Terminator 2 has aged so well. Even my son who is Gen Alpha is incredibly impressed with the movie. We are both very much looking to this game as well!


Great practical effects always age well. It’s unfortunate few producers are willing to pay for them.


> practical effects

My favourite piece of movie trivia: Terminator 2 had the biggest CGI budget of any movie to that date, but some of the scenes that most obviously needed CGI - where the T-1000 shape shifts into the body of an actor who is already in the same scene - were solved by casting actors who had identical twins.

Hah no way. I thought those scenes were CGI, overlaying 2 videos, of some sort.


Yeah but Terminator 2's most memorable effects were famously CGI


Flying a helicopter under a bridge was practical.
