Terminator 2 3D Review: 6 Ups & 3 Downs

6. The Movie Has Aged Insanely Well

While T2 has always been held up as a prime example of a well-aged movie, that fact is no clearer than when seeing it on the big screen, presented by way of its gorgeous new 4K restoration.

The film has simply never looked this good, and there's not a single frame of the movie that couldn't be released today as a brand new production and not look insanely impressive.

Considering how badly many of the CGI-infused movies of today tend to age, it's an incredible testament to Cameron's restrained use of effects and impeccable filmmaking technique that the film rightly remains the gold standard of action movies that will stand the test of time forever more.
