A smart flip on the premise of the first film. The set pieces are brilliantly staged and imaginative, you only have to watch them once before they burn themselves onto your memory. There’s also great comedic moments, beautiful camerawork, boundary pushing effects and interesting character moments. My only real complaint is that some of the sound effects and soundtrack in the first third can feel a little dated, even for a film from 1991. There are also some minor moments of weak acting, but in the broader context of James Cameron films, the one liners and emotional resonance are so good here that I barely even notice it.
