Terminator 2


One of the few movies that can still hold up after 20 years is Terminator 2. The film came out in 1991 and is directed by James Cameron. It is the sequel to the 1984 science fiction film, The Terminator. Terminator 2 stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong and Robert Patrick.

The film takes place eleven years after the first film. Two Terminators are sent back in time. One is sent to kill a young boy who is destined to lead a human resistance army against artificial intelligence machines in the future. The other Terminator is sent back to protect the boy.

Even though the film is over 20 years old, the special effects were so advanced for the time that they still hold up well. The movie has a lot of great action scenes, but it also has a well written script. The film is very character driven and has very deep impacting dialogue. It questions whether a machine could ever be human. It does have a lot of violence but it is well done. This film is up there in my favorite films list.
