In fact, this film is more like a pavement film for the continuation of the Terminator series. It is relatively plain to follow Cameron's story and prepare for the sequel. A step forward in the exploration of AI, but it also seems to be scratching, did not make Schwarzenegger a new idea, and the film also dispelled Cameron's original intention. From the perspective of the first two Terminators, the contradictory nature of being a technical fanatic and technical opponent in connection with the later Avatar is fully revealed. The shooting of The Terminator himself shows his characteristics as a technical madman, and the content of the film reveals his hidden worries and reflections on science. Science is powerful, giving humans unparalleled power; science is also greedy, it has no end, no sense of morality, it is both an angel and a devil. Although the first two Terminators ended with a sunny ending, Cameron’s expectations for the future were pessimistic. He showed this contradiction in Terminator 2. Linda Hamilton’s performance was very successful and made Terminator 2. With more thinking and philosophy, the depth is increased. The film does not have such a sense of contradiction. It is affected by its own mission. It not only has to reproduce Schwarzenegger's style and shape a new Terminator image, but also find a way to recreate history, which makes it have no leisure to express something. What can only flow on the surface. In fact, as far as its mission is concerned, it has accomplished quite well, and the story is told fairly smoothly, and it can be regarded as a fairly satisfactory film.

    Judgment Day is so perfect, why bother making a sequel.

    The director is not the James Cameron of the first two, which makes the third one a lot of shame.
