Terminator 2 Judgment Day

A new Terminator — the liquid-metal T-1000 — is sent back to kill teenage John Connor before he can lead humanity’s resistance. Simultaneously a reprogrammed T-800 is sent to protect him. The revolutionary liquid-metal CGI effects still astonish decades later but the film’s greatest achievement is transforming the T-800 — the implacable villain of the first film — into a surrogate father figure whose eventual fate is one of the most genuinely affecting moments in action cinema. A sequel that exceeds its predecessor in every way.
