Special FX

Rating: Null/10 (20 February 2002)

I've had a few people ask me which of the 2 terminator movies made are better and I believe there is no contest. When I first saw T2, I thought that it was way better than the original but as time went on and I basically grew up my opinion has completely changed.
T2 is generally all about effects and showing the audience just how advanced they have become, its kinda similar to "Independence day" which I think is better than T2 anyway. The original Terminator film is an all time classic and one of Schwarzenegger's best alongside "Predator" and "Total Recall".
The actual original idea behind "Terminator" is wrong in any case.John Connor could not have a father from the future, it is impossible. Firstly, the machines would not need to strike at Sarah in 1984 because they would have won because John Connor would not exist seeing as though his father, Kyle Reece would be also fighting in the future. Regardless of this fault, The Terminator outclasses the sequel and Arnie is perfect for the role as the seemingly indestructable cyborg. If you wanna see great effects then I recommend this movie but dont expect a great storyline because you wont get it.

Not bad. Rating 5/10.
