The computer effects still hold up now
Ten years after Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) destroyed the original Terminator, a second unstoppable killing machine 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 wholly 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 break humanity, leading to an explosive and impressive clash with the fate of humanity in the balance.
Whereas James Cameron’s original The Terminator was a low-budget wonder of efficiency and speed, Terminator 2 blu-ray is an action-packed hit with some of the most amazing stunts ever filmed and ground-breaking, Academy prize winning computer effects. Star Schwarzenegger was paid in the form of a $15 million buck jet to revisit his most noted 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, Terminator 2 blu-ray is both a thoughtful look at violence in human nature and an exciting, nonstop thrill ride.
The special effects from this 1991 classic action flick still hold up in today’s world - especially if you buy blu-ray. T2 is a undying classic which will live on forever. Regardless of all the special effects and stunts, it’s the personality development and the nice way the 3 principal actors work together that makes the film effective.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is more comfy and warranted here than the 1st time around, reprising a role so perfectly suited to the voice and physique that have established him as a larger-than-life film persona. Terminator two : Judgment Day is an enjoyable, often exhilarating piece of filmmaking, with a devious humorous personality to boot.
