Watch Terminator 2 Judgement Day
James Cameron is back in the headlines thanks to Avatar, the new flick which supposedly revolutionizes cinema in much the same way as Terminator 2 did years before. That actually remains to be seen. If Avatar is still remembered in twenty years as a turning point in American film, that’s when it’ll get to be mentioned alongside Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Watch or rewatch it the next time you want to download movies.
Terminator 2 is always remembered as one of the most technologically innovative films ever made, but with Cameron, the special effects are only there to tell the story, not the other way around. The effects are always in service to the story, even with Avatar, which they say they’re getting ready to release in “4D” whatever the heck that means.
If you haven’t seen it yet, then… You must have been frozen in ice in the year 1991. Hello! Welcome to the 21st Century! No flying cars yet, sorry, but at least you can download movies online, so you have no excuse not to catch up on the classics of the last twenty years. If you’re wondering what Terminator 2 is about, remember Terminator 1? Okay now imagine that the Terminator is back here to protect Sarah Connor’s son this time from a liquid metal Terminator who wants to kill him. There, now you’re caught up.
T2 really does take some incredible steps in terms of special effects, though. The T-1000 is one of the all time great special effects creations in film history. Twenty years later, it still stands as one of the most impressive characters ever created with CGI, every bit as believable as Gollum or Doctor Manhattan. A lot of new technology was developed for the film, and that technology was coupled with artistry to create a really cool arsenal of effects.
There’s a purity to this movie. The first Terminator was maybe a little too in love with its heady, high sci-fi concept. This one stays focused on the action and on the characters, not on the twisty turny plot line. James Cameron always focuses on what’s important, not effects, not plot, but on character, and sometimes on hardcore action scenes.
If you haven’t seen it yet… Where the heck have you been for twenty odd years?! If you have, when was the last time you saw it? It’s always worth watching again as it really is one of the greatest American films of the last two decades.
Even if you have seen it, it’s been about twenty years since it was released and now they keep pumping out all these sequels, the television series and so on, and… None of this stuff is as good as T2 was in the first place, so it may be high time for a refresher course so that everyone can try to remember that Terminator was about characters, not heady, over complicated plotlines.
Bottom line, it’s an all time American classic, and you need to see it. Either for the first time, or for the hundredth, it’s always a good time to watch Terminator 2.
They would become self contained and then movable, allowing them to be used throughout the home and recording studios.
