I guess what's killed these movies, is that good special effects are common enough now, that there's nothing special about them/no reason to see a movie for them.
It made @$4m in Brazil. $1.5 Argentina. $4 Colombia. $7 Mexico. $50 China. $17 SK. $21 Japan. $13 SEA. $28 UK/Spain/France/Germany. I don't get why it was set in Mexico- doesn't seem like the right financial decision was made.
I don't understand how the casting department has kept their jobs through this series. Seems like they'd benefit greatly from shifting $10m from special effects to casting bigger stars, or at least bringing people back consecutively. If they're going to have magical terminators, they may as well hand-wave away bringing back actors so that there's some thread tying these movies all together.
The short-haired woman is a really bad actor. At least Arnold is a charismatically bad actor. The motel scene felt like watching a practice shot. I skipped past the scene talking about her survival.
I wonder why they made it 2 hours long. Maybe the foreign market feel like long movies offer a better value. Felt like it'd never end. Just a diverse group of independent scenes stuck together with no backbone.
I wonder why American companies don't just branch off some divisions to create movies solely for foreigners? Maybe the audiences will only watch them if they're "American".
I think if I could go back in time I wouldn't watch it.
