Arnie's back

Rating: 6/10 (10 April 2004)

I always tend to avoid reviews prior to watching films and this really payed off with T2. The opening sequence is very much more dramatic when you have only seen the first film and don't know anything at all about the second film.
It's about 10 years after the first film and John Connor (Furlong) is a young boy living with foster parents. Sarah (Hamilton) is in a mental institution as she struggles to come to terms with her knowledge of the future. This time we have two terminators sent back in time representing the machines and the resistance. Technology has moved on and whilst this was groundbreaking in it's time it now looks slightly dated. The directors cut special edition doesn't really add too much to the thatrical release and makes it seem slightly slow at times.
Hamilton takes the acting awards with a good performance as Sarah. 8/10
