This kind of came up on a twitter feed I was looking at where people were heralding T2 as being the last good "non-cg" movie. Despite the fact it was groundbreaking with the melting terminator and his reflecting morphing. It got me thinking also about how revolutionary the face morphing in Michael Jackson's Black & White video clip was at the time as well. It made the news for being groundbreaking, and extremely expensive to do.
No I can download a free app for a device in pocket that does the same thing, but better.

I think it's amazing how much technology had advanced, but often think about the things my grandparents must have seen as well. Born in the 1910s, they must have seen some amazing advancements too.

I think Beast wars (Season 2 onwards) looks pretty good even today.
