The film is book-ended by solid action in the first and third act but the second act is crammed with exposition that you almost forget they’re being chased by the T-1000. The T-800 definitely knows how to help people escape as he easily dispatches the orderlies at the hospital in order to save Sarah and it leads to another spectacular chase scene. The scene then moves to John as he tries to escape down the Los Angeles canals as the T-800 intervenes and saves him once again. The hallway scene where we meet the Terminators is also among one of the best in the film as the T-800 and the T-1000 converge and we figure out who is the villain and who is the protector. The camera work is some of the best seen in the genre particularly during the freeway chase when the T-1000 has commandeered a helicopter and is chasing our heroes as the helicopter passes under a bridge at high speed and catches up to them as a shootout ensues. In addition, this could be considered his master class in how to design and direct an action film. However, with the effects he pioneered in The Abyss, he was able to bring his vision of the T-1000 to the big screen. He originally envisioned the T-1000 a part of the original film, but the technology didn’t exist in the mid 80’s to pull off that look. James Cameron – Director / WriterĬameron would direct two of the most well-regarded science fiction films prior to The Terminator sequel between 19 with Aliens and The Abyss, but there was a lot of legal wrangling that took place behind the scenes in order for Cameron to return to make Judgment Day. While James Cameron, Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger all returned from the previous film, a lot happened for each of them during the time it took to make Judgment Day.
