    What is amazing, is what they pulled off with what they had in 1986. And the movie is still excellent in 2024. That is amazing.
    I always wondered why they used old computers. Not very powerful. But, if you think of it, those computers in the movie would be workstations only made for one purpose. Thus, although it looks simple the interface, it makes sense for what it is supposed to do. In turn... even with our new tech... it still remains viable for the situation.

    Great reaction! You caught my attention in the very beginning when you realize practical effects are superior to CGI. I'm glad you understand that and appreciate that because I thought the same thing over the last few decades. when you see movies like Star wars The original from 1977 and you see the very beginning where The Star destroyer spaceship hovering your over your head , it looks incredible when they use models and the details of the ship. All these movies today over the last 10 to 20 years look fake....they look like video games and give me a headache because they use explosions to try to make up for the bad plot and bad effects. I don't mind CGI if it's used sparingly and only when it's necessary but most movies don't look as real as really good quality movies from the 1970s '80s and even '90s with Terminator 2.

This, The Terminator and Blade Runner are the GOATS of sci Fi). There were so many great movies from the 70s, 80s and 90s that still hold up till this day. Cant wait until you see "Alien"!

    -Conan the Barbarian
