Letterboxd says this film is 84 minutes long, but the version I saw was 94 minutes long.
I saw the ratings and thought this wouldn’t be good, but I liked it more than the first one.
It’s bigger and bolder, with more action.
The first one felt too clean for the concept of the film, so James Cameron fixed that.
Even though he disowned the film, I still think it’s a good debut—even though it’s not legally his debut.
It already has James Cameron’s signatures: sci-fi, a strong female lead, and water. I don’t know why, but James Cameron loves water.
Not to mention Lance Henriksen. Even though he was only in two other James Cameron films, I still thought I’d bring it up.
This film is very good with surprises. Every time I predicted something I was wrong.
I only have a few complaints:
1. The structure. The film has the structure of a three-hour epic, even though it’s half that runtime.
(Not really a bad thing I guess)
2. The pacing. It felt longer than it actually was.
3. The sound design. Some scenes felt very empty due to a lack of sound.
4. Nudity. None of it felt necessary.
It’s also crazy what James Cameron did with the budget—only $145,000.
Anyway, now I’ve seen all of James Cameron’s films. His filmography is epic.
