It’s just astoundingly well-made if one ponders the details. The semi truck looks unmistakably menacing straight from its appearance from the overpass. T1000 famously runs like a robot rather than a human.
Comment on At the park, and it's such a beautiful day! 😃
MTZ@lemmy.world 1 day agoIt’s shocking how good T2 actually is. It’s almost perfect, really. I wonder how it holds up today. I bet it still holds up very well today, even without the dozens of parallels.

Yeah, definitely. And this particular scene where Sarah is dreaming of the nuclear blast is forever seared into my memory. It starts off normal(ish) but it quickly becomes apparent that something is very, very wrong. Then, in an instant, just complete destruction… everywhere.
As a kid who grew up on the East Coast, on a major military base during the tail end of the Cold War, this scene really messed with me.

And doesn’t blink when shooting!

That’s T800. The T1000 might actually blink in the film — perhaps to better blend with humans. 乁( ᐛ )厂

Well, the T-800 (Schwarzenegger) was never seen blinking because he (almost) always had shades on. The T-1000 never blinked because the actor Robert Patrick spent weeks practicing shooting without blinking.

My wife and I rewatched it like 6 months ago and it’s still 😙🤌

I just showed it to my kids this past weekend (you know, to celebrate Easter) and I kept pausing it to gush about the techniques and special effects.
Luckily, autism is hereditary.
