I watched this in the cinema in Ireland when it first came out. I was 11 years of age and I went to the 11:45pm show on my own. Sounds crazy as it was an 18's rated movie. The ticket seller and usher debated about letting me in on my own. Both agreed there was no nudity or sex scenes and came to the conclusion I was fit to watch it.

First and foremost, Cameron wanted practical and durable armor costumes, so the actors could run and roll and slam into things without it going to pieces. Once they settled the design, they gave them to each actor and some art supplies and told them to go nuts in customizing it and making it aged/worn/unique. So all the things you see written on them, the bleeding heart, the 'fly the friendly skies' on Ferro's helmet, all was done by the actors themselves.

Their armour and the ascetics of the environment really does make one believe their looking through a window to another world, rather than a Hollywood movie set with actors in costumes.

In order to do that, even way back then, you had to have a camera that would allow you 40 years later, to be able to reproduce the film footage.
