    It’s just astoundingly well-made if one ponders the details. The semi truck looks unmistakably menacing straight from its appearance from the overpass. T1000 famously runs like a robot rather than a human.

      Yeah, definitely. And this particular scene where Sarah is dreaming of the nuclear blast is forever seared into my memory. It starts off normal(ish) but it quickly becomes apparent that something is very, very wrong. Then, in an instant, just complete destruction… everywhere.

      As a kid who grew up on the East Coast, on a major military base during the tail end of the Cold War, this scene really messed with me.

        That’s T800. The T1000 might actually blink in the film — perhaps to better blend with humans when not running.

          Well, the T-800 (Schwarzenegger) was never seen blinking because he (almost) always had shades on. The T-1000 never blinked because the actor Robert Patrick spent weeks practicing shooting without blinking.
