If you like 'DC Comics' - welcome! "come together, right now!"

[drafter]

We need a terminator movie focused solely on the war, it needs to be gritty and r rated

[MiroslavGnjatovic]

Crazy how well Winston's Terminator effects still hold up (even the CG), they legitimately look better than the ones in any subsequent sequel.

[starwarsroo]

The movement on those T800's when they all advancing looks ace

[triggeredcat]

I love the shot at 1:19. It's staring you down, seeing you as the next target to terminate, raring to go.

[paulmichaelfreedman]

1:00 - 1:20 that scene was made incredibly well. Stood the test of time with no problems whatsoever. This movie is now 20 years old.

[danieljahn]

I really dig the subtle lower jaw movement of the T-800 in close-up. As if it really enjoys spreading fear and killing humans.

[masamune]

SkyNet should have sent more deer back in time.

[WolfgangLunar]

Why does the T-850 CGI look so much better than Genisys And Dark Fate?

[xtraspecialmango]

Why do these Terminators from 2003 look better than the Terminators from 2019?

[rahulranjan]

Tbh the opening shot beneath the seas was terrifying

[kaihedgie]

1:16 - See somethin' you like, boi?

[MattMorgan]

I really loved this opening and the transitions

[kiranpunnoose]

0:58 to 1:18 those are the T-850. Very similar to the original T-800 but extremely advanced. Upgraded and hardened endoskeleton to withstand plasma attacks, stronger joints and hydraulics, improved power cells, an electronic adrenaline system, limited skin regeneration, reboot ability, data evaluation, predictive forecasts, and upgraded files, the T-850 is far more stronger, faster, harder, and more dangerous than its predecessor.

[tc-channelhobby]

With how the machines are walking and acting makes me fell like each machine is its own individual and I love it, really gives character to them

[covertcobrazzz]

This movie being campy as hell, the visuals of the post apocalypse scenes were decent.

[Nicholas_Chen_]

Ok one thing I don’t get is that why he had nightmares about T800s? Surely he would more likely dream about T1000s smiling down at him.

[rickkcir]

1:13 It looks way more realistic than Genisys, hands down.

[TheFacelessStoryMaker]

The transition to the future, the music, the wide-sweeping angle of a massive battlefield with aerial HK's, huge amounts of T-850's marching with their weapons, and one stares right at us. Really damn good intro.

[alphasavage]

How exactly were the humans a threat to skynet is beyond me

[SoldierOfFate]

Remember when Terminator films up to Salvation actually respected their source materials?
