The most timeless piece of cinema you'll ever see

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2010)

Written and directed of course by James Cameron, the 1991 sequel to The Terminator takes place eleven years on from its predecessor. In the aftermath of the 'Judgement Day' nuclear war, the self-aware computer giant Skynet initiates a paradoxical effort to once again attempt to eliminate the leader of the human resistance, John Connor.
Well where do you begin? I personally find it impossible to look at Cameron's sequel as a 'film' to critique because it's simply so much greater than the confines of the silver screen. I'm currently sat with a tepid coffee, trying my best to conjure the brilliance of this epic and even with the worlds most extensive thesaurus I'd fail to do it justice.
Casting aside the sheer admiration I have for Cameron's ability to intertwine science fiction, action and romance so poetically, it's the overwhelming character the film has to offer that I feel sets it so far above the rest. Whether it's Cameron's off-hue blue-lit depiction of LA, Brad Fiedel's tragically heart-warming score, Robert Patrick's icy demeanour, Arnie's stoical charm or the final brutally touching words of Linda Hamilton, Terminator 2 simply oozes with a unique and unmatchable style, character and timelessness.
