Netflix's Terminator Zero Trailer Makes An Iconic T2 Moment Even More Horrifying, And I'm Strangely Super Pumped About It

As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day holds a special place in my heart. It’s not just another movie; it’s an experience, a rollercoaster ride of emotions that leaves you breathless and craving more. The iconic scenes from this masterpiece are etched into the very fabric of my gaming memories, serving as a constant source of inspiration for my in-game narratives.


There are numerous ways to express your enthusiasm for James Cameron’s “Terminator 2: Judgement Day.” You might acknowledge it as a top-notch film from the ’90s, a sci-fi classic, or one of the greatest action movies ever made. It holds a remarkable place due to its unforgettable and chilling scenes that continue to linger in our memories. Interestingly, the upcoming Netflix anime series, “Terminator Zero,” seems determined to make one of T2’s most memorable moments even more terrifying. Surprisingly, I find myself quite eager for this addition to the 2024 TV lineup.

The Terminator 2 Scene That Terminator Zero Has Made Even More Horrifying

On August 29th, Netflix is set to premiere a series penned by Mattson Tomlin, marking the release date of “Terminator Zero.” Given that this date coincides with Judgment Day in the “Terminator” film series, we’re in for a new portrayal of Sarah Connor’s apocalyptic nightmare. For comparison, here’s a clip from “T2”:

Experiencing those two minutes as a young child in an apocalyptic scenario might be the longest, most unforgettable moments in cinematic history, contributing significantly to the appeal of a great “Terminator” film.

Observing this scene reimagined under an apocalyptic lens, now seen through the perspective of young computer programmer Malcom Lee (André Holland), the terror is amplified due to its traditional anime style portrayal. The intensity increases as we witness Malcolm’s personal hell in his dreams, with his two children standing by his side during the event.

Considering the personal bond, the implications become significantly greater. That’s why witnessing his gradual decomposition due to a nuclear explosion carries an even heavier emotional toll. The graphic depiction, undeniably intense, further underscores this impact.

Without a doubt, the individual who thoughtfully included that lengthy close-up of Mr. Lee’s eyes – the last living part on him – deserves a pay rise. Yet, I cannot help but dislike them for valid reasons. This fresh take on an old story has only fueled my anticipation for what Terminator Zero will unveil even further.

“Viewers with a Netflix subscription will find ‘Terminator Zero’ to be both a cherished dream and a chilling nightmare when it premieres on August 29th, a date that dedicated fans are already anticipating. In the meantime, you can re-experience ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ across multiple streaming services like Pluto TV, Peacock, and Paramount+ as of this writing.”
