I missed the re-release to cinema screens of James Cameron’s classic in September but could not resist sitting back for a couple of hours after it appeared on iTunes.
And, even without the benefit of a big screen and thumping sound, I reckon it has passed the test of time.
Terminator set the foundations for the big blockbuster action movies which swamp our cinemas nowadays.
Of course, its minus point is that there is no great emphasis on acting (let's face it, that has never been Arnold Schwarzenegger's strong point) but its plus is the ground-breaking visual effects which cost $5 million and took 35 people, including animators, computer scientists, technicians and artists, ten months to produce, for a total of 25 man-years.
Despite this staggering length of time, the CGI sequences only amounted to five minutes of the movie's running time.
To achieve his goal, he has to fend off an artificial intelligence (Robert Patrick) which is moulded from molten metal and is, therefore, able to remodel himself even after being blown up.
Meanwhile, John insists on rescuing his mum (Linda Hamilton) from jail, delaying the escape from the determined pursuer.
Obviously, the tension has dissipated over the years and because of the number of times I have seen it but I still believe that Terminator 2 is a classic.
Reasons to watch: ground-breaking CGI and great action
Reasons to avoid: its lack of quality acting
Laughs: none
Jumps: none
Vomit: none
Nudity: none
Overall rating: 9/10
