[@dvdmethod2]

The way the T-1000 was shown in the movie, I found, was scarier than the 800. Able to mimic emotions better and just switch to cold emotionless killing, it was quite terrifying. Where as the 800 was this always cold beast of a man that you know you don't wanna mess with from the get go. I think the T-1000 was what James Cameron wanted the Terminator in the first move to be like, average and unassuming. After he got one look at Arnold, who was actually there to be Reese, he made him the Terminator instead.

The T-1000 we see in Terminator 2 is most likely fighting for Skynet and goes after Connor because he is choosing to, not because he is programmed to.. He doesn't actually have to kill John Connor if he doesn't want to. In the Sarah Connor Chronicles we are introduced to the T-1001 (Catherine Weaver) who has her own agenda..

[@007Thanos007]

I liked the fact that they had the T-1000 make subtle but unmistakable indications that it possessed emotions -momentary surprise when it encountered the metal mannequin, anger when it figured out that the T-800 tricked it about Max the dog, sadism when he tortured Sarah and tried to get her to call to John (instead of just mimicking her voice)..... ......and displaying pure, undisguised terror when it realized that it was about to fall into the vat of molten metal.

[@Elly3981]

I think that the T-1000 has the ability to mimic human emotion and expression so that it could blend in with humans and get around easier without arousing suspicion. But over time, it probably can develop genuine emotions of its own.

[@007Thanos007]

@@Elly3981 I would agree with you, but remember that he made most of those emotive expressions when he was on his own.

They do have one glitch effect in the theatrical version. After the T1000 leaves the T800 jammed in the gear, he turns around and a wave glitch travels up to the top of his head. Now this wasn't a memetic glitch, like the rail or the floor, but a glitch nonetheless.

[@elwray470]

If it glitches we can kill it

[@Skrenja]

I think it was the right choice to omit the glitch. Leaving it out keeps the feeling of hopelessness going longer for the audience. The glitch foreshadows the T-1000's downfall a little too much. When writing a story, it's always best to keep the villian in a position of power over the protagonist until the last possible moment for maximum tension.

[@10191927]

I always tried to imagine what god-level science Skynet used to create the T-1000, it makes the intelligence of Skynet really terrifying.

[@dangerbeans9639]

T-1000 was absolutely terrifying. All the Terminators that came after were just “oh cool.”

[@Elly3981]

Because none of the actors portraying them but Arnold and Robert, were as good.

[@1buddahead]

It's 2020 and Robert Patrick as the T1000 is still one of the most iconic villains in all cinema.

Robert patrick played the absolut ultimate villain of all the Terminators. He played it at the perfection.

[@Rekaert]

So many good things about this film, but just watching this brings back so many of them. I loved the way the T1000 presses through the bars, and then gets the gun stuck as if he's forgotten he's holding it. It's a great touch. Also, the strange look he gives the silver manikin . But, there's one there too which is much more subtle. Robert Patrick put in his firearm's training and worked to eliminate the 'flinch' reaction most people have when firing a gun, because a Terminator wouldn't do that. You can see it there at 4:48 perfectly. It's nuances like this that show a care for the details. So many films lack this.

[@adammullins242]

Cool fact: The first time they filmed the T1000 chasing John on his bike..he actually got him! Robert Patrick was so fast a runner!

[@briangriffiths114]

One of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time and a brilliant performance by Robert Patrick. I was so convinced of his near-indestructability that I kept expecting the character he subsequently played in the Sporanos to terminate Tony.

[@nightcat23]

T-1000 was cold as ice 🧊 Robert Patrick did such a good job.

[@nazoj6462]

More terminator please ive waited a long time for this

[@mackin26]

One thing the post T2 films lacked was a decent soundtrack. The music added so much to the films.

[@whirl3690]

The music is especially good in the first movie. In the background of the chase scenes, the music that played would be comprised of various metallic clanging noises and it made the scenes very intense.

[@daringspino3446]

The scary thing about T-1000 is that unlike all the other terminators (even that damn T-3000), is that it can perfectly blend in the environments, which makes it absolutely perfect for stealth operations. Hell if it wants it can just sneak into the human's resistence base and kill John Connor without anyone noticing.

[@Elly3981]

That kinda makes you wonder why Skynet didn't order the T-1000 to do just that instead of going back into the past to kill John as a child.

[@madhavbharadwaj8697]

Robert Patrick was born to play T1000 no other villain in the other Terminator movies were half as terrifying as he was.

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

When the T-1000 starts to uncontrollably mimic it's surrounding in the foundry it is a defense mechanism. In the expanded canon it is stated the when the T-1000 is damaged so thoroughly that it needs an extended amount of time to recover it will camouflage. This is to go unnoticed while it's nano-particles fix itself. Because the main directive of the T-1000 is the termination of John Connor it ignores it's need to heal because it is so close to finishing its mission.

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

@Meta Man In this situation yes. Because John Connor is so close it ignores it's directive to hide and repair itself. Say the T-1000 didn't know where Connor was it probably would've taken the time to heal and then proceeded with its mission.

[@McobraR]

Just a correction, T1000 is actually heavier than the T800. Theres an interview with Robert Patrick where he states how James Cameron would describe the character whilst its fighting arnold. I think it was mentioned to be stronger also!

[@littlebigcomrade]

The scenes of the T-1000 glitching are incredibly creepy. It’s amazing that someone was creative enough to think about that.

[@yovani001]

I came here to see something better than dark fate.

[@pvzey9402]

[@kingliukang4life895]

Say what you want people but i think i the T-1000 is amongst the most iconic terrifying movie villains not the stupid OP useless T-X (useless because a T-850 seemed more powerful). Also nice vid.👍

[@venveng]

T-X was designed to combat fellow terminators, T-1000 are for infiltration.

[@DarknessIsThePath]

Lmao the T-850 didn't seem more powerful at all, she didn't care at all when they were fighting because the T-850 cannot do shit against her 1v1 combat, that's why she was jus tpushing him off like a ragdoll. And she was focused on John Connor almost the whole time

[@globalautobahn1132]

One thing I noted in this great movie, is that we never see the world through the T-1000’s computer visual. Only the T-800. Would have been interesting to see.

[@torvamessorem6686]

James Cameron is such a goddamn genius that even my mom likes his movies, and she generally despises sci-fi movies. I showed her Terminator 2, Aliens, and Avatar. Then she thought: "maybe I actually like sci-fi movies after all." She went on to watch other sci-fi movies and quickly came to realize nothing comes close to the quality of James Cameron.

This movie is brilliant, even after so many years! Also, T-1000 is probably the most terrifying movie villain I've ever known tbh

[@24KGoldbackGorilla]

They did so many amazing things in this movie. From the gloomy lighting in the psych ward to the lighting in Johns foster parents home, reminded me of my old childhood home. The mall arcade scene and scenes outside totally remind me of the LA atmosphere (obviously it was filmed there so). But even the scenery that takes place in Mexico looks like somewhere you'd find near a small rancho in the country. I remember watching this at a drive-in theater, it was a double feature showing with Congo.

T1000 is the scariest villain and a nightmare for the 90's kids... freaking legend...

[@brettcooper3893]

I've heard that Skynet never mass produced the T-1000 because it basically became afraid of it. I don't think that hand-scanning scene is in my extended director's cut.

[@Elly3981]

Unlike other Terminators, the T-1000 has more of a mind and will of its own. And its not as controllable.

[@masamune2984]

The attention to detail in this film is phenomenal. The fact that they got an actual T-1000 from the future to play the villain is simply incredible.

[@aussiefarang8336]

The first time I saw this movie it blew me away. How terrifying the T1000 was and what an incredible imagination the writers and directors of this movie had. Still one of the best.
