Wife really doesn’t like science fiction, made her watch it anyway. “Trust me, it’s great!” She was engrossed! The plot and acting really has the viewer questioning what’s going on. We all know what happened, but it would be interesting to experience it again for the first time.

One of Schwarzenegger’s better acting roles. You can feel his desperation and confusion, his second guessing himself.

Thoughts on the new one? Only saw it once, liked it at the time, haven’t felt the urge to spin it again.

    That’s one of my favorite movies. I saw it in the theater when it came out. I own the 4K blu ray steelbook (which looks amazing).

    The new one was so boring and long that it was emotionally painful to get through. I’m not sure why I watched the whole thing. I remember virtually zero details about it.

      I forgot I saw the new one so I ended up watching it again. I still don’t remember anything about it except that I was bored and disappointed.

      I judge movies by how well I remember bits, how much I thought about it later, if I woke up thinking about it. The new one left me empty. Fun in the moment, don’t remember a thing.
