Variety
Arnold Schwarzenegger is more comfortable and assured here than the first time around, reprising a role so perfectly suited to the voice and physique that have established him as a larger-than-life film persona.

Terminator 2 3D: Judgment Day
Newly-converted and restored 3D version of James Cameron's ground-breaking sci-fi action sequel. In his defining role, Arnold Schwarzenegger returns, a different model of the T-800 cyborg who once tried to kill Sarah Connor. Sent from the future by humans resisting oppressive machines, he must now protect her teenage son, John Connor (Edward Furlong), from an even more powerful and advanced cyborg - the shape-shifting, metallic T-1000 (Robert Patrick).

Terminator 2 3D: Judgment Day / Reviews
The New York Times
Mr. Cameron has made a swift, exciting special-effects epic that thoroughly justifies its vast expense and greatly improves upon the first film's potent but rudimentary visual style.
Full reviewThe Guardian
Cameron has done an honourable and undoubtedly skilful job of tailoring his new film to the tastes of the times without too much sloppy compromise. He's made a science fiction film with verve, imagination and even a little wit.

Sydney Morning Herald
It proves that crackingly fast entertainment doesn't have to be mindless, and it manages to do so, with an endearingly cheeky sense of humour.

Rolling Stone
It's Cameron's show; he's the reigning king of movie pow, with dark wit and a poet's eye for mayhem. T2 cost a reported $100 million, and you can actually see where the money went.

Los Angeles Times
More elaborate than the original, but just as shrewdly put together, it cleverly combines the most successful elements of its predecessor with a number of new twists (would you believe a kinder, gentler Terminator?) to produce on e hell of a wild ride.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day was a great film when it was released 26 years ago and remains a great film today.

Empire Magazine
It's less satisfying than the more idea-driven original, but this is still top-flight kick-ass entertainment.
