James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgement Day

The movie I would like to work with this semester is Terminator 2. This movie is a sci-fi/action that will keep you entertained for over two hours. This is a sequel to The Terminator, obviously. I just think that this is better, although the continued storyline from the first one I think is amazing. Not only is it my favorite movie of all time, but it does include some of the six methods of film. This film is important to film history in the sense that it was a breakthrough for special effects in film for generations to come (keep in mind that this movie was made in 1991). The special effects seen in this movie had not yet been witnessed in any other previous films. It also won oscars in sound effects editing, visual effects, makeup, and sound.
The link provides a bit of a storyline and some past reviews about the movie.

Blade Runner: Are you a replicant?




Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) is the story of Detective Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) who is on the hunt for escaped super human robots called replicants. As he searches for them in 2019 LA he falls in love with a replicant named Rachael, hindering his ability to "retire" the vengeful replican convicts.



Scott's earlier films Alien, Legend, Blade Runner all present the same type of feel. There is almost a sense of unity among the stories even though they all apply to different genres. The special effects in Blade Runner are fantastic and exciting and help to only back up the meaningful plot and impressive acting.

The clip I've included gives a representation of the amazing special effects in this film.
