James Cameron is Unbeatable

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2010)

The concept and visual work in and of itself makes this a masterpiece and a piece of history forever immortalized in record. All credit MUST be due to James Cameron because he is a groundbreaking and genius filmmaker. AND this was the highest budgeted movie to date...as we continue to look back at JC's record, he tends to demand these outlandish requirements and backing and yet always pulls it off. Since I have recently seen Avatar (also created by the master), I was fortunate enough to read an article that stated, in short, that Cameron spent the better part of 2 months in a hotel across from the Twentieth Century Fox lot in preparation for the Avatar opening and that Fox basically just handed him the keys as he was there day and night in genius mode. This brings to mind Leonardo DiCaprio's depiction of Howard Hughes when he was making Hell's Angels.
Arnold was perfectly cast as a machine as no one was interested in his acting ability (none really required here) but he was the perfect action star at the time. In addition, we have some of the most groundbreaking explosions, visual effects, effects make-up, and adrenaline pumping action sequences recorded on film to date. PLUS, for all those who don't appreciate any of the technical aspects and major sacrifices that go into the making of a film, it was just plain hardcore fun and entertainment.
