Since doing these videos, I've watched and done videos on Terminator: Genisys.

I recorded this last night right after having watched the movie, and processed it this morning. I hope you enjoy it, and that I can help spark debate about the film.

There are no spoilers in this. I made this as much for those who have not watched it yet as for those who have. I don't swear in this review, for those bothered by such.

The spoiler-free review(1 hour and 25 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPPXT4VE2sA
The spoiler-ridden(50 and a half min) video where I go over thoughts I had on the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI5e2kww3GA

Spoiler alert: I reveal a lot of what happens in the Terminator movies 1-4 and the show(I do briefly give a spoiler-free review of it first), including details of the endings(I go through them chronologically, though), and talk about T2's Director's Cut(not sure you could call them "spoilers", they don't greatly alter what happens in the film); I made this mainly for those who have already watched them all. I swear a bunch in these and there are a few sexual themes, since there is strong language in the first three films.

I recorded this yesterday(and finished editing it today) after watching the last of the show and watching the first two movies(the only I own, and the only of the films that I like) in a couple of days. It was the sixth or so time I watched the first two, and I've watched T3 thrice and T4 once(in the theater), the first season of the show twice and the second season once. I hope you enjoy it, and that I can maybe put words to what many found frustrating about the last two sequels. Do note that I criticize all three sequels(but not claiming that T2 is bad), and the show. I also briefly go into one of the tie-in games, Terminator 3: War of the Machines.

This is made up of pure one-takers, so occasionally, I misspeak or begin a sentence without ending it.

I recommend you, if at all interested in such, watch footage from what I am reviewing in another tab, as this video does not feature any, and in general isn't all that visual. And yes, I realize I am being neurotically over-cautious of Fair Use.

For those who want a written, more or less the same version of this review: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1340138/reviews-14

In preparation for this video, I watched behind-the-scenes featurettes and commentary tracks, read reviews and the like of this on sites like MetaCritic, ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, Wiki, IMDb, GameFAQs, wikia and/or RottenTomatoes; if I restate(and/or comment on, as I may disagree with it) something someone else has said, I don't mean to pass it off as something I thought up, myself. I don't claim to come up with all the criticisms and points I make. The reason I paraphrase what others have said is that I want these videos to cover the whole subject(movie, game, etc.), not only things that I thought of myself.

As usual, any and all feedback is very welcome.
