Review: Terminator 2

An outing for the UHD of this, and contrary to established opinion I thought it looked quite stunning on our projector. The bad news, however, is that only the theatrical edition is on offer in 4K.

I have such a long history with this film that it's hard to be truly objective (I can even remember seeing it at a special preview one summer afternoon at the local cinema).   To my eyes, it remains one of the best action movies of certainly the 90s, if not all time.

Schwarzenegger was born for this part. Furlong makes a good foil, while Hamilton's transformation from unambitious waitress to driven combatant remains astounding.

Verdict: Perhaps the definitive action movie.
