Jun 9th  
Terminator 2: Judgment Day**  

(US 1991)      

A duplicate of the killer android who tried to prevent the birth of the future revolutionary John Connor, is now ordered by him to destroy an even more ruthless killer robot called the T-1000.
Our futuristic trilogy of sorts concludes with this landmark special effects sequel; mechanical in the best sense of the word, following on from the same basic formula as the original, with added elements of female empowerment, occasionally thoughtful characterisation and quirky robotic humour, all swept along in the general juggernaut of a narrative.
