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.
The original film is an absolute classic, one of Arnies best. I picked up the remake on Blu-ray in a charity shop for a couple of quid because it was a nice steel book. I hadn’t seen it in years, it’s a just a mediocre sci-fi adventure.
I remember back in the day, the film caused a bit of controversy in the news for being so violent. It was being compared to Die Hard 2 and which film had the most on screen deaths.
