Review:
The Terminator, one of the most memorable sci-fi masterpieces ever made.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day, one of the memorable sequels ever made and like it's predecessor it's a sci-fi masterpiece.
With a higher budget and with more special effects Writer/Director James Cameron took his low budget sci-fi classic and turned it into a big budget Hollywood blockbuster with his 1991 box office smash sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
The film features some of the best special effects for the 90's and I must say even though CGI has been improved the effects in this movie still look impressive just like with James Cameron's other movie The Abyss.
The music in this movie is truly beautiful, it's compelling, saddening and exciting. The final scene of the movie is a great example of how powerful the soundtrack for this movie really is.
The acting is alright, Arnold Schwarzenegger does a great job as the New Terminator unit, Linda Hamilton does a good performance as Sarah Connor. It's interesting to see how different her character has become over the years. Edward Ferlong is alright has John Connor and Robert Patrick is definitely convincing as the deadly T-1000.
The action is entertaining and will satisfy any violence lover.
Plot:
11 years after the events of The Terminator, SkyNet send a newer and more dangerous Terminator into the Past, this time to murder the leader of the human resistance, John Connor while he's still a child.
The Human Resistance fight back by sending their own Soldier back in time to protect the young John Connor, however this time it's not a human but another Terminator.
After escaping from the T-1000, the T-101 and John Connor set off to rescue his mother Sarah who's being held in a mental hospital before the T-1000 shows up, kills her and copies her form. Showing up the T-101 and John Connor find Sarah and quickly escape as the T-1000 pursues after them.
Hiding out somewhere Sarah Connor discovers who created the SkyNet Super Computer and sets off to kill him and change history. The T-101 and John Connor arrive at the house and find Sarah, Miles and his family. Telling him about what will happen if he creates the SkyNet Computer he decides to help them get the Arm and Chip from the previous T-101 unit and dispose of them thus preventing the War between Man and Machine.
Overall:
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a great sequel that should be seen and just like The Godfather Part II and Aliens it's a prime example of how to make a great sequel.
Check this film out. 10/10
