+southlondon86 No... its not. Genisys is non-canon bullshit that doesn't matter at all.Genisys is pure computer made bullshit that looks fake as hell.T1 and T2 are the only movies with pure acting.
Wrong Turn I agree with you 100% about the look of the modern movies. T1 and T2 encapsulated the perfect grim look for both the future war and the cyborgs. Just enough CGI was used in T2 to make it look respectable. Unfortunately the trend in modern films is to use as much crappy cgi as possible to wow dumb kids. There's nothing that can be done about that. But in terms of paying homage to T1 and T2, it did do a better job than T3 and Salvation.
southlondon86 Hehe true.. true. :) And you make a good point as well. Classic is still on the top, but the days are different now... but still if i see movies like Mad Max Fury Road, then i'm all okay again. :P
This is James Cameron resumes it all! I'm sad there will never be any director like him with so much love for the cinema and the audience, his perfectionism proves it all. T2 is easily the best sequel in cinema history. Titanic: 11 oscars, the CGI in Avatar is the realistic i've ever see... what else to say?
You are SO right! Nowadays, movies are packed with shitty looking CGI effects. It's like watching a computer game instead of a movie. If this movie would have a remake in 2018, no real real explosions, the terminators would have been fake etc. etc. The 80's and 90's were the best.
Yup, crews actually worked their ass off with make up, props and stop motion very little if any cgi. Over all, older films such as t2 have remained classics because they are very much real and well made in terms of production. I can't say the same for new movies over saturated with cgi, I just can't get the thrill.
Oh, yeah. I'm just a little younger than Eddie Furlong and while I thought he was cute, Robert Patrick made me reel with his wolfish and breath-taking handsomeness! :D
***** It depends. The T-1000 was cool and all, but Arnold's T-800 was much more intimidating. It also had a certain "feel" of tenacity: while the T-X and the T-1000 are almost completely impervious to firearms, the T-800 is not, but shrugs it off anyway. Also, believe it or not, the T-800 is superior at ranged combat - unlike the T-1000, he does not jump and fall like a wimp when hit by a shotgun. In fact, the T-1000 is severely impaired when shot at, since it's molecular structure always puts regeneration first. The T-800, on the other hand, is a natural badass, moving forward no matter what. Bonus points for scary Endoskeleton.
Never thought of it like that before, when James Cameron "Terminators don't fight Terminators, hasn't happened before" going into new territory like that, I think he pulled that scene off perfectly. The T-800, being physically bigger then the T-1000, rationally, one would think that the T-1000 could never stand a chance against him or would use agility/"ninja" skills to get the upper hand but not so. Cameron wisely understands that both terminators are of equal strength and it shows in the scene. Damn, this movie is perfect...
James Cameron is a Master Director! When it comes to sequels, no one can beat him! And even though he takes a lot of years to make a sequel, he will impress you with a whole new level of ground-breaking visual effects! He transforms every object in every scene so that everything plays a role. My fave director!
Didn't bother with it, it looks terrible and the whole premise undoes everything about T2. This movie and T1 are lightning in a bottle they were lucky to catch twice.
I've been watching Teriminator 6: Dark Fate. I'm not sad. I'm very happy to see Arnold and Linda Hamilton again in this series. And I think that's a very good movie... better than Terminator 3, 4, and 5. For me, it is the best sequel for the Terminator 2... but also TERMINATE all the (side) story of the Terminator 3, 4, 5.
@@Kyokkouha "better than Terminator 3, 4, and 5" you say that like it was some sort of achievement. Dark Fate is still a piece of Sh*t. I'm so glad that at least this woke film failed!
I remember going to the cinema to watch this film. And when i came out and looked around at people talking about t2 I just knew I was gonna be part of history who could say I was there when this legend of a film came out!!!
Terminator 1 and 2 are LEGENDARY. After 2, they should have stopped. Seeing Bale in a dessert, or seeing an evil Terminator who enlarges her own breasts, or see a cocky Kyle Reese ... Every Terminator movie after this one should never have been made.
This movie is something else. Like something from beyond. Fantastic cast and actors, fantastic moviemaker, fantastic camera work, fantastic story and great message, fantastic effects, fantastic make up, fantastic sounds and music and so on. It simply never gets old. And never boring. It's still super intense movie and always a pleasure to watch. It's the art of movies at it's very best. Some may pray to God, I pray to Skynet.
Robert Patrick really did an excellent job as the T 1000-he came across as a genuinely emotionless killing machine, totally single minded. He was every bit as good as Arnold in the first Terminator film.
Robert Patrick was so trolling interviewers by wearing Arnie's wardrobe! ("Behold! I am the Master of Trolls, my legion shall dominate the newly formed Internet!")
An impossible movie to mimic, the only chance of a good continue was a part 2 (an end without an end), right on, with most 1 year vacation from each movie. With years past the oportunity was lost in time. Such a good connection and perfection they all have. The first movie that made me cry...and what a soundtrack...
Not growing up with motorcycles is the main reason. Plus, they can't afford to have a prime actor banging himself up during production learning to ride in serious action scenes. Plus, the kid's movie motorcycle literally had training wheels.
@aAaa aAaa I'm just a little younger than Eddie Furlong and thought he was really cute when I first saw him in T2, even crushed on him a little. Now I pity him more than anything since he's gone down a dark road which is unfortunately not uncommon with child actors.
0:43 I watched this movie just a few days ago again after much time has passed... and when I saw this scene I fucking burstet out laughing with happiness because how fucking amazing it was
LE0NSKA The commentary, Cameron tells that if he shot that scene today, he would have used a digital double, but back then, that stunt man ran across the back of the truck and jumped onto the semi with no safety wires.
It really shows how much effort was made into these movies, it's why I try to show that no matter what anyone (including myself) says about a movie they made, ignore it cause they really did put alot of effort and time into these movies. I do also understand about other films that's just terrible through the whole thing and should never been made but when you think about the how long an actor has to sit in a chair for hours just to put a little of make up on their face it shows that they really did alot they could to make a good film.
James, Arnold, Eddie, and Robert did an amazing job on this one but do not forget the score composer, Brad Fidel. The guy is in he same league as Hans Zimmer.
Interesting fact: Cameron originally was going to have Michael Biehn as the T-1000, under the rationale that Skynet chose his image to lure Sara and her offspring into oblivion. Cameron changed his mind after realizing that it would have been too confusing for those who watched the first film.
Now those are some real fucking effects. And they still look amazing to this day. See what happens when you put effort into your movies? Not sitting in front of a computer for hours? This. A masterpiece.
80s 90s movies had such a different feel to them. this movie takes me back i even remember the chair and house i was in when I saw it. I bet there are young adults today that still have not seen this masterpiece!
I am 47..and this movie is still one of my favs.. When I saw it in the theater back in the early 90s I was in awe...great movie. Kirk..Montreal, Canada
I like seeing Arnold in out-of-character, it's surreal. It's like the ultimate character actor behaving in the most natural way. I wish there was a movie that would make something of this.
