Today, taking a break from my normal routine(i dont have one) i'm going to review one of the arguably best sci-fi/action movies of all time. James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgement Day. For any of you unfamiliar with the premise of the Terminator franchise, or at least the first two (good ones) is that on August 29, 1997 artificial intelligence "Skynet" becomes self awares and wipes out 3 billion people via. nuclear weapons. The human resistance is led by John Conner who leads the war against the machines, and the machines need to get rid of him. So then they send back in time the T-800, Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger whatever, to kill Sarah Conner in the 70s, no Sarah Conner = No John Conner. *Minor Spoiler Alert- They failed pretty much, so in the 80s they send another terminator back into the 80s to kill young John Conner. Forgot to mention, when they originally sent back the first terminator, future John Conner sends back Kyle Reese to protect Sarah, in T2 he sends the original terminator reprogrammed to stop the other terminator.
Whew~ Mouthful. So yeah, along with that basic premise, the action in this movie is nonstop. When you have two androids from the future throwing each other through walls, getting shot in the chest, its all in good fun. Another one of the great aspects of the movie, is the T-1000. The T-1000 is completely different from the original, this one is made of liquid metal. This allows the guy to be able to shape-shift into any person, turn his hands into knives, and is nearly indestructible. If that wasn't enough of a bad combination, with his upgraded CPU system he's able to be a bit more, subtle. He talks like a person, acts like one, i know the original was all that, but he was kinda awkward and sounded like a guy-version of Siri
.
The movie is a great time, the character's are relate able, the story is amazing, and the ending is flawless. I'll say that this is the best James Cameron film i've ever seen and wont disappoint.
