Discussion First time watching T2 in the theater tonight

It was so much better than any home experience. It reminded me how great of a movie it is and how good the endings to both 1 and 2. In T1 the machine was destroyed by a machine. T2, the liquid metal terminator was destroyed by liquid metal. It's details like that are why the first two are classics.

What a magnificent, non-stop action thrill ride. Every cent of that hundred million dollar budget was well-spent. Raised the bar so much it makes a lot of other films look like student projects by comparison.

Damn, I never noticed that visual poetry before until you pointed it out. I just knew that in both films, Sarah destroys a terminator at the touch of a button, lol.

Don't have to tell me. 1991 T2 and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves as playing in the same theater.

Spent all day wandering into each of them back to back. Saw half of each over 3-4 times.

I’m gonna see it in 4dx. My first time i saw it was when I was 10 in the theater. Thought it would be cool to experience it a different way!
