Terminator 2 Judgement Day | Canadians First Time Watching | Best action movie ever?? | Movie React

[@CineBingeReact]

So incase you're wondering why the poster stayed on screen even after the movie started, we were determined to keep Sarah's narration at the start but YT just kept marking it with copyright, and for some bizarre reason, plastering a poster on top of it fixed it.

[@waterbeauty85]

In the official novelization of T2, the epilogue reveals that elderly Sarah hired a private detective to find out what happens to Kyle Reese in the new timeline she created. She learned that he's married with a family living an ordinary peaceful life. Sarah didn't try to contact him because it would be pointless and because she didn't want to disrupt his life, but she was just glad to know that he's safe and happy. When the American Film Institute made a list of 100 Greatest Movie Heroes and Villains, Arnold's Terminator made it onto both the heroes and villains lists. Jodie Foster (who was one of the Institute members who voted him onto the heroes list) said that the character is compelling because "He's the monster who wants to be good." I found that kind of touching.

Exactly! We don't need flawless Mary Sue's! Sarah Connor is a horribly flawed and broken individual, but it's perfectly fitting given everything she's been through! She's strong, tough, and resourceful, because she has to be, but things don't always work out for her on the first try just because she's a girl boss. Take Sarah's escape for example. You know for a goddam fact that she's been perfecting that escape for years, improving the plan across every failed escape attempt, which Dr. Silberman mentions.

[@pickthestickup]

Yeah this alternate ending felt odd. The theatrical ending was perfect the way it is. The voiceover from Sarah caps off the movie perfectly, while mirroring the open ending of the first film. Once we see the shot of Sarah comforting John, it cuts to a shot of a dark road from the POV of the front of a vehicle. "The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it for the first time with a sense of hope. Because if a machine-- a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too."

Distracted!

[@DoubleMonoLR]

@@jkhoover It wasn't Cameron that created the effects though, the CGI was ILM/Industrial Light & Magic that was founded by George Lucas. The practical effects were Stan Winston. Other companes were also involved. Of course, for CGI they spent far more time creating the effects, and altering code etc, so despite the less capable computer side, much more human effort/attention to detail was involved. From memory there was only a few minutes of actual CGI in the movie though, aside from practical effects, some of it was simpler computer effects such as morphing. One bit always stuck out though, I think Cameron hated it, when the T1000 was dragged behind the car around a corner, and it was clearly just a dummy.

[@logandarklighter]

You guys had some excellent thoughts and speculations at the end about the liquid nitrogen and the glitching that the T-1000 was experiencing. You got it right for the most part! Excellent! Two things - First is background - according to the novelization, the T-1000's most BASIC command is "find main mass and join together". The range that the T-1000 can order it's various blobs around is 14 Kilometers. If the main mass of the T-1000 moves beyond that range, the default directive for the smaller mass is "Hide and Blend in". Thus it would do something like spread out over the surface of a floor, a wall, or a pipe or railing, and mimic the underlying object, becoming a slightly thicker layer - like paint - over the object it is mimicking. This command also kicks in if the T-1000 is badly damaged. So what happened with the glitching? Well - the whole mass of the T-1000 was damaged at a deep level by the freezing and re-thawing. Given enough time it would repair itself internally and reset. But the T-1000's "kill mission" took priority. BUT - since the entire mass was damaged, the command to "Hide and blend in" was constantly kicking in, and the T-1000 was constantly having to override this in order to continue the chase. Secondly and related to the first item - If you watch the film again - take notice of the fact that the T-1000 after the freeze and thaw is moving SIGNIFICANTLY slower than at any other time in the film! This is because he's constantly having to fight that "blend in" command and not just melt flat over the ground (like at the hospital). So he's moving more cautiously and deliberately trying to keep himself together and operational enough to finish the mission.

[@the_ed2135]

I didn't know that! and I read the book adaptation...maybe too many moons ago, Thanks

[@quintonhowells299]

I never read the adaption; to me (growing up), it was always a case of heat. Because T-1000 is, at room temperature, a memetic poly-alloy, it stands to reason that it would become inherently more memetic under higher ambient temperatures (as shown in the extended cut), and no counter programming was ever written, because this was not an anticipated operational scenario. It was so unanticipated that, having to anticipate and account for any and every other scenario before this one, just based on how likely that scenario is to occur, would cause whole seconds' worth of operational delay

[@Calamity_Jack]

Are you... from the... future??!??

[@RustyDust101]

Nice! Thanks for the info. Meshes perfectly with my own reasoning, and adds quite a few great twists as well. I like to think about the background reasoning behind many movie scenes. Unluckily for me my brain does that on automatic, even when watching movies in the theater. If a movie does not engage my brain fully it tends to spew out such little factoids at my consciousness while watching it for the first time. Again, unluckily for me, my other brain centers, especially the one for self-control don't have enough calculation time to keep my mouth from being overridden when a particularly ridiculous concept pops up. Like in one of the Star Wars prequels when Yoda suddenly bounces around Count Dooku with a light saber in his hands. In the theater that caused me to loudly call out (in German): "Oh, Yoda Kampfflummi!" / "Oh Yoda combat bouncy ball!" generating a few laughs, but the scene was totally busted of all its tenseness and only became a cartoon scene after that. Sorry to all my fellow movie goers, but I just couldn't help myself.

I was 11 when T2 came out, and this movie was EVERYWHERE! I had to wait till it came out on video to see it... but even if I'd seen it at the cinema, there was no way avoid knowing the main plot twist of Arnie being the good guy because it was made clear in all the pre-release publicity. Cameron fully intended from the get-go to make the Terminator the good guy - it wasn't a publicity ploy or the result of market testing or anything - but he wanted it to be a secret. The studio, however, was forced into revealing it because at the time of release, several parent groups raised concerns about Arnie playing a violent bad guy again, after he'd starred in a couple of more family-oriented movies and was now seen as a heroic leading man. They were worried that seeing their kids' hero gunning down scores of innocent people would be damaging to children, so the trailers made it explicit, even having a specially filmed shot of Arnie turning to the camera and saying the line "I swear I will not kill anyone." This is why it's so cool seeing people watching it for the first time and being completely oblivious to the twist! It's how James Cameron wanted it, and it's nice to see that it actually works! Another fun little fact is that Arnie was reluctant at first to have the Terminator be a good guy - this was the role that made his career and he didn't want to mess with what worked, but Cameron was able to talk him round. And it was perfect. Now do True Lies, guys!!

This was an intentional choice on his part to show that even though the T-1000 is more advanced and better at mimicking human behavior than the T-800 it's still a machine.

Fun facts: No green screen effects were used when the T1000 duplicates someone, instead identical twins were used, which is why it looks so clean for 1991. That includes using Linda Hamilton's twin sister when the T1000 copies Sarah Connor at the climax. When Sarah hits the sicko licker guy in the face with the mop handle, she really hit him in the face full force. Linda Hamilton thought herself to pick locks so she could do it for real during her escape from the hospital. The T1000 actor runs incredibly fast, and kept catching up to John escaping on the motorcycle, and when they are escaping in the security car.

The Terminator… one of the best villains and heroes of all time. The first movie you’re shouting for him to just die, and in the second you start to tear up when he does die

[@nentj]

Congrats on watching the best action film ever made. Actually, it is one of the best films ever made. There's not much to criticize about this film as it is one of the best examples of cinematic art. There are many details to pick up, and many of them would be hard to spot even for someone that watched this film for 50+ times. Weirdly enough, this film never gets old because it really sets the atmosphere properly. The sound effects and the way they were made is a very cool story, worth a visit. When T-800 was smirking with the minigun, he picked it up from John himself. This shows that he was closely watching John's emotions, reactions, as well as everything that he did. This made him to eventually learn the concept of the emotions. When John hugs his crying mother at Dyson's home, T-800 also got it which is why he imitated it at the end scene. When T-1000 fell into lava, he went through each and every form because of high danger in the situation. Machine obviously tried everything in its power to survive, even if it meant to redo everything that it learnt during its short time of activity. It is very possible that T-1000 works via radio, but it is more probable that the alloy is magnetized to some degree. The entirety of T-1000, or at least a hefty portion, is liquid molecular brain network that works independently from Skynet. It's nanorobotics. Furthermore, I believe it's been established that the mimetic pollyalloy it is made of is actually highly carcinogenic. The form of T-1000 is also interesting aspect. At the start of the film, T-1000 is actually using a living tissue for the purposes of the time travel. It is possible that the tissue gets completely eradicated during the truck explosion back in L.A. Due to the self-learning process, the T-1000 keeps the police's uniform and the original image devised to blend in the film. The actor for T-1000 had to go through a prolonged firearm training, so that he could shoot with both hands without flinching. Also, he had to endure breathing physical training which allows him to run very fast without looking tired. He was made to look especially menacing, cat-like, with a heavy focus on sensing things around, allowing for a quick hunt and disposal of the targeted enemy. The T-1000's separated part in the car escape chase can be used as a tracking device. The reason T-1000 kills Todd is due to interruption, and an apparent giveaway of the situation. This is why he centers him directly into his mouth. In this scene, due to the urgency of the situation, it is also evident just how fast the blades can strike someone, giving us the full understanding of just how deadly T-1000 is, as well as what a great infiltrator he can be as he can imitate both a cop in the hospital, and lady that cooks the dinner. In the T2 trilogy novels, it is revealed that the name of the person whose physical human properties are used for T-800 is called Dieter von Rossbach, an Austrian-born cia agent. The model was used by Skynet for the purpose of infiltration. Dogs were among the best ways to find out who's terminator. This is such a genuine aspect in the films, because even during the futuristic war against the machines, dogs have remained loyal. Human's best friend in the times of need. It is evident that Max was John's favourite, and that he was heavily disliked by the foster parents. There is a bit of cinematic symbolism there for a keen eye, because the dog was held in a cage similarly to how John was kept with his foster parents. The amount of plot holes are rather minimum, which for a film of this caliber that deals with robots, time travel, emotions, interactions, shapeshifting, infiltrations, combat, a sense of urgency, and so forth is rather a great achievement.

[@Thane36425]

This was very impressive when it was released and on the big screen. CGI was still fairly new, at least of this quality, so it was used sparingly around the practical effects. The theater I saw this in was near a major military base in the US. Some people near me were freaking out about the nuclear blast and were saying it couldn't look like that. A man in front of them turned and said yes, it was very close, and he was an officer trained on nuclear weapons. What happened to Sarah was probably a bit of artistic license, but the city was as close as they could manage, and some of it was practical effects.

If you’re watching the rest of the series, I’d skip T3, Genysis & Dark Fate; they don’t manage to capture the greatness of the the first two films.
