MOTHER’S DAY SCREENING
Overview
It’s 1995, and two more cyborg assassins zap to Los Angeles from the hellish future of 2029. One, the T-1000 (Robert Patrick) is an advanced, seemingly indestructible, shapeshifting, liquid metal android tasked with killing John Connor, the man who will lead the human resistance from the brink of extinction in the war to come against the hostile artificial intelligence Skynet. Right now, he’s just a reckless kid with a knack of computers whose mum, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), is confined to a mental hospital for her violent efforts to prevent the prophesied ‘Judgment Day’, the day Skynet will nuke most of the world. The other Terminator is a T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sent by the human resistance to protect John at all costs.
Why You Should See This Film
One of the all time great sequels, Terminator 2 revisits its predecessor’s formula with an exhilarating freshness, trading the grim cyber-slasher tone for a no holds barred action thriller with a strong beating heart beneath its metallic sheen. Boasting spectacular visual effects, an absolutely iconic cast, and too many quotable lines to list, James Cameron’s celebrated blockbuster remains special to us for so many reasons but something that particularly strikes us is its struggle with hope in the face of a doomed future and the central bond between its odd family of mum, son, robot which still pulls at our heartstrings.
