Not only that you don't know how to stop him. Robert Patrick's performance is flawless, to be honest I found him a million times more terrifying than Arnold in the first Terminator, because Robert looks like this normal average guy, but he's not like Arnold where he gets shot and you can clearly see he's a terminator, Robert goes back to human looking and won't stop. This is the film that made you believe in "liquid metal" machines. Terminator 2 like the first Terminator film has memorable lines, moments, and incredible effects. Normally when people tell you about a sequel that was better than the original or just as good, Terminator 2 is always guaranteed to be in their list why? Because this is THE action movie of all action movies, next to Die Hard, this is the movie that isn't just about the action as well, but has an incredible story and message behind it that will always stay with you. Unfortunately, the inspiration seems to have left this series with Cameron. If it's good enough, they'll find a way to see it! 10 of 10 stars. And this film was rated R! And it still made a fortune! That just proves if you make a good product, you don't have to dumb it down or tame it for the kiddies. Just watching a bit of it on Bravo the other night reminded me why I saw it so many times in the theater. I could go on forever pointing out good qualities of this film. And guns run out of ammunition and need to be re-loaded at appropriate times. Cameron also made sure his entire cast was proficient with the weapons they were going to fire in the movie. We know who is shooting at who, and how far apart they are from each other. The action sequences are perfectly blocked and the spacing between hostile parties is easy for the audience to figure out. You see everything clearly that you need to see. Here the photography is crisp and detailed. First of all, you don't need shaky camera movements to sell to your audience that there is an exciting or crucial scene happening. But directors looking at making action films should take note of other strengths found in the construction of T2. Director James Cameron really sold these stunts in terms of how he filmed them. Most of the stunts in T2 were live action and extraordinarily filmed using all types of vehicles and explosives. Now, there is too much done with computers, and stunts don't seem so wonderful if you know it was all done on a computer. Though technology to create such things is now infinitely more available, this has led to problems in my book. The CGI used to create this new T-1000 terminator was jaw-dropping at the time this was released. This time Arnold is the good guy (as per Schwarzenegger's request) and he's up against a lethal and much more advanced prototype sent to off the kid. The story of course deals with Arnold returning from the future to protect a boy who will some day lead the human resistance against a world run by machines. Looking back at T2, one may find the action films of today sorely lacking in comparison. So they come up with all of these PG-13 action films that are often mere meditations of comic books, toys, or old TV shows. I guess studios these days feel that kids need something to see while resting their fingers after long days of playing their Nintendos/Playstations/whatever. In fact there is one coming out soon that appears to be both. Nowadays, it can be hard to distinguish an action film from a video game. Normally priced at $39, Timeator 2 is now only $23.99 on a lifetime license covering two Macs.And yes, I'd consider this more of an action film than Sci/fi since it takes place in contemporary times and locations. You also have a range of great export options, and the ability to count billable hours. The app works offline, and you can sync your data via iCloud when you reconnect. Rated at 4.5 stars on Setapp, Timemator 2 lets you view a visual breakdown of how you spent your day. Whenever you next open that app, Timemator 2 will start recording time in the background. This could mean assigning time spent in Photoshop to “design work” and so on. To automate the process completely, you can also set up rules. At the end of the day, you simply assign each block of time to a particular project. This smart app detects which apps you are using and for how long. With Timemator 2, you never have to think about time tracking again. Ironically, this means you actually waste time to track your productivity - and that’s if you remember to hit the button. With most time-tracking apps, you have to click “record” at the beginning of every new work session.
