Cult Classic. Science Fiction's Greatest Moment of Glory

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2013)

Terminator 2 continues on the great universe that was created by Cameron on the first film with a thrilling and visual experience from start to finish. The effects are great, and the story is very well written.
The action scenes are spectacular, Schwarzenegger is great as the mechanical and protective figure in this film but takes a eerily father-like figure for the young leader of the human resistance. Linda Hamilton as a paranoid, prepared and warrior-like mother of the future is fantastic.
The only reason why I reviewed it 9/10 instead of the perfect 10 is simply because I prefer the first Terminator over this one. Sadly, the thrilling, menacing and dark feel of the previous title has been reduced in this one for a more Hollywood "blockbuster" theme. Don't get me wrong, its still well within the Terminator universe (unlike Terminator Salvation) it's simply different than the gritty sci-fi action almost horror that was the first Terminator which I personally prefer.
A great movie nevertheless, if you haven't watched it... Please do. One of the best films of the 90's undoubtedly.
