T2 bridged the gap. Yes, it was groundbreaking for its use of computers, but it still predomentantly is a conventional 1980s blockbuster filled with animatronic puppets, large and small scale set building, real fire and explosions, and extensive movie make-up and prostestics. Just watch the difference between T2 and T3 to see what happens when the exact same concept switches from actual movie magic more towards computer magic. T2 used CGI to enhance more conventional special effects. Yes, they were groundbreaking, but it was still 1991 and there was only so much they could do. Keep in mind that they built dozens of puppets, used endless make-up, crashed half a dozen cars including big rigs, blew up an actual building....
For the LA nuclear blast they constructed an ACTUAL model of the city and blew it up, not a computer... For the T-1000 melting scene they used mercury..
CGI accounts for only FIVE minutes of that 120 minute movie......
THAT is what I miss. Today movies don't use puppets or even build sets, they just overly rely on green screen magic and its making film look too much like video games.
