Suspense that takes advantage of the structure of the place



Cameron World explodes even in battle scenes. The structure of the base where the Alien are fought in ``Terminator 2: Judgment Day Aliens '' is very similar to the structure of the steel mill where the deadly battle with the T-1000 takes place at the end of `` Aliens''. Things like falling into a gap, or in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Schwarzenegger's T-800 appears using gears, creating a great deal of suspense that takes advantage of the structure of the place.


In terms of making use of the structure of a place, the use of elevators is also a notable commonality in Cameron's films. Ripley and Hicks (Michael Biehn) get into an elevator to escape from an Alien, the elevator door won't close, the Alien jumps on the door the moment it closes and tries to pry it open, and Hicks shoots a shotgun at the front to fight off the Alien. This can be directly replaced with the escape scene from the mental hospital in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The Alien is the T-1000, Hicks is the T-800, Ripley is Sarah Connor & John Connor, and so on.


“Terminator 2: Judgment Day 3D” preview


By the way, at the end of ``Aliens'', blue plasma is shown running through the atmospheric manufacturing factory, about to explode, and this is similar to the plasma generated when ``The Terminator'' travels back in time. In fact, it seems that the electrodes from ``The Terminator'' were reused. I see, they are similar.
