I saw it yesterday. Pretty solid action flick. Not as good as 1 or 2 but 10 times better than 3.Quote:

As some one who is not really a fan of either and hasn't really seen or cared to remember the old ones before them, is there anything I can get from seeing either star trek or terminator? Are they really good movies or are they worthless to see without being a follower?
I'll see Terminator tomorrow, so I can't answer that one yet.Quote:

literally had never watched a star trek movie or episode and was found it awesome. plus in the movie you find out that apparently Capt Kirk is from the state of Iowa so awesome... i bet he was a cyclone fan fa show:wink:Quote:

Good point here. Terminator would have a lot of back story to catch up to.Quote:

Haven't seen it yet but tomorrow I will. Many critics are harsh on it because it sounds like prior knowledge is needed. Why so many their profession have not seen the first three is beyond me, but I am not worried. Seen all three about 500 times each. -No Fate
Nothing will match T2. At the time, that flick was as good as it gets.
My brother watched the behind-the-scenes for that on HBO way back in 1991.Quote:

I guess Cameron flipped out, and the camera guy loved every minute of it.
Its too bad they could not get Cameron on board to direct the last two terminator movies. The first two that he made were GREAT. Terminator has a really good story line and he did a fantastic job with it. T3 was a bad movie, but I have not seen T4 yet.
I enjoyed T3, but I agree that it's not at the level of those first two. Of course, not many of these action movies are.Quote:

Yahoo had a article about the Terminator series the other day. James Cameron origanally thought of using OJ Simpson as the part of the Terminator. He didn't because he thought that OJ was too nice of a guy and nobody would believe him in the role of a ruthless killer.
