I saw this on VHS at an age I had no business seeing it. This was my first time watching it as an adult, and it delivered.
Holy sh*t this was a cool flick. The chase sequences alone should be taught in film school, and Linda Hamilton doesn’t get enough credit for carrying the movie.
I now worship at the altar of James Cameron.
Watched with special commentary from guest filmmaker Rick Rosset (not widely available)
I wanted to see it when it came out in theaters and sixteen years later I finally have.
It looked gorgeous and was such a sleek, slick film. The dialogue was cheesy as hell but that almost lends it charm at this point. The 35mm and audience really added to the experience.
I’m glad I picked it up for $2 on DVD a couple years ago because I’ll be rewatching it. In honor of Colin Farrell I had my first ever mojito after and god damn, it was good.
I went in knowing that Kristen Stewart would give a remarkable performance.
What I didn’t expect was that I would actually be engaged and enjoy it. The scenes with the kids really warmed my heart. All the other scenes went ahead and broke it. I even laughed a little.
Impressive on many fronts but I especially want to give a shoutout to Johnny Greenwood’s score.
Ridiculously over the top in all the best ways. This movie was hysterical and a blast to experience.
See what I did there?
SEE WHAT WE DID TO THE PLANET?!
Adam McKay said in the Q&A after that the entire car ride scene w/ Leo, Jen & Timothy was improvised. Leo brought that WWII song to him and Adam loved it and put it in the movie.
Also, Jennifer Lawrence was actually high during an Oval Office scene where her character was high.
