the HERALD- Wednesday July 17 Entertainment Pgel Terminator 2 packs a punch By LIZABETH JACKSON Herald Special I can think of a million different ways to spend one hundred million dollars find a cure for Cancer or AIDS house the homeless feed the world TriStar chose to make an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Ter minator 2 Judgement Day does mdeed serve up an action movie to beat all action movies but Ill bet that half the hefty price tag went to cleaning up the damage to trucks helicopters buildings etc and the other half went straight to Arnolds wallet My slightly sarcastic tone may suggest I didnt like Terminator 2 Far from it this movie kept my heart pounding along with the steadily mounting pace especially in the scenes in volving the bad Terminator whose name slips my mind but whose presence reminded me of Yul Brenners performance as the robot in the film Arnold is sensational as the Terminator a cyborg program med to protect young John OCon Movie Review nor from the bad Terminator who wants to terminate both John and his mother Sara played by Linda Hamilton Arnold has a sense of humor behind that stiff no- nonsense exterior and his heart warming relationship with John rivals that of the father son rela tionship between Indiana Jones and his dad John may resent being a target for a Terminator but one bonus is his power to make Arnold do as he demands Thus John is responsible for Arnold the mmators actions like adults are responsible for the technology which they invent Of course John understands that its okay to rob your foster parents but its not okay to kill them Linda Hamilton looking more like a ferocious beast than the beauty she played on televisions Beauty and the Beast is fabulous as Sara She portrays a singleminded determination on par with the two Terminators which I assume was the intent of directorco writer James Cameron Only her human com passion prevents her from being a ruthless machine Likewise the message the movie shouts is that compassion and caring are human qualities just as evil and violent are and that America will be saved from destroying itself and the rest of the world if it can find that com passion I doubt it can but then again I didnt grow up in Hollywood Industrial Light and Magic a household name for anyone in terested in films created the much lauded special effects which are definitely original and entertaining I was wary of see ing the movie for fear that it would be laden with blood and gore but in fact the violence was pretty clean Machines have no and blood just wait until you see what they do have I still cant get over the movies expense however Terminator 2 is a fantastic and visually ex citing action film Arnold himself predicts it will be the smash of the summer Anyone dare to refute
