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.
Now go watch Conan the Barbarian. On paper it should be terrible. Sword and sorcery nonsense set in some undefined past, starring a body builder with a very loose command of English. But it’s fucking amazing. It’s cinema. It spawned a hundred imitators, and you could count on one hand the number of those that were worth a tinker’s dam. Schwarzenegger, when he’s cast and utilized correctly, is actually fantastic, and he deserves more praise for his acting, when he’s given an opportunity to do it.
