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.
Watching the 2013 one made me appreciate the 1990 one even more.
E.g. everything in the first one makes sense. But a half-ruined/poisoned city having the resources to build a tunnel through the planet? And a pisspoor sneak invasion plan instead of simply using that wealth to cement their dominance over the other region??
There were other points as well that made me feel the plot, motivations etc were all well constructed with the first one and a mess with the second one but I can’t remember them now, not having seen the remake since it came out in the cinema, and no plan to see it again.
