It just straight up felt like an extended chase scene in an action movie. I
mean, the morphing effects of the T1000 were an interesting gimmick, but
that's all they were. There just wasn't any suspense, and definitely no
horror. Hell, the closest to horror we get is when they break into that
Cyberdyne researcher's home and John orders the T800 to rip his own arm off
to show he's a machine.
