James Cameron's name is back on top thanks to the recent release of Avatar, which is said to break new ground in cinematic technology, as well as showcasing his trademark excellent story telling. Cameron made his name years ago with movies like Aliens but Terminator 2 is the one that really made it known that he was capable of making some of the greatest movies of all time. If you, for some reason, haven't seen it yet, or just haven't seen it in awhile, go ahead and watch T2 the next time you want to download movies.
T2 is remembered as a major stepping stone for the technology of special effects, alongside Jurassic Park, but people forget that the special effects were not the point of the film, that the effects were there to help the story, not the other way around. Cameron makes great steps in terms of special effects, but the effects are always, always there to serve the story, and not for their own sake.
If you haven't seen it yet, then... You must have been frozen in ice in the year 1991. Hello! Welcome to the 21st Century! No flying cars yet, sorry, but at least you can download movies online, so you have no excuse not to catch up on the classics of the last twenty years. If you're wondering what Terminator 2 is about, remember Terminator 1? Okay now imagine that the Terminator is back here to protect Sarah Connor's son this time from a liquid metal Terminator who wants to kill him. There, now you're caught up.
Terminator 2 made some incredible steps forward in special effects, starting with the T-1000, the liquid metal terminator sent back to finish off John Connor. This movie was made back in the early nineties, and you won't be able to tell that these effects are out of date. It's really incredible how they used innovation and artistry to make up for somewhat lacking technology (of course, a lot of new technology was developed specifically for this movie...).
There's a purity to this movie. The first Terminator was maybe a little too in love with its heady, high sci-fi concept. This one stays focused on the action and on the characters, not on the twisty turny plot line. James Cameron always focuses on what's important, not effects, not plot, but on character, and sometimes on hardcore action scenes.
Hopefully, you've seen this movie by now. In fact, it'd be sort of strange if you hadn't. But, if you haven't, don't you think it's high time you do? If you have internet under that rock where you're living, you've got no excuse not to watch this movie already.
Seriously, watch it again. The movie actually does have some layers of depth and emotional complexity, so each time you watch it, you watch it from a new perspective based on where you are in life, what you've experienced in the years since you've seen it last. It really is one of those all time great classics where it feels like a better and better film the older you get.
Bottom line, it's an all time American classic, and you need to see it. Either for the first time, or for the hundredth, it's always a good time to watch Terminator 2.
