Despite being made a whole 12 years after the landmark and groundbreaking Judgement Day, the effects work here has taken a sharp detour in quality. But you'd never know that just by watching this. And that's one of the reasons why I enjoy it.Īt the time, this was the most expensive independently produced film, almost reaching the $200 million dollar range. It just can't help but look like a B-Movie, no matter how much money they threw at it. But there's something very defining in the way he shoots this thing. I mean, it looks good for the most part, and Mostow had proven himself an accomplished director with the damn near perfect thriller Breakdown. The same thing can't be said about the director of this one, Jonathan Mostow ( U-571, Breakdown).

Only with that first film, Cameron was such an incredible filmmaker that he made the film look and feel bigger than it actually was. If anything, it's pretty much a big budget B-Movie, much in the same way the first one actually was. Here's the thing, and I know I'm in the minority here, but I actually really enjoyed this a lot. For that reason alone, I thought I'd revisit this one since I already owned it, and really have no desire to go see the new one yet. For some reason, when people are bitching about the terrible sequels, their go-to is always Salvation and Genisys. All of the sequels after Part 2 get lots of flack, but there's something about this one. With all the hoopla over the new Terminator film hitting theaters, with most of it negative, I thought I'd take a look at one of the sequels that gets tons of flack.
