I feel like early CGI was bright and lacked detail so the T1000 especially can hold up because hes mostly formless. Its my favorite movie and its still great.
i sorta wish there was a plot explanation for how they conveniently ended up in a steel plant. that always bugged me. like if that car chase ended anywhere else they'd have had no chance at defeating the T1000.I dont know it happened the same way in T1 and I had no complaints. But your right they just happened to end up with the only things that could defeat the T1000 like the liquid nitrogen and molten steel.
The stuntwork in particular is fantastic, notably some of those helicopter maneuvers in the final highway chase; not something I noticed as a kid, but as an adult I was like "how in the hell did that pilot do that without chopping himself and everyone else to bits?"
Speaking of that. One of those things that once it was pointed out I can never NOT unsee it. There's a point during that helicopter chase scene where the T-1000 is reloading/shooting his gun and he has extra arms still flying the helicopter while his "main" ones are doing the work with the gun.
The T-800 has detailed files on Los Angeles area, so he purposefully leads the chase toward the steel plant. If we saw it from his eyes, he probably picked between 3-4 locations that had the potential to kill the T-1000.
The liquid nitrogen was on its way to the foundry to be used for some manufacturing process.
Who was the weirdo who thought inserting a guard licking the face of a stranger while they were bounded was a great idea? It offered nothing to the plot whatsoever.
even as a kid i thought that was really weird and i didn't quite understand it. as an adult, i still don't get how it adds to the plot in any way. the only thing i can think of is that it shows how strong Sarah was to be able to avoid reacting. it also shows how deplorable the conditions of the hospital are.Yeah I think that's there to just show the disdain the employees have for the people under their care. It doesn't add anything other to demonstrate Sarah's self control.
Yea it's because Cameron is a competent filmmaker.
