Synopsis: Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Synopis: A decade after Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) destroyed the original Terminator, a second unstoppable killing machine (Arnold Schwarzenegger) arrives from the post-apocalyptic year 2029. But this time his mission is to stop an even deadlier Terminator, the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), made entirely of shape-shifting liquid metal and determined to kill young John Connor (Edward Furlong), the future leader of the human resistance. Sarah, John, and the Terminator counter by going after the scientist responsible for developing Skynet, the computer system fated to destroy humanity, leading to an explosive and spectacular clash with the fate of humanity in the balance. Whereas James Cameron's original THE TERMINATOR was a low-budget marvel of efficiency and speed, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY is an action-packed blockbuster with some of the most amazing stunts ever filmed and ground-breaking, Academy Award-winning special effects. Star Schwarzenegger was paid in the form of a $15 million dollar jet to revisit his most famous role as the Terminator, this time made kinder and gentler against the silent, relentless T-1000. One of the most popular films of the 1990s, James Cameron's action masterpiece is both a thoughtful look at violence in human nature and an exciting, nonstop thrill ride.Features: Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

Pros: Action, Special Effects
Cons: None
As sequels go, the wait until 1991 for a follow-up to James Cameron's 1984 film "The Terminator" was a long one. An incredible hype machine built up around the release, and for once audiences were not left disappointed with a sci-fi action flick that delivers the relentless excitement it promised.
At its most basic, "T2" is a big budget remake of the original film - a chase movie with Sarah Connor (Hamilton) being pursued by a Terminator sent back in time to kill both her and her son, who will lead the rebellion against Skynet. The neat twist is that Connor's son, John (Furlong), has sent back a re-programmed friendly T-800 terminator (Schwarzenegger) from the future, to stop the evil T-1000 terminator (Patrick) from killing the young John and his mother.
The other key difference in this sequel is that Arnie's no longer playing the bad terminator. He's now T-800 - the lumbering underdog to the far cooler and more deadly liquid metal shape-shifting T-1000.
With a massive budget at his disposal, writer/director James Cameron exploited this battle of the cyborgs to the max with a new standard of special effects, but he didn't swamp the film with them. They enhance the movie by introducing dangerous threats to the survival of the heroes, while retaining the all-important physical essence of the fear of the chase that made the first film so exciting. Five stars all round. ...
