I can actually make a connection between these two movies and many of you have probably already seen it. If you have then I certainly hope you saw Terminator first because I found that watching Star Trek first detracted from the Terminator experience.

Chekov is John Connor’s DAD?! All I could think while I watched the guy in Terminator is that at any second his Russian accent will pop through and he’ll start muttering “wicktor, wicktor” as his password into someplace. I think Star Trek should have just dumped the character all together (I’ve never been his biggest fan) but they should certainly have warned us if they were going to use the same actor so that I could watch the movies in a better order.

On the up side, Star Trek turns out not to be horrible (thank you Simon Pegg) and Terminator turns out to be too packed with action for us to wonder about all the time loop problems associated with the story line.

As long as you watch Terminator first you shouldn’t have any problems with these movies.
