The follow-up to James Cameron's time-travelling-robot-assassin actioner works - - unlike a lot of sequels - - thanks to some savvy decisions. Recasting Arnie as the good-cyborg was a smart movie, but smarter still was turning Sarah Connor into a loony gun-nut, and giving the part of the T-1000 to creepy-looking Robert Patrick. An enduringly entertaining blockbuster.
DVD Extras:
The Making Of T2, T2: More Than Meets The Eye and The Making Of T2: 3D featurettes, cast and crew commentary, video data archives, trailers, storyboards, screenplay, deleted scenes (as an Easter Egg: just enter 82997 on the main menu).With its superbly animated, multi-layered menus and extensive video and data archives, it could take weeks to get through everything on this double-disc cybertreat. Highlights are More Than Meets The Eye, which explores the differences between the theatrical version and the Special Edition (sadly only the latter cut appears on this disc), and the 26-person commentary, expertly edited together from interviews with most of the cast and crew. This is one of the most densely packed discs to hit the British market and it demands your ownership - - now.
