As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, let me share my two cents on how to truly savor the Terminator series.
Firstly, for those who crave the original vision of James Cameron, here’s the suggested watch order: Start with “The Terminator”, then move on to “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and culminate with “Terminator: Dark Fate”. By doing so, you’ll have witnessed the full grandeur of his masterpiece.
On the other hand, if you’re new to this robotic saga, I recommend starting with “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and following it up with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” and the rest of the sequels. After T2, the subsequent movies tend to disregard certain parts of the earlier ones, so embrace the rollercoaster ride that unfolds.
Though we didn’t include “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” TV show in our recommended order, if you’re a completist at heart, feel free to add it into your lineup after watching “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”. Enjoy the journey through time, battling robots and human emotion!
