The pioneering CGI effects still hold up very well today. Especially amazing considering how far we have come since then. But some of the practical make up FX I felt were surprisingly weak. The fake head of the security guard who is killed via the eye stab and the head of Arnie that gets crushed by the T 1000 always struck me as being extremely poor. I also got tired of the film's hackneyed peace message (and I am a pacifist, btw). On the other hand, great action with an awesome final act. I still for the life of me can't understand how Robert Patrick didn't become a huge star after this.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097420555737415471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-45568361768157197732014-10-21T17:35:26.189-04:002014-10-21T17:35:26.189-04:00I say this all the time but Terminator 2 is the be...I say this all the time but Terminator 2 is the best action movie in my books. Perhaps it has something to do with having seen it first time at age 10. I can remember the playground nuclear apocalypse scene haunting me even at my early teens. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
