Animal Planet show ended and after wandering the numerous street sets for another 20 minutes I finally got to Cyberdine Systems building (yes, that’s right!), where the Terminator 2 3D show was just about to start. I was not quite sure what to expect. It turned out to be quite a show, starting with the “Cyberdine Systems PR Directorâ€, greeting the public with the phony presentation about the rosy future ensured by all these glorious machines from Cyberdine (like we don’t know how that’s ended!). Her presentation is interrupted by Sarah and John, who are creating havoc in the room, when finally the Terminator appears to take John into the future to blow away the heart of Cyberdine and remove the threat of machines once and for all (the guy might be dressed like the Governator, but he’s certainly no Schwarzenegger – good thing too that his part is very small and the real 3D movie with real Arnie starts pretty much right away…). 3D part was a real fun, I could watch some more, but it was only a few minutes long – all the good things have to end some time…
The show actually reminded me of how much I’ve enjoyed the Terminator 2 when it came out. I think, by that time the public (or I, at least!) was ready to accept Schwarzenegger as a good guy as opposed to the times of the first Terminator movie and on top of that the sequel had become a ground-breaking film in the digital technology. Of course now, 15 years later, a morphing blob of the liquid metal is nothing new, but at the time it was breathtaking to see those scenes. The 3D movie actually has a spider-like creature, which is getting right up to your face and THAT was quite frightening for a moment or two due to complete holographic reality of this thing’s tentacle extending almost right into your eye! I have watched a featurette on the making of the Terminator 2 on a DVD I own and at one point they are taking an interview with Peter Jackson (that famous “The Lord of the Rings†director…) who is saying that before the T2 a director could only dream about things the development of the digital technology in making the T2 has made possible.

Invigorated by the mighty action of T2, I felt very much in the mood for Shrek 4D experience and even the line to the show and a 15 minutes wait did not shake my resolve. I thought the idea of having Lord Farquaad to reappear as a ghost was fantastic – it was a shame, really, that such a fabulous villain got swallowed by the Dragon in the end of the first “Shrek†– though it served him right! The short 3D movie was great – with added special effects, like splashing the water on the spectators or shaking their chairs, which almost made you feel like you are part of the action in the movie. You guessed right and Lord Farquaad lost again, the villains never have a chance in the movies! Still, it was a great fun to watch!
