Special effects in movies have come a long way since their inception. From the early days of practical effects and miniatures as seen in the classic 'Jason and the Argonauts' to the ground-breaking innovations of today, these technological marvels have transformed the way stories are told on the big screen. One film that undeniably pushed the boundaries and redefined movie magic with its insane special effects is James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Terminator 2 was released in 1991, and it marked a turning point in the world of special effects. The film built upon the success of its predecessor, utilizing state-of-the-art computer-generated imagery (CGI) to bring the robotic T-1000 character to life. This liquid metal villain was unlike anything audiences had seen before, appearing seamless and ever-changing, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
The morphing effect achieved through CGI was a major breakthrough in special effects.
