Voiceover 3 billion lives lost on April 29, 1997 - Judgement day.S: all practical effects, no CGI-the music!-And then the Terminator coming through the flames at the end of the intro epic In 1995, John Connor is living in Los Angeles with his foster parents. Hismother, Sarah Connor, had been preparing him throughout his childhood for hisfuture role as the human resistance leader against Skynet, the artificialintelligence that will be given control of the United States' nuclear missiles andinitiate a nuclear holocaust on August 29, 1997, known thereafter as "JudgmentDay". However, Sarah was arrested and imprisoned at a mental hospital afterattempting to bomb a computer factory. In 2029, Skynet sends a newTerminator, designated as T-1000, back in time to kill John. The T-1000 is anadvanced prototype made out of liquid metal (referred to as "mimetic polyalloy")that gives it the ability to take on the shape and appearance of almost anything ittouches, and to transform its arms into blades and other shapes at will. TheT-1000 arrives, kills a policeman, and assumes his identity; he also uses thepolice computer to track down John. Meanwhile, the future John Connor hassent back a reprogrammed Model 101 Terminator to protect his younger self. S: T101 entrance badass, little spoiled by “Bad to the Bone”-T1000 intro very mincing. We also don’t know what kind of Terminator he is, yet-Early 90’s point: foster dad smoking inside. Weird.-John Conners friend is Danny Cooksey, who also played Bobby Budnick on Nickelodeon’s show Salute Your Shorts from 91-93. The Terminator and the T-1000 converge on John in a shopping mall, and achase ensues after which John and the Terminator escape together on amotorcycle. Fearing that the T-1000 will kill Sarah in order to get to him, Johnorders the Terminator to help free her, after discovering that the Terminator mustfollow his orders. They encounter Sarah as she is escaping from the hospital,although she is initially reluctant to trust the Model 101. After the trio escapefrom the T-1000 in a police car, the Terminator informs John and Sarah aboutSkynet's history.[a] Sarah learns that the man most directly responsible forSkynet's creation is Miles Bennett Dyson, a Cyberdyne Systems engineerworking on a revolutionary new microprocessor that will form the basis forSkynet. S:-Sarah Conner is 29-Note when T1000 is questioning foster parents, dogs barking in background.-I like how both terminators are stalking/pursing John. We’re not sure of their intention, yet.-brilliant how they used corporate coverup to eliminate any plot holes from the previous film.*MALL:*-The Afterburner video game (which was an awesome game) John is playing says “The End” as the terminators zero in.-when the terminator pulls the shotgun from the flowers why does he have to cock it? Why isn’t it already loaded?-I love the sound design of the liquid metal terminator-The music, pacing, acting, and editing, make this first fight between the terminators perfect. Zero emotion.*CHASE:*-TOW TRUCK OFF THE BRIDGE!!-Is it normal for all the broken down/abandoned cars in the drainage things?-T101 doing the swing reload on the motorcycle = AWESOME.-How does a heavy tow truck bumping a 10-12 year old on a dirt bike not knock him over?!-Biggest complaint about the whole section: sometimes you can tell it’s stunt actors.-Also, T1000 walking through flames = epic.GETTING AWAY:-followed by a LOT of exposition.-foster parents on phone, dogs barking again.-Sarah plays it REALLY smart when being questioned.-90’s lingo: “Did you call MUWAH a dipshit?”SARAH ESCAPE:-I tried picking locks with paper clips bc of this movie. Never worked.-T1000 coming off the floor, awesome.-Guard has a full house, 2 aces and 3 diamonds.-Sound design, how the footsteps change when T1000 changes from guard to original form.*MENTAL HOSPITAL ESCAPE*-Iconic line: “I swear I will not kill anybody” then shoots the guard, “He’ll live”-Sarah’s fear seeing the T101 = excellent-T1000 going through the bars 10 years BEFORE The Rock and his CGI scorpion king in the Mummy Returns. James Cameron ahead of his time.-When did John get all the ammo?-like most sound design, but T1000 sounds like he’s got a silencer, and shooting a shotgun and 45 in an elevator, they’d be deaf.-Lots of exposition, Dyson, sky net and cyberdyne. Sarah gathers weapons from an old friend and plans to flee with John to Mexico,but after having a nightmare about Judgment Day, she instead sets out to killDyson in order to prevent Judgment Day from occurring. Finding him at hishome, she wounds him but finds herself unable to kill him in front of his family.John and the Terminator ...
