classic. turned 30 last month

and even though in the franchise the T1000 is "Weak" compared to the likes of the Termatrix or whatever was in Dark Fate... t1000 > all of'em
I think so too. In fact I think the T-1000 is so powerful that they had to resort to gimmicks to try and make the following terminators seem more bad ass, but none of them seemed nearly as menacing to me.

The T-1000 was about as elite as it gets for villains.

yeah. They tired to recreate the same fear wit the Dark Fate terminator...but that guy loooked pretty goofy overall

Robert Patrick was fukking scary

now he :flabbynsick:1000
Absolutely. I was 8 years old when this dropped, and my fukkin summer day camp teachers took the classes to see this in the hood theater.
:russ:

And yes, this is a film that you can watch today in a theater-ish setting and it’s still spectacular. I gotta do that with my daughter sometime.

Some of the best CGI work is when the camera is steady, and it doesn't involve action. Most of the shots where the CGI shows the repair happening, is when it allows the viewer to get it.

A ton of movies now have CGI as a part of the action. However the best CGI in those movies is the actual background, and not from the effects themselves because they appear as a 'blur', leaving your mind to imagine it having effect.

Plus going into Scorsese's bag, but where Terminator 2 also holds a high standard, is that the movie itself is about two things:
  • John Connor FINALLY finding a Father Figure in his life.
  • Sarah Connor BECOMING a Terminator but gradually becoming a Human again, and a Mother for John.
Those themes of Parenting overlay a Science Fiction movie, and why its without a doubt one of the best movies ever and will be Cameron's Magnum Opus.
