James Cameron’s sequel to his breakout hit discards that film’s moody, horror-laced tone for a lavish, big budget cyborg spectacular that would set the standard for a generation. Ten years after surviving the events of The Terminator, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) teams up with her old nemesis (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to protect her son (Edward Furlong) from sinister sentient AI entity Skynet and its latest design: the ultra-lethal, virtually indestructible T-1000 (an incredible Robert Patrick). Featuring Oscar-winning makeup from Stan Winston, Schwarzenegger’s iconic performance (“Hasta la vista, baby“), one of cinema’s most memorable villains, and revolutionary CGI effects, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY is one of the best films of the 90s.
