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.
