This is the absolute goofiest TERMINATOR sequel in a good way and a bad way. The good way is in being the kind of time travel story where everyone shows up on the Titanic at once, so complicated as it loops back on itself that there are scenes where the characters stand there trying to sort it out

The bad way is in how everyone talks like they're in a sitcom, and sometimes acts like it. There isn't a single character scene you believe. The most interesting thing is Arnold Schwarzenegger's continued career-long variations on this role, and he gets the best line ("DId you mate?")

I wish the whole thing had stayed in 1984 and been a weird mirror-inage version of the original, that would have required unsettling the audience’s expectations too much.
