Terminator 2, a review by DragonfireSkynet, the 21st century computer waging a losing war on humans sends a second terminator back in time to destroy the leader of the human resistance while he is still a boy. His mother is the only one who knows of the existence of the Terminators, human-like robots that exist only to kill and are nearly indestructible, and Sarah, the boy's mother is currently in a state mental hospital because of her 'delusions'. A second protector is sent back to the past by the Human resistance to protect John Connor, their future leader, at all costs. My Thoughts I saw this one when it was first released in the theater - I actually won tickets to an early screening from a local radio station. Anyway, I enjoyed the movie then and I still like it. It has been a while since I last saw it, so I had forgotten a few small things. For a while I was thinking that I had forgotten whole scenes and sequences, then I remembered that my DVD had 16 or 17 extra minutes added back into the movie. Some of those minutes did help to add some explanations while others didn't seem as...important. I liked that Arnold's Terminator had been reprogrammed to protect John. The new Terminator..T-1000 I think was really cool, especially the whole liquid metal shape changing thing. Of course that made him harder to kill..but it was still cool. The action scenes were done well and helped to keep things interesting. I remember being surprised by how...buff Sarah was in this movie. It was almost like she was trying to give Arnold some competition in the muscle department. lol I watched 2 short extras on the making of the movie..the first one had lots of interesting stuff on how the effects were done. It was talked about how the liquid metal thing built on what had been done in The Abyss. There are more extras that can only be accessed through the DVD-ROM, which I haven't checked out yet. I do really like the movie. It is a very well done action movie. I've started working on a longer review to post at Epinions, but it isn't done yet.

(From L.A. Confidential on June 16th, 2010) The Flash Marathon, a review by addicted2dvdThe Flash Marathon Image: Mutated dog (German Shepard) after being injected with a secret serum. Episode 2 - Out of Control He needs subjects for genetic-engineering research - any volunteers? Tina's former colleague is the main suspect when the bodies of murdered homeless people mysteriously disappear from crime scenes. Guest Stars: Vito D'Ambrosio as Bellows Biff Manard as Murphy Mike Genovese as Lt. Warren Garfield Stan Ivar as Dr. Carl Tanner My Thoughts: A good episode... but not as good as the pilot movie. The transformations were done rather well. They definitely looked cool. Basically the story of a scientist that forgets his ethics while working on experimental gene mutations trying to cure disease. A case of someone doing the wrong thing for good reasons. But ends up getting lost on the way. My Rating: (From The Flash Marathon on April 7th, 2010) |
