This was, perhaps the most fulfilling film I've ever seen. I finally feel like someone read all of those feminist essays I wrote about Terminators 1 and 2 as an undergrad and made them into a perfect film - a lesbian reading which is also a parable about toxic masculinity while also being decidedly pro immigrant AND featuring all kinds of ass kicking and stupid special effects nonsense, which simultaneously never takes itself seriously but somehow still ruling completely.
My only, surprising for me, criticism is that I missed the sleazy Jared Kushner psycho blankness of Robert Patrick, and I never thought I would experience that. It's a weird feeling. It's fine though, I can just go and watch 2 or 3 of the made for tv films he suat out last year to assuage that feeling.
It may have not done well in opening week but I bet this film cleans up in the next ten years with streaming rights, dvd, and the universe of action figures , tshirts, lunch boxes and (oh please ladygod) novelizations that I will be buying everyone I know for the rest of my life (starting with a woke Karl doll complete with apron and loving family.)
Postscript... I just read some of the negative reviews of this film and, I think they have a point... after watching this film I felt so empowered that I could've gone outside and fought the nearest man, to to feel what it was like to ...overthrow something. I can see why they're scared.
