Terminator 2: Judgement Day. 1991.
A cyborg, identical to the one that hunted down Sarah Connor is sent to find John Connor, Sarah's son and protect him from a more advanced cyborg.
This superb sequel surpasses the excellent original in every department and quite simply a great action film. Set 15 years after the original Arnie may return as the good Terminator trying to protect John Connor but he's a redundant piece of scrap metal compared to the T-1000.
The cinematography and effects are stunning, especially the start of the film with traffic going by and kids at a play park then see the aftermath of the apocalypse and the machines rising up against the humans, but they hold up wonderfully against anything made today, even with the nuclear blast in Sarah's dream sequence looks terrifying.
Linda Hamilton returns as Sarah Connor, she acted her character perfectly here she played her character genius and very convincing and real, tough beyond all belief and completely focused on preventing the nuclear war and ensuring John's safety. We see her in a mental hospital and convinced the world would end and almost a female Rambo.
Robert Patrick plays the bad guy...or so to speak as a T-1000 who can mimic almost anything and anyone he touches, James Cameron and Stan Winston went balls out with creating this new cyborg and everyone thinking how can you kill it.
Edward Furlong plays the young John Connor in his film debut and was able to pull it off by not trusting his new protector to basically begging him not to self terminate and teaching Arnie how to smile which is a bit creepy, just a shame he went down a different path in life and didn't appear in the third installment.
