T2: Judgement Day - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

A rare thing- a sequel that lives up to the original. This time Arnie plays the good guy, Edward Furlong the young leader of the resistance, Linda Hamilton returns as the obsessed Sarah Conner, and Robert Patrick excels as the T-1000.

SYNOPSIS:

In the year 2029, a computer called Skynet is fighting against a human resistance, after having nearly destroyed the rest of humanity in 1997. Skynet has found a way to send a Terminator back in time. This is the story of the Terminator sent to kill the resistance leader in 1994, while he is still a child. The resistance sends a reprogrammed Terminator back to 1994 to protect the young man. The question is, can they survive against the new prototype liquid metal Terminator while preventing the creation of Skynet?

This film obviously couldn't exist without the original, but it is much better in a lot of ways:

i) The special effects - because they had improved and a bigger budget was available.
ii) A much more satisfactory ending.
iii) A real moral dilemma for the creator of the new microprocessor.
iv) A better villain - Edward Furlong is much more frightening, he's not just powerful, he's invincible!
v) Clever to make Arnie the good-guy.

umm Edward Furlong is the kid, you mean Robert Patrick

And yes he is very good as the bad guy... the fight scenes with him and Arnie are very good, like in the back hall of the arcade...

DOH! Sorry, I meant Robert Patrick.

I DO know that as he's in the X Files now.
