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.

[first lines]
John Connor: [voiceover] The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that. My name is John Connor, they tried to murder me before I was born, when I was 13 they tried again. Machines from the future. Terminators. All my life my mother told me the storm was coming, Judgment Day, the beginning of the war between man and machines. Three billion lives would vanish in an instant, and I would lead what was left of the human race to ultimate victory. It hasn't happened, no bombs fell, computers didn't take control, we stopped Judgment Day. I should feel safe, but I don't, so I live off the grid - no phone, no address, no one and nothing can find me. I've erased all connections to the past, but as hard as I try I can't erase my dreams, my nightmares.
