20 years ago today, one of the biggest movies and most anticipated sequels in history was released. A movie that two decades later has still stood the test of time and always will. A movie that redefined and reshaped the movie industry as we know it and ushered in special effects that for the time were revolutionary and cutting-edge. A movie that was not only a sequel to an already classic movie, but was equal to the original's quality. This movie is of course none other than Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Here's the thread to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this landmark movie. Share your T2 memories here. I know for sure later I'll be watching it to celebrate the release.
I was 4 at the time when it was released and couldn't obviously see it in the theaters sadly, but I do recall seeing it for the very first time when it premiered on Pay Per View later in 1991 and when we got the VHS, I watched it non-stop. Like so many of my generation at the time, it was a movie that immediately was an instant favorite and one that was rewatched countless times. It was among the movies that inspired me to want to make my own and want to pursue a career in the industry someday and a movie that ignited so much creativity. It's a movie that still holds up for me and never gets old. I admit now I prefer the original Terminator by a fair margin, but T2 is still an amazing movie and still one of my all-time favorites. It's a movie for me that always works on so many different levels. I'm pretty upset it didn't get a theatrical re-release this year to celebrate the occasion, this is a movie I know countless of my generation and even before mine would love to see on the big screen.
