TERMINATOR 2 DVD true beauty of TERMINATOR 2 is its undying loyalty and respect for its predecessor, made some eight years before. Even though there was such a gap in time, Cameron remained faithful to his original production, which translates into a seamless and believable sequel. The T-800 machine, the nemesis in the original "Terminator," returns, only this time the cyborg has been programmed to protect John Connor (Edward Furlong), now a pre-adolescent. And once again, Schwarzenegger was made for the role of the T-800: a stoic, hulking, violent killing machine, yet this time, Arnold brings a discreet sense of humor and compassion to the part. Linda Hamilton returns as Sarah Connor, young mother of John, but now she's buffed and tough and ready to fight back. And Robert Patrick is exceptional as the advanced T-1000 Model, the machine programmed to kill John--a machine so advanced it makes the T-800 look like an old Commodore PC. The action, the effects, the story, is spellbinding, but again, the subtle and not-so-subtle parallels to the original "Terminator" are what impressed me the most. Highly recommended for fans of Arnold, the Terminator, and Science Fiction movies. Gunner II January, 2008
