Critics Consensus

T2 features thrilling action sequences and eye-popping visual effects, but what takes this sci-fi/ action landmark to the next level is the depth of the human (and cyborg) characters.

This time Mr. Heavy Metal is on the side of the good guys. Naturally, he isn't quite as much fun.

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

Twenty-six years later, T2 has lost none of its thrilling power, feminist ferocity, and ominous foreboding-and seen on a big screen, it still puts most of its modern Hollywood progeny to shame.

Chicago Sun-Times

Even though this movie was made nearly 30 years ago, almost nothing about it feels dated.

Rated: 4/4

There is not a single rift under its metal shell and, after so many years, it still retains the groundbreaking spirit with the science fiction journey of the machine that learns the value of human empathy. [Full review in Spanish]
