Terminator 2: Judgment Day https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/85/Terminator2poster.jpg Dir: James Cameron Genre: Action, Science Fiction Year: 1991 It is remarkable how great T2 is to this day. This was really the first action movie to incorporate CGI and it all still looks better than 99% of the shit you see today. This is large part due to the master James Cameron, who knew exactly how to balance the emerging technology with some of the best practical effects we've ever seen. T2 is an action movie before it is a sci-fi film, and it does it better than anything before or since. Arnold is perfect as a sort of anti-hero, buttressed by Linda Hamilton as the movie's true protagonist. But how can you make an exciting movie where one of the heroes is an invincible machine? Well, that's where the T-1000 comes in, one of the greatest movie monsters ever conceived. You spend the entire movie wondering just how he can possibly be defeated, which leads to some of the most inspired action set pieces (the truck chase, the steel mill, etc.) ever. Finally, T2 also manages to balance out this action with an intriguing story and some truly atmospheric apocalyptic themes, and a human element in John's relationship with the machine. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:924192028] in The SephG ...
