Review...
» 2006 T2 Theatrical Version Blu-ray Review »
(from DVDTOWN staff reviewer Dean Winkelspecht)
EXCERPT: "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is a film that I enjoy a great deal. It is one of the finest blockbusters to grace the Silver Screen. The special effects and storyline still hold their own after over a decade. The decision to make Arnold a good guy character was something that did not guarantee success. After all, his portrayal of the ultimate killing machine was the basis for the success of the first movie. The liquid metal T-1000 was also a gamble that ultimately paid off. There are certainly better action movies out there to be served with your popcorn and I personally believe that Cameron's own "Aliens" is a superior film, but "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is a classic Sci-Fi Actioner that finds Arnold in his prime and it is a film that no matter how many times you watch it, it is still highly entertaining.

Film Synopsis:
I'll be back... (sequel to "The Terminator")
Skynet, the 21st century computer waging a losing war on humans sends a second terminator back in time to destroy the leader of the human resistance while he is still a boy. His mother is the only one who knows of the existence of the Terminators, human-like robots that exist only to kill and are nearly indestructible, and Sarah, the boy's mother is currently in a state mental hospital because of her 'delusions'. A second protector is sent back to the past by the Human resistance to protect John Connor, their future leader, at all costs.

Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as the Terminator in this explosive action-adventure spectacle. Now he's one of the good guys, sent back in time to protect John Connor, the boy destined to lead the freedom fighters of the future. Linda Hamilton reprises her role as Sarah Connor, John's mother, a quintessential survivor who has been institutionalized for her warning of the nuclear holocaust she knows is inevitable. Together, the threesome must find a way to stop the ultimate enemy-the T-1000, the most lethal Terminator ever created. Co-written, produced and directed by James Cameron (The Terminator, Aliens, Titanic), this visual tour de force is also a touching human story of survival.
