Viewing Notes

I really adore this movie. Very happy to finally see it on the big screen again since its original release. I used moviepass but it was only $5 at Muvico. Crazy!

There are so many moments I truly love in this. Kyle Reese is an all-time favorite character. “I came across time for you, Sarah.” Having not seen it in its entirety for many years I noticed things like Bill Paxton and Brian Thompson as punks. Forgot that Lance Henriksen was even in this!

Also the pacing is incredible. There’s not a lull to found even when the movie pauses to breathe. I’ve been wanting to revisit this for a long time (even bought the Blu-ray) but glad this opportunity came to see it big.
