1984, Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) was most widely known from this movie, and also from the original Children of the Corn! There have been tons of movies in the Children of the Corn franchise, since then. Most of them are pretty bad, but the first one is a lot of fun to see.

You let your questions about the garbage sequels ruin this for you. Too bad.

I believe it is pronounced O'Ryan.

There's a PS2 game called "Terminator Dawn Of Fate" which is set in 2029 and it's very faithful to The Terminator except that it couldn't use likenesses of Reese and Arnold for the characters.

6:01 Those, my good sir, are Nike Vandals. Fun trivia, they’re the same shoes worn by Doc Brown in Back to the Future, except his were orange.

This was a very low budget film at the time. Many scenes were shot by Cam'ron without permits. So they would do one or two takes and get out of the location. At the time Arnold had only Pumping iron and Conan The Barbarian to his credit. Every actor was either unknown of a character actor. BTW there was no CGI at the time the filmed was made. Every stunt was preformed by Stuntmen. Every Special effect was practical, miniature, or stop action. It was this film that put Camrose and Arnold on the map.

I’ve seen them all. Even the tv show, the Sarah Connor Chronicles. It’s easier if you think if the movies in groups. The first 3 are together.

28:04 - He's actually in a scene in the third movie too.

This is an actual slasher movie. Terminator is like Jason or Michael Myers, just an unstoppable force and Sarah is The Final Girl. Great movie 👍👍

Car Alarms were a luxury in the 80s

Old man here. I got to watch this and Return of the Jedi in theatres back in 83. Amateur Filmmaker, 2D & StopMo animator. With the exception of 1982's TRON film, everything was practical. No computer generated imagery (CGI) until the late 80s & early 90s films like T2, The Abyss, and Jurrasic Park. Everything was either fully built sets, great makeup, animatronics, miniatures, stop motion animation, and forced perspectives. Real movie magic. T1 put James Cameron on the map. His prior film to this was Piranna 2. He had a 6+ million dollar budget, and made 78mil in the boxoffice. Master class film making.

Is he a villan.....answered 30 seconds later. Lol. Gun store owner is several movies including Gremlins and Small Soldiers

Linda Hamilton achieved a cult following later as the co-star in the Beauty and the Beast tv series opposite Ron Perlman 1987-1990.

Whats funny is you wanted to see the psychiatrist get killed, but he was in Terminator 3 you just didn't get the context to recognize who he was since you never saw Terminator 1.......

Just for the heck of it check out Conan The Barbarian, Arnold's first lead role. His body is why that movie was even made. Honestly cheesy,& you'll probably laugh some more; but you might like it.

They wanted OJ for the terminator part. But they were concerned he was too nice to play a killer. Back in the day he was America's favorite harmless black guy before Cosby. Anyway Arnold walked in and stole the part.

So you didn't recognize the dude from Aliens?? I liked (Dark Fate) by the way.

Many people consider T2 one of the greatest sequels ever. I love the Special Edition (not Final Edition, because of the ending that was rejected by test audiences), as it has more world building, more humor, more cool FX scenes and more character development, but also, a longer runner time. For a more streamlined action movie experience, the regular version (theatrical release) is fine too. Theatrical version made a few changes to the plot to accommodate the shorter running time.

Eye brows burned off.

there's a somewhat recent terminator game called terminator resistance that's really good. it's a first person shooter/stealth game where you play in the future and the earth is a wasteland and terminators are everywhere. i think it originally came out during the ps4 era but there's an enhanced version on newer consoles and probably pc. not sure, i have it on ps5.

"who thinks of stuff like this?" James Cameron. He had a nightmare and turned it into a movie.

T1 is my favorite. I love the slasher tone this movie has.

Remember there are no states in the future as we know them man

It's Orion like Oh ryan

Great reaction. Don't think it can happen? It's happening. Take a closer look at the dialogue that Reece is having with Sarah... about how the computers just got "smart" (smart phones, smart tv, smart watches, Grammarly etc. ...hooked into everything. Look at AI and how it may not look like the Terminator as Arnold portrays, but look at the damage AI is doing to some people as a humanity. Yes, AI may be helpful, as you will see in the next movie, but it can very well be what's metaphorically happening in many ways today. Look at entertainment and how much better movies in particular were back then. The playback quality can not be denied. There was a balance that brought so many wonderful layers to the art of movie making in endless categories.

Two 80’s movie that would be fun to watch! Adventures in Babysitting and Teen Witch

My favorite is a tie between 1 and 2. 2 is a better movie, but 1 sets the story and blew my mind (first saw it as a rental in 1986 for my 12th birthday party). The first 2 was al James cameron (writing/directing). 2 is awesome because of the CGI was able to do much that the practicle effects could not. 1 was great for its time, but as you noted, not always the best. In my opinion, all the moviews have value, but definately watch through 4 (Salvation) where Christian Bale does play John Conner. The first 4 do really largely make sense. After that they start messing with the timeline which makes them lesser in my opinion. There is also the tv show if you want, which is ok. (Sarah Conner show). 3 will make way more sense after you watch 2. Many of the things are a direct call out to the second movie.

I prefer the 1st over the 2nd one but both are great movies.

3:41 the dude on the right wasn't in The Mask. That was a different actor

T1 >T2 (Then its a huge drop off in quality ) > Terminator Salvation > T3 > Genesys > dark fate

"The Terminator" was heavily inspired by the 1964 episode of "The Outer Limits", "Soldier" and the original "Westworld" 1973.

The Female star was also in Dante's Peak another good movie to react to.

How in the world of anything making sense did you start with the 3rd movie? Oh, 9 years old. I get it now.

Great editing. Great reaction. To me 2nd is the best action movie of all time. Armageddon great one too

At the beginning, with the guys around at the viewpoint, the blue haired is Bill Paxton, a very well known actor who appeared in Titanic, Aliens or Twister, among others.

james cameron wrote it, directed it, even drew the exoskeleton himself. the ships too. fuckin everything! i believe it was the art director said he would basically get james to draw something up every time they got stuck. easiest gig he ever had. and that mf was GOOD. dude 8 million dollar budget. cameron is a fucking GENIUS. look at the documentary for T1 and T2 and Aliens. he blew everyones mind on set with how much he knew about EVERY aspect of film making. knew what was possible and know how to do it.

Actually no. After the movie was released, scifi writer Harlan Ellison sued Cameron for copyright infringement-- major plot elements were apparently lifted from an episode of The Outer Limits that was adapted from one of his short stories. Cameron swears he wasn't aware of nicking ideas when he wrote the script. The compromise was the addition to the closing credits, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO THE WORKS OF HARLAN ELLISON.

Greetings from Finland man!!! Great reaction and I'd like to see your reactions to at least four first ones in this franchise!!! "i'll be back" 😎

I think the movie you saw was Terminator 4 (FOUR) ... not 3. For reference: Terminator 1: Sarah Connor's story, learns about the war, mother to John Terminator 2: John as a teenager, hates mom, tries to prevent the war, hates his legacy. Terminator 3: John as an adult, realizes his legacy, tries to fight it, front row seat to the start of the war, and the most lethal terminator yet. Terminator 4: Tiny bit of John's timeline, but mostly about his dad and trying to determine how to prevent the original terminator from being created, fights from an older perspective. There's also a TV show in here somewhere ... and I believe a FIFTH movie, though I've never seen it. I think I've seen 4 before ... maybe bits and pieces ... but 1-3 are the iconic movies that set the pace for ALL other sci-fi horror films for decades to come. I saw bits and pieces of Terminator 1 while shuffling through channels on a cable box, with the manual channel changing dial (no remotes, and definitely no cell phones!) that went in circles with massive clickity-clacking goodness (if you passed the channel you were aiming for, you had to keep turning the dial until it came back around to the number ... one click at a time ... manually). BUT ... I saw this as an 8 year old Deaf kid ... and only the clip where the Terminator removes his eyeball and arm parts in the dank hotel room. Had no idea what I was watching, no captions back then (and for MANY years after), and at 8 years old all I knew was I wanted to know MORE about this because it was absolutely terrifying and fascinating. I had already "accidentally" watched parts of Poltergeist (the original BADARSE film that got me hooked on horror) a year before, and this was right up my alley!

Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, and Michael Biehn were all in Aliens. James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd were primary writers of Terminator, with William Wisher also contributing.

"The Terminator": The Hero's Joruney of Sarah Connor, assisted by Tech. Sgt. Kyle Reece.

It was John Connor in the third one.

I have seen every movie. And I would say 2 WOULD be my favorite. I do enjoy 3, and Dark Fate is pretty good in MY opinion. There’s a retcon at the start that pisses off a lot of people, but you just have to think of it as an alternate timeline.

Only my opinion but for me there's only ever been two terminator movies, This one and Judgement Day with the rest so not worth your time. Take it from an 80's kid everything beyond JD are just corpo cash grab. Love the content and can't wait to see more legend.

"I can't wait to see how young he looks"..😂.. you're gonna see more than that!...yo .the 2nd one is NUCLEAR 🔥

Part 1 is great, part 2 is legendary. The fact that you only saw part 3 is funny, even though I'm in the minority and would say that part 3 is good. It just falls off a cliff after that.

To answer your question, in "Terminator Salvation," Christian Bale played John Connor.

When you were convinced that Kyle was John, I said aloud, "You're not that far off; that guy is half of John's DNA!"

You think we are safe? Ever heard of this obscure thing called Artificial Intelligence?

As far as I’m concerned, one and two are the only ones worth watching

Check out Sophia Stewart she creator of terminator and matrix thn Hollywood james Cameron made magic in movie Terminator

Ok, 2 is going to blow your mind and become one of your fave movies. That's my prediction.

Rewatch part fie context and the end of the journey with the launching of the missles

The guy on the right that you thought was in the Mask, isn’t. He does look a lot like the main villain tho. He WAS however, Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat Annihilation

Turns out the only way for Skynet to win the war is to go back in time and stop itself from inventing time travel so that Kyle Reese can't go back in time and father John Connor.

Guy on right not in the mask. Too early but was main bad guy in COBRA with Stallone

You were really hoping to see the death of the Psychiatrist obviously not realizing that he was in the 3rd one that you watched. Cemetery Shoot out?

The actor who played Kyle Reese also played cpl.hicks I. Alein 2,and coffee on the abyss among other roles

I started with #2 myself so I thought his mom was crazy too. It gives a different perspective

This was Schwarzenegger at his peak physical condition

Guess you forgot the good Dr was in part 3 at thw cemetery seeing Arnie holding the casket and freakwd

" I can't wait to see how young he is" ...😅 me thinking- you bout to see a lot right off the rip...Lol

T2 is definitely by far the best and my favorite. The first one still holds a special place in my heart though.

You should do T2! Then do Brokeback Mountain because I need to be sure you’ve seen that.

The first movie is one of my favorite movies of all time and its better than the second movie. Every time i rewatch them the first one gets better and the second one slightly worse

YOU GOTTA WATCH THE 2nd one asap man ! Best one in the series

It’s actually the same Doctor in the 3rd movie lol. He escapes then too

Due to the low budget Arnie did do his own stunts in this including losing the eyebrows got paid extra for that

Hehe. Everyone's favorite is 2. I like this one a lot too. Has that noir feel that 2 does not.

Terminator 2 is not just one of the greatest si-fi movies ever but one of the great movies across any genre.

0:15 You have seen what you shouldn't. You have seen a shit.

After this Linda got with James Cameron. And her twin sister is in part 2 as well neat surprise

Yeah most cars didn’t have alarms back then I don’t think.

My favorite t 2 judgement day watch next.

Hope you are ok and well can not wait for you to see old boy the American 1 on engli 1

Need to wacth this one and 2. Two is amazing need to wacth

Her name is Linda Hamilton and she was in children of the corn
