TERMINATOR 2 : JUDGEMENT DAY (1991) is a rare case - a sequel that is better than the original . Seven years had elapsed between the first movie and this , during which the SFX quality had greatly advanced . This movie follows the principle of 'the more the merrier' to rise above its predecessor and succeeds . It has more action , better special effects and more humour complimented by a thumping soundtrack . I also prefer Arnold The Saviour more than Arnold The Assassin .

It's been 11 years since a cyborg nicknamed 'Terminator' was sent back in time (from 2029 A.D. to 1984 A.D. to be exact) to kill John Connor , the future leader of The Human Resistance . Now it is 1995 A.D. John Connor (Edward Furlong) is 10 years old and likes to freak out on a bike and hack others' ATM accounts . His mother Sarah (Linda Hamilton) is locked in a state mental asylum for having "delusions" about a nuclear holocaust in future .

Now another cyborg named 'T-1000' (Robert Patrick) made up of liquid metal and more powerful than the last is sent back in time to assassinate John Connor . The Human Resistance responds by sending a Terminator (Arnold Scwarzeneggar) back in time to protect John . The stage is set for showdown .

Technically the movie is a marvel . Cinematography (Adam Greenberg) is excellent using lots of sepia and blue-black shades . Make-up effects (Stan Winston) and SFX are awesome .

Schwarzeneggar is great as the poker-faced saviour cyborg . Edward Furlong makes a sparkling debut . Watch out for the buddy bonding between him and Schwarzeneggar...they are funny . Robert Patrick as T-1000 is scary as hell and has almost no lines to deliver .

The movie also has a few lines from the first like " I'll be back " and " Come with me if you want to live " . These lines are repeated in T3 .

My friend once said that Terminator movies are "true Hollywood"

CAST AWAY:Robert Zemeckis has his 4th best film here (behind Forrest Gump, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Back to the Future) with Cast Away. Sure it might be overhyped and some characters in the film aren't needed (not to mention it depends on the liking of the lead), but when you have Tom Hanks working harder than any actor in a movie this year, it is worth it.The story follows Hanks as a dedicated fed-ex deliverer who has a fiance (Helen Hunt) and has to leave her Christmas time to go to Asia, but alas, the plane he's on crashes in the water and, dare I say more (well I can because practically everyone saw the all-revealing trailers)? Well, Hanks arrives on a deserted island and then the real fun begins as he survives in a primitive way (probably remenicent of 2001, Hanks' favorite film), and even finds a silent companion named Wilson (a volleyball). That Hanks can communicate with this volleyball, and almost make the ball as a real person with real feelings that is almost like the Silent Bob to his Jay, is one of the films triumphs. The others of course being the whole lot of him on the island and Hanks' performance. If it was someone else, it would not be as successful, but Hanks gives his all and (as usual) pulls through 5 fold delivering one of the years and his best performances.
