Terminator rescue is considered one of the worst-reviewed films in the science fiction franchise.
But not in the eyes of James Cameron, who directed it himself Terminator 2: Judgment Day – a mega hit in the franchise.
In a throwback interview with Screen RantHe said: “It probably didn’t get a fair day in court because I had to look at it in the evenings when I got home from work, over a period of two or three nights.”
The Avatar director paid special attention to the role of Sam Worthington in the film, with whom he has worked for a long time.
“I think Sam [Worthington] is remarkable in the film, because I think Sam is remarkable in everything he does.”
Cameron also praised McG, the director behind Terminator Salvation, saying: “Interestingly, I think McG did a good job in that sense… I think he almost referenced the mythos of the first and second films too much. He over-quoted them in a sense?”
However, what the Titanic The filmmaker pointed out that the film had not been reinvented. He explained this with an example Terminator 2.
“I mean, what we did with the second movie is we completely reinvented the first movie; turned it on its butt and made the Terminator the good guy, and came up with a whole new concept for a villain, it felt fresh.”
“I didn’t think the fourth photo was fresh enough. There was also a certain authenticity missing because Arnold wasn’t in it. I mean, he was there for a short time, digitally, but that’s not the same.”
“I didn’t think it was bad. I didn’t think it was shameful. I don’t think he let the franchise down in a big way, but I did feel some discomfort that it didn’t go further.”
Terminator rescue is streaming on Netflix.
