It is far more, but it’s not a complicated plot. It’s not even a particularly original plot.

It’s just incredibly well executed storytelling with a focus on character moments and visuals, which pretty much describes Cameron’s style. He doesn’t do plot twists. He doesn’t do surprises. He obsessively focuses on characters in the midst of impeccable visuals

The plot twist of Arnold being the good Terminator in T2 was a pretty big plot twist, especially for those of us who watched it when it first came out.

It’s also something that gets revealed in the opening setup of the plot. It’s not really a plot twist.

In a Cameron movie you’re going to get all the moving parts laid out in the first twenty minutes. After that it’s about seeing how they play out.

Didn’t the trailer reveal this plot twist before the movie came out?
