That 80’s retro music is the cherry top in this scene.

[toecutter]

Reese reaction when girl soldier is blown away is great, like he's devastated, but no Time for feelings just keeps fighting however possible, what a kick ass scene

[nathanmcdonald]

Imagine having PTSD from construction equipment, poor Reese, his life was hell from start to finish.

[tylercouture]

When she threw the bomb and the machine turrent just automatically snapped to her and disintegrates her is so brutal

[neoasura]

Man, the 1984 version of the future is fucking grim, brutal and dark, no wonder why Kyle Reese is constantly on edge. The other movies versions of the futures just don't have the same grittiness.

[Nicholas_Chen_]

Poor Kyle, you can simply tell from his eyes that he's been through hell. What a performance.

[MarioTodorovBG]

40 years later still looks more badass than most of modern cinema... Its unique how at a specific moment a movie was made and will never be replicated in the same way.

[TheNickofTime]

The bit that makes me feel the most sorry for him in this whole movie is seeing how he pumps the shotgun in his sleep. I still remember my first viewing, wondering what life he must led to have developed a reflex like that.

[mrki-hbff]

I did play Terminator Resistance. When this scene was on the line my tears flow down my cheek. The developers made backstory for the died women and the machinegunner. I was shocked how they made this scene honorable to the Terminator franchise. Thank You Teyon and Reef Entertainment!!! <o

[MauricioJara]

This is honestly what the Terminator series is all about and what it should be about. Real, brutal, cold, yet despite the odds, a hopeful aspect of it. These future war scenes topped with the 80s synth really sells it for me. I doubt we’ll ever get something like this from the Terminator series ever again. Terminator 1 & 2 to me are the only ones that exist in my mind

[GothicGamerXIV]

If you've played Terminator: Resistance and its new DLC, than you know that this nightmare is actually real.

[fatdaddync]

The transition from the caterpillar tread of the construction crane to the tread of the giant hunter-killer along with the sound effect changing to crunchy human skulls still holds up 40 years later as one of the best moments of any dystopian science fiction movie.

[terrorsaur]

Kyle Reese has experienced nothing but pain, death and hardship all his life, and when he finally experiences happiness, he dies shortly afterwards. One of most tragic characters in all of fiction.

[bagsikdangal]

This scene shows how the future war evolved from using ballistics, to using lasers against soulless machines.

[purgetheheretic]

These brief scenes of the future war in The Terminator captured perfectly the desperation and hopelessness of a humanity fighting an unstopable machine. It's never been bettered in any of the subsequent movies. I really wish A Terminator movie centered on this struggle could be properly made

[NotCthulhu]

Gotta hand it to that gunner, getting whiplashed around like a hollow dummy filled with straw in the back seat there and still manages to get a few rounds off before being blown to bits. R.I.P. Straw Man.

[Pakilla]

For those who played Terminator Resistance, this hits harder now 😢

[ikasando]

I first watched this as a kid in the 80's when it was released. It never occurred to me that the other soldier was a woman, and it never occurred to me how that plays into Reese never having an actual relationship with a woman. The audience gets a momentary glimpse at a female resistance fighter, and then watch as she is literally splattered in front of Reese. Extremely sad.

[Enohan]

This scene alone better than dark fate and genisys

[dominblabla]

3:14 This moment when he wakes up and sees just a drill with relief on his face always gets me.
