So, yeah, I've watched this film in part or in whole perhaps 15 or 20 times, and it STILL manages to capture my attention every time. Everyone involved (Schwarzenegger, Cameron, Hamilton, Furlong, Patrick, Morton) was at the top of their game at the time, and I just watched the Blu Ray version of the film, and the SFX STILL hold up (except for some obvious stunt doubles). I especially like how you can either watch T1 for more back story, or if you're the casual viewer, this one stands on its own and offers a cohesive and entertaining story. If you haven't seen this yet, I would highly suggest getting out from the rock under which you live and viewing not only this film, but the first film for more robust viewing experience.
