Jurassic Park and T2 to this day have the best use of CGI and it's telling that out of all the 90s movies, the two movies to do it first also had it age the best compared to say...Men In Black and ID4, which are straight :huhldup: nowadays. Even Phantom Menace looked like a pre-rendered Dreamcast cutscene half the time.

It's hard to empathize with the action of a bunch of CGI models as opposed to real people and props.
? Independence Day looks great.

Speaking of movies still looking amazing. I watched The Thing again for the millionth time on blu ray and I'm just amazed at how good it still looks almost 40 years later.

100%.

The original in-universe reason for why more T1000's were never mass produced makes the original T1000 even more badass compared to the Terminators that came after (in both canon and just as movie villains).

According to the novelizations, the original T1000 in Terminator 2 was a prototype that basically had a mind of it's own (or more like, thousands of nanobot minds working together to form an autonomous creature), unlike other terminators that were in read-only mode. Skynet feared that they wouldn't be able to control the T1000 model and that the self aware model would go rogue and do their own thing independent from their mission, which might include killing Skynet, which had Skynet reluctant to ever actually activate the T1000:hubie:


The original Terminators didn't feel remorse, but they also didn't feel pleasure or anything else.

The T-800 completing a termination was like:unimpressed:

But the T-1000 completing a termination was like:demonic::mjlit:

And that difference terrified Skynet

I think we get a bit of that enjoyment-beyond-the-mission streak in T2, as the T1000 develops a sadistic personality, waves a finger at victims, and seems to enjoy killing and observing its death blows

So even with fewer "features" than the T-X or whatever, the T1000 was actually more dangerous because it had the capability of becoming sentient without a flip being switched, developing a personality, and motivations independent of Skynet, and Skynet had no idea what would happen if they activated this new creature of their creation. They only did so out of desperation. But Skynet feared that thing:francis:

There's a play on this in Sarah Connor Chronicles. "Will you join us?"

Ironically, the practical effects that ended up not being used for final cut of the remake look incredible. They're on YouTube somewhere.

TYRONE GA!


James Cameron is the goat, no ifs, ands or butts.

How does something made and filmed in the 80s look THIS good? :wow:


still one of my FAVORITE scenes ever.

To turn that corner and see Arnold, and the look on her face. She shoulda pissed/shytted on herself. Linda played that scene beautifully.
