It’s a rare thing in Hollywood for a sequel to come close to, or even end up being better than, the original, but James Cameron effortlessly managed that feat with 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The film sees Arnold Schwarzenegger return as the sinister Terminator android, but this time around his intentions are much more heroic. If you’ve been itching to watch this movie on the big screen in as immersive an experience as possible, Cameron and co. have cooked up a re-release of the movie in his new favorite medium: 3-D.

“The images feel more real in 3-D,” Cameron says in the new trailer, posted today by Entertainment Weekly. “There’s a lucidity to it, and you really feel like you’re there.” The Terminator movies’ gorgeous practical effects were lauded in their day, and they still hold up wonderfully even in the modern CGI era. And I’ll bet the 3-D version of this movie looks superb, if Cameron has anything to do with it. He’s already fiddling with glasses-free 3-D for the next batch of Avatar movies.

It has been 10 years since the events of Terminator. Sarah Connor’s ordeal is only just beginning as she struggles to protect her son John, the future leader of the human resistance against the machines, from a new Terminator, sent back in time to eliminate John Connor while he’s still a child.

Sarah and John don’t have to face this terrifying threat alone however. The human resistance have managed to send them an ally, a warrior from the future ordered to protect John Connor at any cost.
